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 Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup.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

Tonight he was joined by Elaine Mai on keys and other electronic wizardry. He also had a drummer, whose name escapes me. Vocals on the night came from Sinead White, Ailbhe Reddy and Tandem Felix. It was one hell of a party!
