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. The first time I caught Sugababes live was way back at Creamfields 2002. Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup. Did it matter much at the time to me? No, not at all, I was just their to party! As a side note, post Sugababes, Siobhan went on to release two solo albums, Revolution in Me in 2003 and Ghosts in 2007. The next time I saw them was at Oxegen 2008, and by then Mutya had left the band and was replaced by Amelle, leaving Keisha as the only remaining original member. It was a tad strange seeing the band with only one remaining member, but again, it was a festival and all we were looking for was a good time, which we definitely got!

Jerry Fish has been involved in my musical life since I was a teenager...
An Emotional Fish were one of the greatest Irish bands never to make it on the world wide stage. They threatened a few times with a few songs in top 20 of the US Modern Rock Charts back in the early 90s, but it never quite happened for them. It was most unfortunate, as they were a force to be reckoned with live.
After they parted, a few years later, Jerry came back with Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club and had great success in Ireland with them. Like an Emotional Fish, they too were an incredible live band and I got to see them perform on may occasions.
Jerry is currently touring with his 'The Songs and Tall Tales of Jerry Fish' show and I caught this week in the Newbridge Arts Centre. As always, Jerry puts on an incredible live show. It was a magnificent night that included songs spanning his whole career and I'll cherish the memory of slow dancing on stage with Jerry for ever!
If you get the chance, go see him, you'll not be disappointed.
