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 Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup.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

I thought I was done with gigs for 2023, but events conspired to have me in Dublin tonight, so here I am, sitting in Sin É, waiting on the rather good Insubs to play.
I've seen Insubs once before, a few years back, so it's about time I got to see the live again. I've been following their socials, listening to their music and they've been getting better and better, so I was pretty sure I was in for a good show.
I wasn't disappointed! Whilst Sin É is not the largest venue going, it's size helps creat a great atmosphere and, when it's packed with plenty of Insubs fans (including me), it could only ever be a fun time.
So, would I recommend going to see them? I most certainly would. Will I be going to see them again, I most certainly will, but hopefully in a venue that doesn't use blue lights!
