James Morrison nominated for Best British Male/Video /new single "Slave to the Music"

James Morrison has been nominated for Best British Male at the 2012 BRIT awards, an accolade he has been nominated for twice before, and won in 2007. James said: “I’m really happy to be nominated for The Brits again this year, it’s going to be a great night. It’s always good to get that level of recognition for your work, and there are some great artists in there too. ‘The Awakening’ is such an intensely personal album to me, I’m just pleased people are sharing that and enjoying it so much, and the fans are giving me such incredible feedback and support.” His new single ‘Slave To The Music’ is released on February 20. The up tempo track is the third to be taken from his platinum selling album ‘The Awakening’. The song originally came to James in a dream, where he envisaged Michael Jackson singing the main hook. The Awakening was number one for two weeks when it was released last year. It also contains the singles ‘I Won’t Let You Go’ and the stunning duet with Jessie J ‘Up’ – which have sold over 300k copies.

Pipex px® doubles its support for conservation

Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) has this month received double support from one of its top Corporate Supporters for conservation work around the County. Pipex px®, based in Roborough, Plymouth has pledged £6,000 to support two vital projects in the County. DWT's Warleigh Point nature reserve, near Tamerton Foliot will now be sponsored by Pipex px®. Also benefiting is DWT's landscape scale project, Working Wetlands via the alternative carbon offset scheme run by Devon Wildlife Trust. A cheque presentation was held at Warleigh Point, the nearest nature reserve to the company's headquarters and where a recent team from Pipex px® carried out a Corporate Volunteering Day which involved coppicing of areas of the woodland at the popular site. Devon Wildlife Trust's Corporate Relations Officer, Tracy Ebbrell said: "We are delighted to be receiving such a large amount in sponsorship from Pipex px® in such a difficult economic climate. The relationship with Pipex px® has gone from strength to strength over the past few years. It really demonstrates how the business community is still committed to the environment and keeping Devon a beautiful and healthy place to do business." Sarah Raynor from Pipex px® said: "Devon Wildlife Trust do fantastic work for our environment here in the South West, so we are really pleased to be in a position to contribute to their conservation efforts.
