Sadly Jacquie is yet again overlooked on the front cover with not even a close-up shot but hopefully she will feature more in the album sleeve. I'm sure all fans will agree this is a wonderful release, especially for the fact that we will finally get all those amazing videos in DVD quality! <3

My Bananarama collection

Well hello!!! First post in a long time and it feels good to be back! Not a lot has been happening in Nanaworld lately but big things are coming so I thought I was time I checked in with you all again! Was going through my Bananarama collection the other day and thought I'd take some pics to share with you all:

 

 This has been compiled over the past 10 years and is by no means complete - god knows how much I have spent on it so far!!!

BIG Shakespears Sister update!!!

Sorry it's been very quiet here lately but basically there's been nothing new to share, LOL!

However, we've had a big dose of Shakespears Sister news this week as they have announced that their NEW single will be a cover of none other than the Bananarama classic 'Really Saying Something' (a digital-only release). Check out the cover:


Also, the long-awaited CD/DVD of the 2010 tour is finally coming soon and will be available to pre-order on the official website this weekend! Here is the cover:


More news as it comes... stay tuned!

Sharing the stage with Bananarama

Hello all, hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas! I had the most amazing moment of my life at the Nanas Clapham Grand gig last week - not only was I front row in the middle, I was also one of the lucky audience members who got selected to join the ladies onstage for 'Venus'! Check the video below:



Here are some pics of my lil' moment of fame too:






Thank you SO much to Sara and Keren for making my dreams come true! Happy Christmas to you both and all the best for 2011 xxx
