No Direction Home, a new festival from the team behind the End of the Road Festival, makes its first outing from 8 ' 10 June 2012 at Welbeck Abbey in the northern reaches of Sherwood Forest. It is the first time that this historic and beautiful setting, first mentioned as far back as the Domesday Book, will play host to a festival. A main stage is to be built by a lake with views of the ancient abbey and there will be music, merriment and new twists on everything you'd expect from the End of the Road team including a carefully crafted programme of film, literature, workshops and comedy.

The festival has also just launched a call for beautiful and/or intriguing art installations to be scattered throughout the historic site for the duration of the festival. Artists have until 20 February to submit their ideas (more info here http://nodirectionhomefestival.com/information/installations).

Richard Marx has stories to tell in more ways than one.

The veteran hit maker recently sat down to share memories about his number 1 hits "Hold On To The Nights," "Right Here Waiting," and "Satisfied" as part of a new video series from Billboard to celebrate reaching 1,000 No. 1 songs on its Hot 100 chart. "I just write songs that I'm proud of, that I like, that I want people to hear," explains Marx, "I've never had the experience of either phoning it in or thinking, 'Ooh I've got a smash here.'"

Marx, who has also written hit songs for Keith Urban, N'Sync, and Luther Vandross among others, will further celebrate his legendary career with his upcoming solo release, Stories to Tell, a collection of his greatest hits, acoustic versions, and live tracks that will also include a DVD of Marx's recent performance at the famed Shepherd's Bush Empire in London. The deluxe album, currently available exclusively at Walmart and Richard Marx's online store, will get a wide release on February 7th.
