A three-piece all-girl pop group whose original members were all under 17 when they first hit the charts. Their chart smash reworking of the Gary Numan classic Freak Like Me got to No 1, and also earned the sassy trio a Q Award for Best Single. Since then they have taken the pop world by storm with a top 5 platinum album (Angels With Dirty Faces) and a Brit Award for Best Dance Act in 2003. The recent departure of founder member Keisha Buchanan gives the girls their fourth line-up change, with new member Jade Ewan joining Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah.

Lee Mack

Lee Mack is fast becoming one of the UK's most recognisable and celebrated comics. His relentless determination to have fun is marvellously infectious and leaves his audience exhausted by laughter, and his energy, finely crafted one-liners and quick ad-libs make him a force to be reckoned with on the stand-up circuit.

The Blockheads

Formed in 1977 to promote Ian Dury's album New Boots and Panties on the first Stiff Records tour of the UK. Chaz Jankel, Norman Watt-Roy, John Turnbull and Mick Gallagher still remain from the original band, and the current line-up is augmented by Gilad Atzmon and Dylan Howe.

Phill Jupitus

This popular stand-up and TV comedian is well-known for his appearances on the pop music quiz show Never Mind The Buzzcocks. His career as a performer began in 1984 when he quit his job as a civil servant to follow a new direction as a performance poet on the alternative comedy circuit and supporting bands such as The Style Council and The Housemartins. During the late '80s he worked Billy Bragg, directing videos for both Bragg and Kirsty MacColl. Phill has an abiding love and in-depth knowledge of popular music, particularly ska, bluebeat and rhythm & blues. His hugely successful standup tours have included Jedi, Steady, Go and Quadrophobia, and he has worked extensively on radio, variously as a contributor, panellist and presenter. He has also been touring as part of The Blockheads line-up.

Björn Again

Björn Again was created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne, Australia by Company Director and Bass Player Rod Stephen. The show, which is not labelled a 'tribute' or a 'copy' but seen as a band in its own right, rapidly achieved worldwide cult status, boasting over 4000 performances in 60 countries in 20 years. Recently endorsed by ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog, the ultimate aim for Rod is to keep his band at the top and continue for as long as people want to hear ABBA's songs performed the way Björn Again do them...hopefully for another 20 years!!

Peter Andre

London-born, Aussie-based pop singer with the famous six-pack who had a string of hits in the 1990s, the most popular of which ('Mysterious Girl') shifted over 2 million copies. After time out of the limelight mostly focused on writing for other artists, Andre re-entered the media world by appearing on ITV's 'I'm A Celebrity...' in 2004 and finishing third. Following the series, Peter and his now ex-wife Jordan made a six-part fly-on-the-wall documentary of their everyday life. Now relaunching his music career, Peter's current album, Revelation, entered the UK Album Chart at #3 in September 2009.
