The Old Vinyl Factory Sessions are bringing music back to the echoey old buildings where The Beatles albums were pressed and the first British record players were made. Artists play two original songs and one cover version from the vinyl era. New talent meets music past.

“…Wretch [32] will make guest appearances and there could also be a few more surprises,” says a source to The Daily Mail Sunday. “They won’t be at every gig but they will definitely make a few surprise appearances throughout.”

So, Fazer is set to be in competition of sorts (not really) with Tulisa’s ‘X-Factor’ by creating his own talent show, though with a better premise for our youth. From MTV:
According to The Mirror, the rapper will host a new show that aims to create an “urban orchestra” from the UK’s underprivileged youth.
He told the paper: “I’ll be looking for really talented players that are underprivileged. From violas, to violins… all the strings, percussion, brass, drums, everything like that.
“I’ll put together people that wouldn’t necessarily get the opportunity to perform in a prestigious place, or even with a full orchestra, and create an urban orchestra which will really set me up for my tour next year.”
