Concert Review: Sugababes

Image
The iconic British girl group’s songs have stood the test of time. It had taken Sugababes 25 years to get to the point of heading out on an arena tour. Author - Lucy W Judging by the dedication of their 02 audience, the iconic British girl group’s songs have stood the test of time. For the most part of this concert, it was a night (or 80 minutes) of wall-to-wall bangers.  It’s easy to forget just how many bangers they have in their arsenal but, whipping through ‘Overload’, ‘Hole in the Head’, ‘In The Middle’ and ‘Red Dress’ within the first 15 minutes made you remember how good they were.  READ MORE:  A closer look at London's best gig venues READ MORE:  Gig Review: The Bug Club READ MORE:  Gig Review: Jack White Returning to the end of the platform in their rave gear, ‘Round Round’ is served with a dance break and neon green strobes. ‘Freaks’ and ‘Push The Button’ come in quick succession and, before final song ‘About You Now’. These songs have groups of fr...

Another defeat for QPR as they remain 14th in the Championship First-half goals from Tommy Conway and Anfernee Dijksteel had put Boro in control. A late strike from Steve Cook ensured a nervy finish, with QPR pushing hard for an equaliser in stoppage time. Author - Lucy W The few hundred QPR fans that travelled up to Middlesbrough For Marti Cifuentes' QPR, who slip to 15th, this was a seventh defeat in nine, a worrying slump as they head into the season’s final stretch. The win lifts Michael Carrick’s side back to eighth, just three points behind Coventry in the final play-off spot.  Boro had endured a dire run earlier in the year, losing five in a row from late January into February, but looked to have turned a corner with back-to-back victories before their defeat at Swansea. That made Conway’s 11th-minute opener all the more significant, the striker turning in Finn Azaz’s low cross from the byline to spark a huge sigh of relief around the Riverside. Boro could have doub...

Another important win for Barnet as they bid to return to the English Football League  Lee Ndlovu struck deep into stoppage time to hand National League leaders Barnet a dramatic victory over Dagenham and Redbridge. Author - Lucy W The Bees notched their 25th league win of the campaign, extending their lead at the top to 12 points ahead of York's clash with third-placed Forest Green later on Saturday. Ndlovu’s decisive moment came in the third minute of added time, his low strike finally breaching the resistance of Dagenham goalkeeper Louis Jones, who had produced a string of fine saves throughout the match. About London Super News Jones had kept the visitors in contention with several outstanding stops, frustrating Barnet for much of the game. Callum Stead came close on multiple occasions, but the breakthrough remained elusive until Ndlovu's late intervention. The defeat was a cruel blow for Dagenham, who looked set to claim a valuable point in their fight against relega...
