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 Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup.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

My first gig of 2020 and it was a good one! I'd not seen Sara Ryan play in a year or two, so when she announced she was going to be playing in Kilcullen, I bought a ticket straight away.
I'm not quite sure how to describe Sara's sound... It's not folk, it's not jazz, it's not blues, but if you take a healthy dash of each and give it a good mix, you'll come close!
Sara's touring in support of her newly released album called 'Breath' and it's a cracker. Check it out! As for the gig, it was fantastic. Sara was backed by a full band and sounded incredible. If you get the chance to see her, head along, you'll not be disappointed.
Support on the night was from Cork musician Emmo. I'd not heard of him before, but he sounded good and, given the chance, I'd head along to see him again.
Lighting was a tad low on the night, though you probably wouldn't think it from the first photo, so it made conditions just a little difficult!
