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 Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup.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!

Wow… Half way through December already. The year is nearly over and last night was my last gig of the year. Well… It’s the last planned gig of the year, but you never know what can happen!

I’d heard plenty about The Finns, heard their music online, but hadn’t managed to see them live, so when I was told about the gig, sure I just had to head along! It also happened to coincide with my birthday celebrations, so it sure made for an interesting and fun night!
We got a full run through of the album plus a few covers thrown in for good measure! Stand out tracks on the night, for me at least, were:
I mentioned my birthday above, so at the end of the night, I had the surreal experience of having the band and the audience sing Happy Birthday to me… I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy that!!
So yeah, that’s it, you can buy the album on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Music and of course in physical form from their website.
