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 Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup.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

It seems like ages since I last posted some gig photos... I took a few days off from the live scene, needed a break.
Anyway, back at again now and I started with the incredible Aoife Scott in McAuley Place in Naas. For those not in the know, Aoifes mother is Frances Black, her aunt is Mary Black and her cousins are Danny from The Coronas and Rosin O from Thanks Brother. That's a talented family!
I'd not seen Aoife play before, but given the family connections I figured this would have to be a good night and I wasn't wrong. It was a fantastic night of music and I'm looking forward to catching Aoife play again in the Button Factory in January for the launch of her new album 'Homebird'.
Support on the night was from Muireann McDonnell, I'd not seen her live previously, but I knew plenty about her. She is certainly a talented singer and definitely one to watch for in the future!
