I think Herbie wrote quite a few songs on the first Five album, particularly the rap-heavy ones like Everybody Get Up. He felt a bit like the sixth member of the band at times

There was an Irish girl band called Chill, that I think were on the Smash Hits tour in 1997. They didn't release anything though. Not sure if you'd count that

I really hope that out of all this mess, we maybe get a few new songs, and possibly a few love performances! They would be really good at Mighty Hoopla

Being fair to the girls, it seems as if Mariama wasn't there for the vast majority of the album recording, and only rejoined after the album was done? Makes sense she wouldn't be in the pictures

Both written by the same guys, Richard Stannard and Julian Gallagher!

I'd be very surprised if they each did a solo, but I could picture a solo Abs song making it in there maybe. I don't know if they will do any of the songs from the trio album. I'd like it if they did though. It is a part of their history after all. Maybe Abz could do a solo song, then Sean...

I always got the impression that when Mariama joined the Honeyz, Solid Harmonie were kind of over anyway... Just from a UK and Ireland perspective they didn't really make a big dent in the charts. Maybe they were bigger in some European countries it seems, like maybe the Netherlands? Back in...

This is such a weird situation, I was actually pretty excited when we got wind on this page of Beki, Mellissa & Elisa reuniting. I suspected they might be supporting Five, and hoped I'd get a chance to see them live. They have some genuine Max Martin belters! Then in the same week, Mariama...

Is that possibly an international version of the Greatest Hits album? I think the one released in UK and Ireland didn't have anything new on it at all. The most vanilla version they could have done. When I Remember When was a B-side to If Ya Getting Down I think? Maybe in some territories it...

Does Mariama not sing on the album because she left the group, was replaced, and by the time she had returned, they'd already recorded the album without her?

OTV did have a follow up single, Shakespeare's (Way With) Words, got to number 10 I think? I suppose Phixx got more singles out in the long run, and an album

Their first single was Working My Way Back To You, but it was only released in Ireland. I think the only release the track saw in the UK was with a free tape given away with one of the pop mags, Top Of the Pops possibly. None of the band are very fond of the song or video. Even as early as...

Peter M Smith, the Irish member, is playing Phil Lynott in an upcoming touring show about his life... He seems fairly active on Facebook so I imagine you could possibly message him there?

I remember in a Top of the Pops Magazine interview back in the day, he said he was pleased that both Angels and Never Ever stuck around in the chart for so long - and that Angels went higher than Never Ever for one week only!

This whole sorry incident was referenced in the lyrics of "Girl You Know It's True" by Keith and Shane

I wonder how many songs did the original line u record in 2007? I seem to recall a song called Wild being discussed. We may actually have three unreleased East 17 albums now - The 2007 one with the original line up Universalization in 2009 (roughly) by John, Terry and Brian. I remember them...

Jane also wrote quite a few songs for some other artists, including Flip Reverse by Blazin' Squad! I'm fairly sure Gary Barlow mentions Lie To Me being planned as the third single from his second album in his book, though it's been a few years since I've read it. He is definitely fond of it...

While I'm happy that a true classic pop song like Last Christmas is number one again, does it maybe stop new bands getting the Xmas top spot? Is this going to happen every year now?

Me too. I don't know any of their songs, but I love how Mighty Hoopla gives pop groups who didn't quite make it another chance to shine again

And Daphne and Celeste also, they are 90s as well!
