SPRING is in the air, the sun is (almost) out, and everyone's looking forward to an eventful summer. No wonder the Aussies are all over here!

Well, one in particular, the lovely Holly Valance aka Flick from Neighbours, who is following the treacherous path taken by Kylie, Natalie Imbruglia and, dare we say, Stephan Dennis, and releasing a single.

With this corking version of a Turkish summer party tune, Kiss Kiss, might Holly be this summer's Whigfield?

I've also been rubbing shoulders with Pop Idol's Zoe and Hayley, prior to their recent Manchester Arena show. Hayley revealed she has some TV presenting in the pipeline, and fortune is definitely shining on Zoe, who, since Pop Idol, has been signed to Simon Cowell's label and asked out by the Sultan of Brunei's son...

I'm sure you lot don't need reminding that the tickets for Key 103's Feel The Noise, on July 19 at Lancashire Cricket Club, are now on sale. We could tell you who will feature in the extra special line-up -- but then we'd have to shoot you, so be patient!

There will also be a bonanza of Keyfest events happening in the North West over the summer, from comedy competitions, to pub parties, so keep your peepers peeled for info. And if you can't wait that long then fear not -- I'm back at Ikon on April 26, where the best commercial dance tunes, broadcast live on air, will keep you in that summertime mood all year round.
