Jason DonovanHe was the biggest soap star, best selling recording artist and major heart throb of the 80’s; musical theatre’s leading man of the 90’s and now generally everyone’s favourite human being. Jason Donovan has become an entertainment legend, and the last 18 months could not have been busier. Following last year’s biggest ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ yet, we saw our favourite Antipodean make numerous TV appearances - GMTV, Children In Need, Al Murray, This Morning, Loose Women, Graham Norton, The Diana Concert and Paul O Grady to name but a few; the release of his autobiography ’Between the Lines’ which was listed in the Sunday Times Top Twenty list, and the release of his single ‘Share My World’, in the autumn.However, 2008 will be just as exciting and equally energetic. Jason will be starring in a new ITV prime time series starting in January called ‘Echo Beach’ alongside Martine McCutcheon. He’s recording a brand new album for release in September, his first in over fifteen years, and will go on an extensive tour of the UK at the end of the year. www.jasondonovan.org.uk ![]() CARROLL THOMPSONRaised in the gospel traditions of her grandmother’s house, and the church she was minister for, Carroll’s vocal and musical talents soon became evident.

Sam Heardis not a conventional female singer-songwriter.A songwriter since the age of 14, Sam is a classically trained pianist but a self-taught guitarist. Since leaving school Sam has travelled around the world, picking up inspiration from conversations and relationships, people and places. Many of Sam's songs are written in Dublin, a city she attributes with giving her a musical identity and creative independence. Unsurprisingly her musical influences are all great singers and songwriters, from Sandy Denny (who inspired Sam's song "Sandy") to Nina Simone, Cat Stevens to David Bowie. Her new songs and recent performances are already attracting widespread support from the public & each show demonstrates her growing fanbase. Over the coming months this 20 year old will begin recording some of her fabulous songs to form her debut album www.myspace.com/samanthaheard |
