We happened to bump into Chris Leonard (Son Of Dork) today and we were informed that he has actually formed a new band. There is no MySpace page for the band as of yet, but they have written songs and will hopefully soon be in the process of recording, so expect to be hearing alot more about this in the future :-)

Meanwhile, James updated his blog earlier this week confirming his future career path as a solo artist.

It looks like the £10m royalty battle between McPhail and Doyle and Matt and James has finally come to an end, with good results! The two 'original' Busted members have lost the case to our boys, leaving Matt and James' achievements with Busted untarnished. Hurrah!

We're sorry to announce James' upcoming gig in Burnley has been cancelled due to licensing rights. Anyone who bought tickets should have received a phonecall about refunds already. However, James just announced on his MySpace page that he still intends to do a gig on July 12, but at another location. Our competition will be concentrating on this gig from now on, so keep sending in your entries and you might just get lucky!

P.S. All you skater kids should check out Sicpuppy Skateboarding!

There is going to be another small one hour solo gig in Burnley (near Manchester) this summer! The gig will be held on July 12th, 8:30pm at Burnley's Koko's. Tickets are £20 a piece and you can only get them exclusively online for now. If you want to know more of this, simply send us an email at the main address and we'll redirect you from there!

We are hopefully giving away a few tickets ourselves in the near future so keep checking back for this.

James is one of the twelve songwriters including Gary Barlow working on new television programme Britannia High, which will be aired on ITV1 sometime later this year. You can find out more information about the show on the shows official website here.

Happy '08! James is currently writing some material with/for the Jonas Brothers' upcoming album in LA aswell as some new songs of his own and will be flying back to the UK pretty soon.
