It’s getting dark early, it’s cold, it’s the run-up to Christmas… but what’s missing? Oh yes – a new Leona Lewis album! Edgier on the whole than her debut, Echo balances out her trademark balladry with up-tempo numbers like ‘I Got You’ and the electro treat ‘Outta My Head’. With the writing and producing talents of pop music’s finest still on board, the X Factor winner’s sophomore is another guaranteed hit, with a few pleasant surprises.

Not since Jimmy Kranky, Orville the Duck and Bodger-less Badger played Skegness Embassy Theatre in 1992 has such a respected group of creative minds come together in the name of entertainment - until now. Josh Homme, David Grohl and John Paul Jones rock so hard they could blast the feathers off Orville, make Jimmy look like a 60 year-old woman in schoolboy clothing and mash Bodger’s potatoes within a minute of following them onstage. A watered down supergroup this isn’t.
