Girls Aloud - I'll stand by you...

I have been hoping and praying for this moment for quite some time now and have not felt this excited since Kylie announced her ‘Aphrodite’ world tour. Yes, the moment has finally come that....

GIRLS ALOUD ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER TOUR! WOOOOOO!

 Now I know my over-excitement may come across sarcastic in the form of a blog but I genuinely am looking forward to the big comeback of Girls Aloud. I remember a similar feeling when ‘Steps’ reformed last year. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that Kylie, Girls Aloud and Steps are not everyone’s cup of tea (nor are ‘Hear’Say’ but that didn’t stop me loving them too) but for me, these artists were such a big part of my youth and yes, I am proud to be a follower second time around too.

 


Kylie Minogue - Aphrodite Tour 2012

  

When I went to see ‘Steps’ at the Manchester Arena earlier this year with 2 of my work friends I was unsure if the atmosphere would be the same as all those years ago when my mum took me to the same venue to watch their show in 2000. We were pleasantly surprised, the show was great, the atmosphere was great and this time around we were all old enough to have an adult drink - bonus! After the concert whilst I was still in the ‘Steps are amazing’ mode I would listen to their greatest hits album in my car. Although belting out some of the best songs of the 90’s was great, it just wasn’t quite the same as seeing the real thing live in concert surrounded by thousands of other fans! There is nothing quite as good as a live concert.

 

 

Lytham Proms Festival Weekend 2012





In my job at Cuffe & Taylor Event Management I got to work on some fantastic events over the summer of 2012, one of which was the Lytham Proms Festival Weekend. ‘Here & Now – The very best of the 80s’ was held on the Friday night of the Proms which had artists such as, Rick Astley, Bananarama, Toyah, Belinda Carlisle to name a few. Many of these artists haven’t been around for a good few years but this event brought together the best of the 80s for one big party. The atmosphere on this evening was just as electric as the Sunday nights Olly Murs concert and I can only imagine this is due to the audience reliving their youth all over again just like I did not so long ago with ‘Steps’.

Lytham Proms Festival Weekend has since been nominated for Best Small Festival in the UK Festival Awards. Behind the scenes my fellow employee’s are working hard confirming artists for next summer’s events. I wonder what Lytham Proms 2013 will bring....
