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 Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup.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

My last gig of 2018 on the last night of 2018…
For a variety of reasons, I needed a break from my normal New Years Eve celebrations, so when a chance to go see Mik Pyro in Whelans with a friend arose, well, I jumped at it.
For those that don’t know, Mik Pyro was the front man of the brilliant Republic of Loose. Unfortunately, like many great Irish bands, the ‘Loose’ are no longer together, but that doesn’t stop Mik from playing some of their classics!
In between new material from Mik, we heard old Loose tracks like Comeback Girl, The Steady Song, Aaagh and a few others. As New Years Eve parties go, this one was hard to beat.
Anyway, it’s 2019 now, time to start planning some new gigs for this year!
