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 Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup.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

The first Skylarks Music Club event was such a success, they decided to do it all again! There was an all new line-up for Skylarks 2, headlined, this time, by the amazing Niamh Farrell of Ham Sandwich fame.
So, on with the show. First up on the night was local singer, Amy Dillon. What a wonderful voice she has, married with some beautiful songs.
Next up on the night was Rhob Cunningham. Now, I’d never heard of Rhob before, but I definitely want to catch him live again. Great stage presence, fantastic songs and a wicked sense of humour!
OK, I’ll be honest here… I heard the words Guitar Virtuoso and my eyes glazed over… I fully expected some classical guitar set, but boy was I wrong when Shane Hennessy started playing! Absolutely incredible playing, just phenomenal!
Finally it was time for the headliner on the night, the wonderfully talented Niamh Farrell of Ham Sandwich. Niamhs set was a tribute to Karen Carpenter and it was just beautiful to hear the audience sing along to the songs.
And that was it, a beautiful end to a beautiful night. Roll on Skylarks 3!!!
