The X Factor 2011 U.K. tour at the Wembley Arena

2011-03-21T04:09:00.000-07:00

At this year The X Factor 2011 U.K. tour perform at the Wembley Arena on 5th and 6th March, has been getting mostly mixed reviews, but Cher Lloyd and his flamboyant style for better or for worse to specific, out in the review, released.

The tour began at 19th February and end on 10th April. The X Factor U.K. tour season 7 for 2010 winner Matt Cardle, Aiden Grimshaw, Katie Waissel, Mary Byrne, Paije Richardson, One Direction, Rebecca Ferguson and Wagner Carrilho.

In the afternoon and evening in a one: many in cities, two concert tour is one day.

Guardian in London March 5 show a negative review given to most. 5 stars out concert to 2, the Guardian commented:

"It makes for a stilted and constantly interrupted live experience. Still, no one seems to mind as 17-year-old opener Cher Lloyd bounces around the stage dressed like a mini version of her mentor Cheryl Cole. She's one of the few acts tonight with star quality, and a stripped-down version of Shakespeare's Sister's ‘Stay’ is genuinely touching. Other highlights include runner-up Rebecca Ferguson's sophisticated dance diva transformation, while Aiden Grimshaw's angst-ridden ‘Mad World’ is just the right side of emo.

"The highlights are too fleeting, however, and a run of songs midway through finds Mary Byrne confusing volume with emotion on a wretched mauling of Could It Be Magic, while Katie Waissel croaks her way through ‘Help!.’ The noise levels go beyond human hearing capabilities for One Direction, an old-school boyband who only ever seem to harmonise by accident.

"The final five songs – bar　a lacklustre ensemble encore of David Bowie's ‘Heroes’ – are given over to Matt Cardle, last year's winner. A rousing version of Katy Perry's ‘Firework’ soon gives way to four turgid ballads. If the aim of ‘The X Factor’ is to find someone with that certain indefinable something, then it has failed spectacularly. Watching Cardle beam cheekily on a revolving platform above the stage, you can't help but feel that he should enjoy it while it lasts."

My Chemical Romance - Teenagers - Lyrics

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Ohhh yeah!

They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

All together now!

Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
[x2]

In front of a packed Wembley Arena,Tyler Goodjohn winning streams begin his professional career with a points victory over the experienced Matt Seawright.

"It was a good win," said Goodjohn, from Wentworth.

"I was a bit disappointed the fight was only four rounds. I don’t really know why they brought it down.

"In the fourth round I started to land some really big shots. If there had been just one more round I’m sure I would have got him out of it.

"Going into the fight I felt really fit. By the fourth round I was just getting warmed up. In a way it’s a good thing it was only four rounds, but to be told the day before the fight it was going down from six was a bit disappointing."

For the former Haddenham ABC star to boxing at Wembley Arena was a special moment and being appreciated by around 100 supporters, including elder brother Liam who he supported the previous week, made the atmosphere even better.

"It was really good to box there," said Goodjohn. "The atmosphere was brilliant. I thought I’d get nervous, but I didn’t. I managed to rise to the occasion and really enjoyed it."

London 2012 Olympics venues: Wembley Arena

2011-02-14T16:03:00.000-08:00

Wembley Arena is a regular host of sporting events, including boxing, ice hockey and darts, so there is a fairly small amount of preparation needed to be done to get it ready for the badminton and rhythmic gymnastics, during which it will be capable of hosting 6,000 spectators.

Any possible issues will be smoothed out at the Badminton World Championships, which will take place at the Arena in August this year and act as a Test event. The Arena’s most familiar appearance is as a concert venue for pop and rock acts and its location on the Jubilee Line means fans can get to and from the Olympic Park and Central London with minimum fuss.

The downside of the relative ease of hosting the event is that there will be no post-Games legacy for badminton.

Sonu Nigaam while talking to a reporter said that "The last I came to the UK was for the legendary Rafi Resurrected tour, with the CBSO. People worldwide still talk about that one. But meanwhile my regular live performances have gone to another level! There has been some kind or renaissance! Wherever we have gone, it has been an opening of sorts for following artistes. We have been able to open dead sectors like Australia and New Zealand in the last five years for big tours now. Thus a UK concert is overdue"

Sonu will going to perform for an incredible 3 hours show he said that "For me live performance is a high that's incomparable to anything else musically. For me it’s a three hour-long orgasm - the foreplay being the preparation time for it! You have to be vocally, physically, mentally and spiritually fit and involved for a perfect one. That's the clear test of a true singer. Every other platform can be manipulated with, but not live shows. That's why I get so involved during my performances. And that's why perhaps, we are so loved by the audiences world wide."

Wembley Arena at the end of the ‘rainbow’

2010-07-04T02:04:00.000-07:00

Wembley Stadium has become one of the most recognisable of London’s landmarks – or rather its arch has, stretching like a monochrome rainbow over the city’s northern suburbs. But up close, as many football fans know, the urban mish mash that surrounds it is less memorable. The walk from Wembley Central station along the high road is one where pound shops battle for business, moneylenders and pawnbrokers ply their trades and where on match days the pubs, curry houses and betting shops are packed full.
Francis Henry, managing director of Wembley based estate agent Daniels, says: “My office is on the high road and what I look is a run down area, poor people, high unemployment and sub standard living. There is a lot of social housing. There used to be stores here such as C&A and Marks and Spencer. Forty years ago, before the (shopping) centre at Brent Cross was built, it was like the West End. Rates were higher than Oxford Street.”
The new stadium, which opened after much delay in March 2007, was the catalyst for a transformation of the area, with 87 acres nearby being developed into a complex of hotels, flats, shops and restaurants. The entire enterprise has been branded Wembley City.
The local council, Brent, is behind the regeneration plans, along with Quintain Estates, which bought the land in 2003 when work on the stadium was beset by cash-flow problems, and consequently provided most of the financial muscle.
Quintain’s chief executive, Nick Shattock, says: “In 2002, the Greater London Authority’s London Plan, which outlines the strategy for building in the capital, anticipated there should be 146 new homes in the entire 1,000-acre Wembley area. We persuaded the GLA to create 5,000 houses.”
Planning permission was granted in 2003, the year the stadium was originally meant to open, and already the Wembley Arena concert venue has been refurbished at a cost of more than £35m. Another 40 buildings, including a boulevard of bars and restaurants, a 656 room Hilton hotel and a nine screen cinema complex, are on the way, as well as a designer outlet centre that will complement “anchor stores” such as Marks and Spencer. Work has started on a 600-unit block for student accommodation and twin 21-storey towers will stand along Empire Way.
James Saunders, managing director of commercial ventures at Quintain, says: “The old Wembley plc attracted 3.5m people to the stadium a year with 12m coming to the Arena. By broadening its appeal we anticipate 30m visitors a year with 1,000 living here by end of this summer.”
Quintain hold weekly meetings with Brent Council to ensure their aspirations dovetail. Prafula Shah, Brent’s marketing manager, says: “In Wembley City we have apartments in private gated developments which are ideal for young people and families and right on the doorstep of what is set to become a brand new buzzing London destination. In all, the council plans 6,500 new homes within the next 10 years. Wembley has also seen an £85m investment in public transport upgrades at its three train and Tube stations, making it the most connected urban area to central London.”
In a flurry of activity, the council has decided to build a new civic centre opposite the Arena with a community hall for up to 1,000 people, a library and a learning centre; it has approved the development of a shopping and residential block by Wembley Central station with 259 residential flats – 174 private and 85 affordable homes for key workers; a school on the high road is to be torn down and replaced with a 28 storey block with 448 flats, offices and a new school and sports centre.
Low-carbon specialists Zed Homes are to build a 17-storey hotel with 120 beds and 108 timeshares and both the Intercontinental hotel chain and Millennium Hotels have permission to build.
Quintain is undoubtedly in pole position in terms of residential development. Two blocks of flats have been completed. Forum House has 145 private homes with another 160 that are a mix of social and shared cost. Prices range from £217,500 for a one bedroom flat to £499,000 for two-bed duplexes of 1,071 sq ft. Next door, Quadrant Court, with 235 units of which 90 are private, has prices ranging from £175,000 for a 324 sq ft studio to £355,000 for a two-bed, two-bath flat of 753 sq ft.
An appearance by Take That at Wembley Arena in July 2009 was enough to persuade 33 year old management consultant Zoe Guilford to take the plunge. “There were about 80,000 fans trying to get home after the concert,” she says. “As I was stuck in traffic, I passed the new apartments near the stadium and thought how great it would be if I could just walk home right now and not have to drive. When I told my father he suggested looking into buying one as a sort of ‘social base’ – somewhere we could use after concerts and sports events.”
In the event Guilford decided to move to the Isle of Man but bought an apartment in Wembley’s Forum House as a buy-to-let, and reckons she is making a six per cent return on her investment.
Francis Henry of Daniels points to Wembley’s lively property scene, and the rental market in particular. “I was initially concerned that the slump would put an end to further development and there would just be the two new blocks of flats but now the funding has been agreed the place is a hive of activity.
“We thought that Quintain prices would provide a knock-on effect for us. If you are looking at a flat for £300,000 you might consider buying a freehold property for the same price. The new flats are already looking a bit tired so, although there might be a bit more work and maintenance with a house, you can earn a better rent out of it.”
Properties on Daniels’ books at the £300,000 mark include a three-bed, two-reception room town house with off-road parking for up to six cars which “would suit either a DIY enthusiast, builder/investor looking for a refurbishment project or as a buy-to-let.”
Henry echoes the universal lament of the estate agent: “We have buyers lining up but because the banks are reluctant to open the flood gates we have been doing a lot of renting. Prices of properties have dropped so much there is a bigger margin of profit to be made here with buy-to-let.”

Wembley Arena peace conference postponed

2010-06-25T13:54:00.000-07:00

Wembley peace conference postponed after Dr Zakir Naik's ban indefinitely after the keynote speaker was banned from entering the UK.
The Al-Khair Peace Convention was due to take place at Wembley Arena tomorrow, with well-known Muslim cleric Dr Zakir Naik due to attend as the star guest.
However, Dr Naik has been banned from the country by Home Secretary Theresa May because of what she described as “unacceptable behaviour”.
The arranger, Croydon based charity the Al-Khair Foundation, has postponed the event as Dr Naik launches a legal challenge to Mrs May's decision.
The conference would have been the focus of a demonstration by the English Defence League (EDL), which claimed Dr Zakir was a “preacher of hate”, an accusation he has strenuously denied.
EDL demonstration threat as a result, Unite Against Fascism activists were planning a counter-demonstration against an organisation they accuse of having links to the British National Party and being supporters of racism and fascism.
However, since Dr Naik's ban, both protests have been relocated to Barking tomorrow.
The Al-Khair Foundation insists the conference will be re-arranged when Dr Naik can enter the country, and both UAF and EDL have indicated they may protest in Wembley if that happens.

In Wembley Arena Mystery over rumours of a right-wing protest

2010-06-17T11:47:00.000-07:00

Mystery surrounds a rumour that a controversial organisation are to hold a protest in the borough next Saturday (26). According to anti fascism campaigners, the (EDL) English Defence League are planning to demonstrate outside Wembley Arena while a peace conference organised by Al Khair Foundation, a Muslim charity, takes place. But, the EDL are staying tight lipped over the claims and their website has no announcement. The EDL are a far right organisation who campaign against Islamism, Sharia law and Islamic extremism in England. Since they were established last year they have been involved in a number of protests that have culminated in clashes between its members and its critics. If a rally by EDF does go ahead, Brent and Harrow United Against Fascism (BHUAF) are planning a counter protest at the same time. The borough's 40 Labour councillors, the Bishop of Willesden and the President and Secretary of Brent Trades Union Council have come out in support of BHUAF's plans.Cllr Ann John, leader of Brent Council, said: "Brent is Britain's most diverse multi cultural and multi faith borough and our diversity is our strength. "The planned demonstration is a deliberate provocation aimed at creating fear amongst the Muslim community and undermining community relations."

Badminton England start preparations for World Championships after Wembley nod

2010-06-01T02:27:00.000-07:00

Badminton England, the national governing body, will meet world badminton officials in the next three weeks to begin preparations for the World Championships after an agreement was reached last week to host the sport at Wembley Arena in 2012. The 2011 World Championships, to be held in August, will be a test event for the London 2012 Olympics and negotiations will take place with the Badminton World Federation to fathom expectations for the event.

Locog, London 2012's organisers, finally reached an agreement last week for badminton and rhythmic gymnastics to be staged at Wembley Arena after months of prolonged negotiations.

The sports had initially resisted the change to base them in north Greenwich, the original plan, due to the increased travel times from the Olympic Village to north London.

Adrian Christy, Badminton England's chief executive, said: "It has been well known for some time that there have been issues and we have been sympathetic to that with the economic climate in mind.

"The logistical problem has been how to transport the players in a sensible time. No one expected it to last this long but the complexity of the athletes hotel and the training facilities have been a factor."

Badminton's training facility will be at Redbridge Sports Centre in Barkingside, Essex and will herald the sport's Olympic legacy after the Games.

Redbridge is currently completing a £6.3 million redevelopment and the 12-court facility will also host the other competing teams as an Olympic training venue.

Ricky Gervais at Wembley Arena

2010-04-28T01:53:00.001-07:00

Forget Cleggy and co for a second - it’s a big week for comedy. In Manchester - at the MEN Arena, where he once worked as a steward - Peter Kay is unveiling his first stand-up show in seven years. In London, Ricky Gervais is back at Wembley Arena . Politicians can but dream of holding rallies of this size, night after night.
It’s hard not to think about all the money flowing into the stars’ bank accounts without going green with envy. And yet one of the main reasons, surely, why people flock to gigs of this magnitude, is tobask in all that unobtainable affluence. There’s something so incongruous about a bloke standing on stage in front of thousands - a blurred speck were it not for the giant screens relaying every move -that the scale of the achievement is as much a part of the experience as the comedy. And few make more of this than Gervais.

The London leg of his Science tour finds the braggart creator of TheOffice and Extras etc, etc largely replicating the show he firstpresented in Edinburgh last August, with the odd tweak and insertion.
Once again, though, he appears content to coast on his reputation, andeven abuse the power that comes with celebrity, rather than push histalents in new directions.
Lookingly weirdly like George Michael, thanks to an unfetching moustache, and dosed up on pain-killers as a result of golfing-related back-strain, Gervais displays characteristic chutzpah by opening with a confession that he’s not bothered about playing Wembley: “I’ve got better things to do than this,” he says, eyeing his watch - this, we’re told, is “a warm-up for Madison Square Garden”.
I laughed at that, but we’re soon enough cast into the re-heated slurry of minor provocation and knowing obnoxiousness. There are over-generous helpings of material about fat people, rounded off with a bilious description of a Ken Dodd fan: “I’m trying to avoid saying 'fat mental bird’,” he tells us, all smirking disingenuousness.
There are playground barbs about Amanda Holden and Susan Boyle - who looks “like a mong” - and contemptuous reflections on repellent autograph-hunters. For the atheists, there’s a caustic deconstruction of a children’s picture-book about Noah. For the bawdy-minded, there are numerous knob-gags.
Gervais has a style that’s at once plaintive and relaxed, which works well, but the substance is missing. The woman in front of me spent the entire show with her head on her partner’s shoulder with a “wake me up when it’s over” look about her. At least she’ll be able to say she was there, though.

Wembley Stadium Twin Towers 'model' for 1.2 billion dollar Dallas Cowboys arena

2010-03-29T08:25:00.000-07:00

Jerry Jones, whose Dallas Cowboys Stadium will host the World Boxing Organisation welterweight battle between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey here on Saturday night, revealed to The Daily Telegraph that aspects of the stadium were modelled on the design of Wembley Stadium.

“I visited Wembley three times while it was being built,” said Jones, who added that he had never contemplated buying an English Premiership club. Instead, he invested 1.2 billion US dollars to build a new Cowboys Stadium which is a breathtaking monolith to sporting indulgence.

Jones revealed to The Daily Telegraph: “Our plazas at either end sees around 60 per cent of our fans coming in, and the glass doors completely go away. It opens straight in, with huge alleyways of greenery. The idea of having people entering the stadium that way came from the train that stops at Wembley. We took that land, beachfront property and made it into an entrance like Wembley.”

John Mayer close to British breakthrough

2010-02-19T05:08:00.000-08:00

Guitarist John Mayer is making belated progress in his bid to be known in this country beyond American expats and Heat readers more interested in which starlet he is currently squiring.
As he played a sizeable theatre show last night having just announced a May gig at Wembley Arena, the fact that the 32-year-old still shows no sign of having a hit over here is starting to seem less relevant.

"Thank you for robbing me of my freaky anonymity in the UK," he beamed to a crowd who seemed to know all the words. "We can mark off another country where I cannot visit adult bookstores."

What is it about Mayer's soulful contemporary rock that is taking so long to translate?
On recent fourth album Battle Studies he's not singing about baseball or fannypacks but about the joys of singledom (Perfectly Lonely) and marijuana (Who Says).
Singing with a slight Bryan Adams rasp that rose to a crisp falsetto during a surprise cover of the Jackson Five's I Want You Back, his own full back catalogue proved that delayed fame makes for a better setlist.

There was a shimmer worthy of U2's Edge on his guitar lines on Heartbreak Warfare, while he also handled loose funk on Vultures and acoustic pop on early track Why Georgia.
The solos rained down as the night wore on, especially during an epic Gravity.
Mayer displayed an affinity with his instrument that made it clear why he counts Eric Clapton among his jamming buddies.

But despite an armful of tattoos that hinted at a rock 'n' roll heart, he never really let himself go.
With boy band looks and real technical ability, on paper and over the pond Mayer has got it all.
It seems Britain is coming closer to deciding that we want it too.

Wembley Arena with ZZ Top's electric guitar player

2009-11-04T13:08:00.000-08:00

In the London on the tube Wembley Arena with ZZ Top's electric guitar player surprised fans of the rock group last week by travelling to a gig.

At Wembley Arena the rock group were gearing up for a gig when Billy Gibbons decided to purchase a ticket for the London Underground.
Speaking to BBC News, he revealed that he did feel a "little edgy" at first on the train, as one man on the route was "checking me out".
"And then I realised that he was looking at a ZZ Top concert ticket," Gibbons commented.
The bearded musician added that he may keep taking public transport to gigs, as he arrived at the venue before his bandmates.
This is despite the fact that the Circle Line broke down only minutes after he purchased his train ticket.
ZZ Top formed in the 1960s and have since notched up numerous worldwide hits such as Sharp Dressed Man, La Grange, Viva Las Vegas and Legs.

A major concert Sir Elton John has cancelled at short notice after being diagnosed with flu.
The star scrapped Friday evening's gig at Sheffield Arena after doctors told him he needed time to rest.

2009-09-13T06:29:00.000-07:00

The Michael Jackson tribute show, originally scheduled for 26 September in Vienna has been moved to London's Wembley Arena.A year later than planned, London will feature a tour dedicated to the King of Pop Michael Jackson. Although the late and great Michael Jackson himself won't be gracing our stages, a London tribute concert, which has been a subject of discussion since just hours after his death, has finally been planned for next June, 2010.The news comes after the announcement of a Michael Jackson Tribute Show in Vienna set to feature a star studded cast of music names. However Jermaine Jackson and the concert promoter George Kindel reconsidered the date and location when top performers Mary J Bilge, Natalie Cole and Chris Brown pulled out claiming scheduling conflicts.Michael Jackson was finally laid to rest on 4 September and the announcement of the Vienna tribute concert came the following week. The eight week lead time before the show, however, proved too challenging the short notice saw numerous stars unable to attend. The new date and venue offer eight months for the promoter, Jackson family and music guests to organise the event."Instead of eight weeks we now have eight months to prepare," Jermaine Jackson told press. "Some of the stars who were not able to participate in the Vienna concert, but expressed their wish to participate in this event, will be able to perform at Wembley Stadium in London in June 2010."We can expect to see many of the big names in music who were expected to be missing from the Vienna event in London next June.

the MEN arena, Elbow bring The Seldom Seen Kid

A LAST chance to see Elbow perform this year, when they bring The Seldom Seen Kid to the MEN arena on Friday, September 18.
Elbow, arguably the band of 2009, are riding high after winning the Mercury Music Prize, the South Bank Show Award for best album, an NME award for outstanding contribution to British music and the BRIT for best British band.
Following a sold out Wembley Arena show, an extolled set as part of Meltdown at the Royal Festival Hall, and two sold out shows with the Halle orchestra at the Manchester International Festival, the band have striven to make live performances particular and coercive and this final show will be no exception.
Frontman, Guy Garvey, said: “It’s been a brilliant group of years if, at times, a bit frantic and infrequently bizarre. To finish with a home town show is the perfect end to a perfect year.”
Tickets cost £25 (subject to booking fee) and are available from www.gigsandtours.com or by ringing 08712200260 now.

Wembley Arena Premier League kicks off at O2

2009-08-22T14:48:00.000-07:00

Premier League Darts is set for its biggest ever crowd when the new season begins at London's O2 Arena.
The 15 venues have been approved for the 2010 tournament, which starts at the group Greenwich venue on February 11 and visits 13 UK cities before the Wembley play offs on May 23.
More than 75,000 fans saw the 2009 Premier League Darts, completing the event's progression into the country's biggest indoor sporting event in just five seasons.
That number is set to increase next year, with over 10,000 tickets going on sale for the O2 Arena which would be the largest crowd in the sport's modern era.
The Liverpool Echo Arena, Belfast's Odyssey Arena and the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester all hold up to 8,000 fans to see the world's best darts players.
"To be able to stage the opening alliance night of the 2010 Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts at the world-famous O2 Arena in London shows not only the popularity of the tournament but also the appetite for PDC darts," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.
"This tournament has grown each year since 2005, when only 600 fans attended the first alliance night in Stoke.
"To now be able to host over 10,000 fans at the O2 Arena as well as crowds of up to 8,000 at the UK's other top indoor venues is a big statement for the sport.
"No other indoor sport is able to match the excitement and value for money tandered by the Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts, which will travel to all four turning point of the UK over three months."
This year, the £400,000 tournament also come back to the BIC in Bournemouth, which previously hosted sold out Premier League Darts in 2006 and 2007.
Following the visits to the O2 Arena and BIC in Bournemouth, the tournament moves on to the Odyssey Arena in Belfast and then to Exeter's Westpoint Arena.
Visits to the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester, Brighton Centre and the new LG Arena in Birmingham complete the first half of the 14 week alliance phase.
Cardiff's CIA, the SECC in Glasgow and Sheffield Arena continue the UK wide tour, before the Liverpool Echo Arena, AECC in Aberdeen, Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle and Trent FM Arena in Nottingham host the remaining alliance nights.
The top four players from the eight man alliance table will then advance to the play offs, which will be held at the Wembley Arena on Sunday May 23.
All nights are projected live on Sky Sports and will start at 7pm, and feature the world's top six players, following the 2010 World Darts Championship, alongside two Wildcard selections.
Reigning champion James Wade will assert his title in the tournament, while four time winner Phil Taylor and Holland's Raymond van Barneveld will also finished.
Mervyn King and Terry Jenkins, the 2007 runner up, are also likely to carry on their position within the top six of the PDC's Order of Merit, but players such as Dennis Priestley, Ronnie Baxter and UK Open finalist Colin Osborne are all fighting for a spot going into the autumn's major tournaments.
The 2010 Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts will again boast £400,000 prize money, including £125,000 to the eventual champion.

Lee Evans - Wembley Arena

2008-08-19T04:30:00.000-07:00

'Monkey Boy' is the nickname he gave himself, probably to boost his underdog persona, and his physical style means he often gets excited and worry a lot under theatre lights.2 The name given to the comedy that was started in the Eighties and defined by Saturday Live and The Young Ones. It was 'alternative' in the sense that none of the comedians were sexist/racist/ageist, as most of the traditional comedians of the day were. In practice, it sometimes didn't work, as some women comedians became sexist against men, ie Jo Brand and everyone tried too hard to be inoffensive, something practically impossible in comedy

In 2002, Lee Evans had a sell-out tour of the UK, culminating in two nights at Wembley Arena, something very few comics have been able to do, confirming his status at the top of his profession. It was extra-special for Evans as it gave him the opportunity to play on stage with his hero, his father Dave Evans.

In 2008, Lee Evans again is going to perform in UK with his remarkable monkey efforts. He has declared four dates for Wembley Arena, London. The list of events are given as under:-

History of Wembley Arena

2008-08-14T04:00:00.000-07:00

Originally known as the Empire Pool, Wembley Arena was built for the Empire Games of 1934,
on part of the site of the lakes which had been laid out for the British Empire Exhibition ten years
earlier.
The necessity was for a swimming pool 200ft x 60ft which could be decorated over for use as an
ice rink or performance arena. The design commission went to Sir Owen Williams who had
played a key part in the construction of the Empire Exhibition. The Empire Pool provided Williams
individually with an ideal opportunity to demonstrate how concrete engineering could generate
explicit and attractive architecture. Consequently, the treatment of the Arena paid no regard
whatsoever to the adjacent Palaces of Art and of Industry that had survived from the Empire
Exhibition. Likewise, although the Empire Pool was sited close to the Empire Stadium, Williams.
scheme turned its back to the Stadium and its main approaches.
The Arena building was thus considered of as an adaptable, all-purpose performance space. It
was built to be primarily a swimming pool but it could also be converted to an arena for sporting
events and performances. The swimming pool was closed at the outbreak of war (1939) and was
subsequently only used as a pool for the Olympic Games (1948). In c.1956 a permanent timber
floor was installed. In 1973 that timber floor was replaced by the present floor, built of Bison slabs
on steel A-frames supported off the bottom of the swimming pool.

The other main changes made to the building can be summarised as follows:
• The infilling (with wood-wool slab) of the glazed areas in the roof, and also the infilling of
the windows in the end walls (all the windows had been painted over for the black-out in
WWII);
• The external post-tensioning of the roof frames at the east end, in order to give added
strength sufficient to carry a lighting grid in the Arena;
• The installation of air-changing equipment, replaced by comfort cooling equipment in
1996;
• Numerous small-scale changes, especially in the end annexes and the changing /
dressing room areas.

None of these changes has compromised the fundamental special interest of the building or the
way it is used, but they have seriously affected the present appearance of the east end of the
building in particular.

The Wembley Arena building was listed Grade II in 1976. The main aspect of the building.s special interest is its technical virtuosity in its adventurous use
of reinforced concrete. The roof structure was highly inventive and achieved the greatest span for
its time. It successfully answered the need for vast unobstructed space which could be
constructed in less than a year. As well as making a striking impression on those who visited the
building when it was new, its innovative structure has continued to be admired by engineers and
architects. The rhythm of fins and ribs, with the water towers acting as prominent punctuation
marks at the corners, and the annex elements at either end providing a structurally stabilizing
influence, combine to create a remarkably robust and distinctive architectural and engineering
expression.
The Arena building is rich in what may be defined as historic associations too. In its earlier years
it was the venue for many of the country.s major sporting events; not just the swimming events at
the 1934 Empire Games and the 1948 Olympics but also boxing, cycling, indoor tennis and other
sports. In more recent years the Arena has become a major venue for popular music
performances and events. The last ever UK live performance by The Beatles took place in the
venue in 1966 and the Rolling Stones have played the Arena fourteen times since 1964.
