The songs that I recognised were mainly at the middle to end, though everyone seemed to know most of the other songs. I was not a big fan back in the day and only remember the upbeat songs that were hits to be honest.

Yes they did and we (me and akh43) can now do all the dance moves to prove it. It was a brilliant night out o/
Sorry akh43 I didn't realise I hadn't said you were my plus 1, I just assumed that everyone would know (no idea how :roll: ).

I wasnt sure which one Donnie was at first, more I knew which one he wasnt. I was not a big fan of them I think I was too old when they were big as they were more of a teen band. I do think they have improved looks wise now and are more handsome now than pretty boys, hard to believe how old they now are, makes me feel really old.

We had really good seats right at the front and on row b so low down and had a really good view of everything and they came down into the audience at were almost at touching distance from where we sat.

Im sure anyone who goes at the weekend will really enjoy, especially if they are fans of them.

lol I cant think of a more unlikely band to hit the big time. Some of the boys in it back then were suprisingly ugly, nevermind the music. Maybe that was the appeal.

Isnt there one song that goes 'Uh Uh oh oh oh'. My sister used to sing it in a mocking kind of way.
