CHART-TOPPER MARK RONSON HELPS CREAMFIELDS
CREAMFIELDS
have announced that the inclusion of Mark Ronson as one of this
year's headline acts has helped the UK's Number One dance festival
achieve its highest ticket sales figures in its 10 year reign.
Festival organisers have revealed that they have sold 10,000 tickets
to date - 60% up on previous years sales. Following on from last
year's sell-out 40,000 show, it is the best ever start in the
history of Creamfields - thanks to the line-up of Ronson and
headline acts such as dance legends The Chemical Brothers, Groove
Armada as well as Kelis, LCD Soundsystem and Carl Cox - and the new
kids on the block New York Pony Club - all performing tracks from
their latest album releases.
Following the release of his sophomore album, Version - which
features an eclectic mix of covers by the likes of Amy Winehouse,
Robbie Williams and The Kaiser Chiefs - Ronson has become the UK's
hottest pop star - topping the UK album, singles and download
charts. The uber-producer is making his debut at the festival which
takes place on Saturday August 25 in Daresbury, Halton, Cheshire -
playing live and DJ-ing.
"Creamfields is a legendary festival, I've always wanted to
play there and the fact that we'll be debuting there with the full
live band is even fresher. I can't wait," says Ronson.
"We are delighted with the response we have had so far as it
proves what an excellent lineup we have this year, along with our
2nd year on the site it seems Creamfields 2007 is well on its way to
being one of our biggest to date" comments James Barton, CEO,
Cream.

BE
AWARE OF VIRAL MENINGITIS
WITH Peter
Andre, of I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here fame, discharged from
hospital after suffering viral meningitis, the Meningitis Trust is
urging people from the North West to learn the signs and symptoms of
the disease, cases of which peak during the summer months.
Viral meningitis is a disease that on rare-occasions can kill and
more commonly can cause lasting after-effects. The Meningitis
Trust's Bridie Taylor says:- "Viral meningitis usually isn't
as serious as the bacterial form of the disease, however, while most
people make a full-recovery, some are left with serious and
debilitating after-effects including damage to hearing, severe and
recurring headaches, depression and extreme tiredness so we are
urging people to be aware of the signs and symptoms."
In the initial stages the signs and symptoms of viral meningitis are
the same as bacterial meningitis, they include fever, headache,
stiff neck, dislike of bright lights, vomiting and diarrhoea,
confusion and aching joints and muscles. In babies refusing feeds,
fretful and a moaning or high-pitched cry are also signs. The
symptoms can appear in any order and some may not appear at all.
Like other viral illnesses, viral meningitis is not treatable with
antibiotics meaning it can take patients months to recuperate and it
can leave them with lasting and debilitating after-effects. Bridie
says:- "Although viral meningitis doesn't respond to
antibiotics it still requires urgent admission to hospital because
until tests confirm that the meningitis is viral, there is every
chance it could be the more serious bacterial meningitis which can
kill within hours."
The Meningitis Trust provides practical and emotional support to
people affected by meningitis and increases understanding of the
disease through targeted awareness campaigns and specialist learning
resources. If you would like further information call the Meningitis
Trust's 24 hour nurse led helpline on 0800 028 18 28 or visit the
website.
