NEXT WEEK ON CORRIE: DANIEL REALISES THE TRUTH AS ROB MALLARD TALKS ABOUT WHAT'S TO COME

Image
During next week's visit to Weatherfield, Coronation Street viewers will see Daniel Osborne realise that his fiancee, Daisy Midgeley had slept with Ryan Connor. I can sense an emotional week coming. Talking about how Daniel feels when he sees the video, Rob Mallard said: "He was really shocked at first. Even though he was suspicious before, and he was actually on to the truth, he allowed doubt to get in and thought he was potentially just being paranoid. So, to have that turned on a dime and actually have the proof right there in front of him, the first thing he experienced was shock and then blind rage." Since Daisy has been around, Bertie has seen her as a mother figure, Rob talks about whether Daniel will patch things up with Daisy for this reason:  "Yes, I think so but then at the same time, that's only a short term solution. In the short term, losing Daisy would be like losing another mother figure for Bertie which would be sad, but in the long term with Dai...

GIRLS ALOUD ANNOUNCE THE GIRLS ALOUD SHOW TOUR TO CELEBRATE 21 YEARS

Following last week's news of Girls Aloud's reunion in the month that marked 21 years since Kimberley, Cheryl, Nicola, Nadine and Sarah were formed on Popstars: The Rivals.  One show I absolutely loved watching and one of my favourite talent show discoveries. To celebrate this milestone with all of their fans, Girls Aloud have announced they will be coming together for a huge UK and Ireland arena tour in May and June, 2024.   It's going to be a sad one without Sarah, but I have no doubt that the band will do her proud. I am know I am not the only alouder who is extremely thrilled by this news and who's working out how to get hold of these tickets. The hugely anticipated shows will feature the band's historic pop hits including Number 1 songs, Sound Of The Underground, The Promise and I'll Stand By You, alongside classics such as Love Machine, Call The Shots, Biology, Something New and The Show.  All of their songs in my opinion are classics! Speaking of the reun...

NEIGHBOURS FLASHBACK REVIEW

During this week's Flashback Episodes, viewers have been taken on a journey to the truth of 2 years ago. The attention to detail within this whole week of episodes has been amazing to watch especially as they looked back to the original series during the flashbacks - the way that they brought up Mel Pearson and Toadie Rebecchi's marriage, Holly Hoyland returning to Erinsborough, and how Krista Sinclair bought her sister, Reece into the current series - as well as bringing back Nicolette Stone, Aaron Brennan, David Tanaka, Elly Conway, Chloe Brennan, Bea Neilson, Amy Greenwood, Yashvi Rebecchi, Mal Kennedy, Callum Rebecchi and Imogen Willis. The week featured 4 special flashbacks episodes making for some excellent viewing as different characters told their parts. It was interesting to discover the real reason why Melanie ran away (she was the Sinclair's housekeeper) linking to Reece Sinclair searching for her sister which was a twist I wasn't expecting - the more the sto...

CHRISTMAS SINGLE REVIEW - ALANA SPRINGTEEN - CHRISTMAS COMES IN WAVES

Image
Columbia Records NY/ Sony Music Nashville artist-songwriter,  Alana Springsteen  last Friday (10th November) released her Christmas single, Christmas Comes in Waves. Christmas Comes in Waves was written by Alana alongside Trannie Anderson and Dallas Wilson. Photo Credit: Lily Nelson Christmas Comes in Waves begins with Alana's crisp tone which allow for the heartfelt lyrics to shine through right from the start. The one thing, I love and continued to enjoy was all the little moments of happiness that are bought with Christmas and spending time with our loved ones enjoying Christmas in our own little way. The chorus has many emotional moments that lead into the verses brilliantly with the chorus being extremely catchy. There is something special about the uniqueness of the song that allows for the listeners to have their own take on the songs lyrics/ journey - reminds me of a warm Christmas holiday.  The second verse talks about that cold Christmas holiday that some people...

SINGLE REVIEW - KAYLEE BELL - GOOD THINGS

Image
Following on from her CMA win on Wednesday evening (8th November), New Zealand born singer-songwriter,  Kaylee Bell  is releasing her brand new single, Good Things today (Friday 10th November). Photo taken by Me at C2C 2019 Good Things begins with a upbeat pop country feel the perfect blend. The verses see Kaylee's crisp tone with the song having this perfect road trip kind of vibe with lyrics that make you want to sing along to despite not knowing the lyrics 100% (or is that just me?) Good Things is a song about never giving up on your dreams and how moving away from your loved ones can be so hard especially if it's long distance making for some emotive moments. The lyrics speak volumes due to the inspiring songwriting from Kaylee. However, for me the chorus is filled with such honesty and emotion that I caught myself getting rather emotional over the songs lyrics when it talks about never giving up on our dreams as for me and many people these kind of lyrics within...

Following on from her successful performance as part of the Song Suffragette's line up at Bush Hall on Saturday 21st October, I caught up with the brilliant  Harper Grace . Harper Grace is a new artist to myself, and I really enjoyed getting to know her and talk about her latest single with her during her first trip to the UK. When asked about what's it's like being in the UK for the first time and performing here, she said   "I'm Excited." When asked about how the opportunity came about, she said:   "In Nashville, we have this place called the listening room and the audience there is very attentive and listening, but the Song Suffragettes has a round there and I was very excited to meet the team there. And then they expressed the opportunity to come to London with a yes!" When asked about her latest single,  Down in my Hometown:  "I've been telling people it's my establishing I love Nashville song, growing up in my hometown of Texas it ...

AN INTERVIEW WITH BROOKE EDEN FOLLOWING HER TIME IN THE UK

Image
Following on from her successful performance as part of the Song Suffragette's line up at Bush Hall on Saturday 21st October, I caught up with American singer-songwriter,  Brooke Eden . Talking of the Song Suffragette show, Brooke said:  "I'm excited to be back in London and sharing some new music. And honestly getting to be back into the UK, and have the experience of the British fans is exciting." When asked about returning to the UK after 7 years (last performed at C2C 2016), Brooke said:  "A lot has happened since that, and a lot of new music - I've recorded a lot of new music, I wish it wasn't 7 years but it won't be another 7 years!" You released her latest EP, Outlaw Love back in June can fans expect to hear any of those songs during your set?   "The project is about standing up for who you are, and what you believe in and who you love realising that, that can make you some kind of outlaw and kinda owning that!" The first time I ...
