I've been a Sugababes fan since I first heard Overload way back in 2000. It was, and still is, a pop classic. Over the years, I managed to catch them live a couple of times.

Did it matter much at the time to me? No, not at all, I was just their to party!

A great way to ring in 2019! Check out the photos below:
