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.

Did it matter much at the time to me? No, not at all, I was just their to party!

Support on the night was from Gemma Cox, a new name to me, even though we both live in the same town! We're sure to hear a lot more about her though, stunning voice and some great songs.
