Glastonbury says no to Gilmour
PINK Floyd star Dave Gilmour has reportedly had his offer to perform at this year's Glastonbury Festival turned down by organiser Michael Eavis, who said he wasn't interested.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Dave has always had a soft spot for Glastonbury. He has a window in his touring plans and thought he would contact Michael about performing. And while Michael was grateful for the offer he turned it down. He wants the event to appeal to a younger generation and feels that Dave wouldn’t.” The line-up at this year’s Glastonbury has been heavily criticised, with the event failing to sell out as it has in recent years. The lukewarm response has been blamed on the appearance of US rapper Jay-Z, who has proved to be a controversial choice as headliner. Oasis star Noel Gallagher said: "If it isn't broken then don't fix it. If you start to break it then people aren't going to go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. "Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music… But I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong."
Meanwhile, Jay-Z is planning several parties to celebrate his forthcoming Glastonbury festival appearance. The rapper – real name Shawn Carter - is determined not to let critics of his headlining slot at the world famous UK event spoil his fun. He has already ordered cases of £300 bottles of Armand De Brignac champagne for his bashes, which are believed to be taking place in both the US and UK. A source revealed: “After hearing Tom Cruise and Will Smith laid it on at David and Victoria Beckham’s Welcome to America party last year, he wants a piece of the action.” Newlywed Jay-Z – who married long-term girlfriend Beyonce Knowles in a secret ceremony in April – is also set to arrive at the Somerset festival site, famed for its mud and bad weather, in style. The source added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Jay-Z will have a top-of-the-range helicopter to fly him in with champagne and the works.” Jay-Z recently spoke out to defend his appearance at the festival, after numerous people voiced their disapproval about the decision to have a hip-hop artist top the bill. The rap superstar said: "We don't play guitars but hip-hop has put in its work like any other form of music. “The world changes and we have to embrace the change. I've never been involved in anything this controversial. What's the big deal about doing a show?" Glastonbury festival runs over the weekend of June 27-29. Other headline acts include The Verve and the Kings of Leon.

Encore in Columbia: Tracy Byrd to Perform at Forrest Wood Cup
COLUMBIA, S.C., May 19 -- As if the prospect of watching
the world's top bass angler win as much as $1 million was not enough to
drive fishing fans crazy, FLW Outdoors announced today that multi-platinum
recording artist Tracy Byrd will perform a free concert during the $2
million Forrest Wood Cup presented by Castrol. The concert is slated to
take place Aug. 17 at 4 p.m., shortly before the day-four weigh-in at the
Colonial Center in Columbia, S.C.
Byrd is no newcomer to FLW Outdoors, having performed to a capacity
crowd at the 2007 Forrest Wood Cup in Hot Springs, Ark. He gave his first
FLW Outdoors concert at the 2003 Wal-Mart Open in Rogers, Ark. An avid
angler and hunter, Byrd has even developed his own line of crankbaits that
benefit the Special Olympics. "Next to family and music, fishing and
hunting are my passions," he says.
Since signing his first record deal in 1992, Byrd has become one of
country music's core artists. The Texas native has produced smash hits
including "Watermelon Crawl," "The Truth About Men," "Ten Rounds,"
"Lifestyles of the Not So Rich and Famous," and "Keeper of the Stars,"
which was the Academy of Country Music's Song of the Year in 1996.
Byrd's current album, "Different Things," has stayed strong since its
release in 2006. The album, his first studio album on his new label, Blind
Mule Records, features hits like "Better Places Than This" and "Cheapest
Motel."
The Forrest Wood Cup is bass fishing's biggest event. Thousands of
anglers from more than 40 states, Japan, Australia, Canada, Italy and Spain
have been casting for more than a year to earn a trip to the tournament --
held on Lake Murray in Columbia, S.C., and for the top 77 professionals and
77 co-anglers in the world, that dream will come true Aug. 14-17 when the
sport's biggest names compete for a $1 million top award.
FLW Outdoors, named after Forrest L. Wood, the legendary founder of
Ranger Boats, is the largest fishing tournament organization in the world.
In 2008 alone the organization is offering more than 90,000 anglers the
chance to win over $40 million through 230 tournaments in 10 circuits
targeting bass, walleye, redfish, kingfish and striped bass. FLW Outdoors
is also taking fishing mainstream with the largest cash awards in the
history of fantasy sports, $7.3 million.
