Burrell does Spring Fling

Razorlight man steps into headline slot

10 April 2008 - Razorlight frontman Johnny Burrell is stepping into the headlining hole at tonights Spring Fling event in East London.

Pete Doherty was due to top the bill and play a solo show at the bash, but was jailed earlier this week for breaching his probation order.

West London Magistrates Court sentenced the Babyshambles man to prison on Tuesday for "breach of time-keeping, non-compliance of his order and using different drugs".

Soko and Holly Golightly are still on the bill - with Holly's set, rather randomly, featuring 5 dancing sheep.

And she told 6 Music she was quite delighted when festival organisers suggested that particular idea:

"Well I have worked with sheep quite a lot in the past and I like them as people, so it will be quite nice to have a dance troop. It sounds like a great idea, I can't think of anything better than dancing sheep really."
