This Feeling TV launch at Nambucca, London

-

Libertines singer Carl Barat marked the first recording of the telly show that gives indie music the chance to shine in true rock ’n’ roll style... by chucking a TV out of a window – and revealing plans for a Libertines hotel and a new album.

Meanwhile Martin Compston crowd-surfed as Slaves, Tom Grennan and DMAs entertaine­d the crowd, well oiled by gallons of Red Stripe. And he reckons he’s launching his own range of Line Of Duty gnomes.

I’ll clear space in my garden.

The Sherlocks played to a sold-out crowd at London’s Electric on Wednesday. I left them doing shots, honing their rock ’n’ roll behaviour in time for their Kings of Leon support tour. Live For The Moment, their debut album, is out in August. The ink had barely dried on Brooklyn Beckham’s 18th birthday cards before he followed dad David and had a Native American tat and a camera inked on him. But he had boasted of his plans long ago to his pal, The Vamps guitarist James McVey.

James, whose single Middle Of The Night dropped on Friday, said: “When we first got to know Brooklyn a few years ago, he said he was going to get some tattoos.

“Then he went to LA for Easter and got them and didn’t tell me.”

And James believes Brooklyn, who starred in their Wake Up video, will be a top student when he moves to New York to study photograph­y in September. He said: “He does work very hard.” They had the biggest-selling physical album this week with Tears On The Dancefloor – so Steps are feeling giddy. And since releasing on their own label, the royalties are all theirs. Ian ‘H’ Watkins said: “We’re directors of our own company so everything is our baby. We wanted to come back, uphold our legacy but do it in our own way.” Quite right too.
