The Girls Aloud Show has finally arrived in London, a delayed celebration of their 20th anniversary that is full of tributes to late band member Sarah Harding.
"As each member addressed the crowd, the word ‘nostalgia’ was constantly used. But these eccentric, electric, weird pop songs – crafted with production team Xenomania – still sounded like they’d been freshly beamed in from the future; a melting pot of Sixties girl-group harmonies, pop, new wave and kitsch – all filtered through 21st-century production and a rejection of boring, traditional pop clichés," a review by the Standard's Danny Wright said.
