Showbiz News...


AND why not. This blog has been a bit 'football overload' recently, so I decided on a change for today.
The picture on the right celebrates the recent Marriage of musician Zac Hanson, 20, who married his long time girlfriend Kate, 22, in Georgia, USA, on June 3 2006. Zac is one third of the band Hanson, who had five hit singles in 1997 - 1998, taken from their album 'Middle of Nowhere', which was followed by the albums '3 Car Garage: The Indie Recordings', 'Snowed In' (a collection of Christmas songs) and the live concert recording of 'Live From Albertane'.

The three Hanson brothers who make up the band (Isaac: guitar & vocals, Taylor: piano/keyboard & vocals, Zac: drums, percussion & vocals) followed up their success with the album 'This Time Around' in the year 2000, which brought two singles: 'If Only' and 'This Time Around'.

A dispute with the record company Island DefJam saw Hanson go their seperate ways and form their own label, 3CG Records, through which saw the UK release of their album 'Underneath' through licensing to Cooking Vinyl in 2005, which gave Hanson two more chart hits, 'Penny & Me' and 'Lost Without Each Other'.

So join me, raise your glass to Zac and Kate, wish them all the best... and hope you have learned a little more pop music history too - Cheers!
