The Hot Press Newsdesk, 10 Jun 2003

The Pretenders, Girls Aloud and Denise Hagan are the special guests on July 5 when country superstar Shania Twain descends on Kilkenny's Nowlan Park.

While the first two acts need no introduction, you might be interested to learn that Ms. Hagan hails from Armagh, was raised on a healthy diet of Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and Eddi Reader and is about to release her The Tangerine Dream album.

Tickets for the show are still available priced €59.50 and €65.

Not content with storming straight into the UK album chart at number one – they’re number seven here – Girls Aloud bring their Out Of Control tour to Belfast and Dublin.

Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle talks about her Derry childhood, drug use in the pop industry and explains why she gets irritated when the band are called “British”.

2008-01-29 - Interview

Derry-born Nadine Coyle is very proud of her Irish roots – so much so that she insisted on an Irish flag being included on the cover of a Girls Aloud album.

The fiesty fivesome have announced a new date for Belfast's Odyssey Arena in May.

2007-11-27 - News

Everyone's favourite guilty pleasure, Girls Aloud, are to start their 2008 UK arena tour in Belfast.

This song has a nasty whiff of autopilot about it. All the hallmarks of a great Girls Aloud record – turbo-charged guitars, tag-team vocals brimming with attitude, a stomping disco backbeat – are here, yet something is missing. It could be the absence of any effective melodic hook to speak of: the Girls did not get where they are on style alone, and the substance of their previous work is in disappointingly short supply here.

As another bunch of hapless X Factor wannabes battle it out for the privilege of overnight obscurity, what better time for the clicking and clicking of 10 high heels to come marching over the horizon: a reminder that not all reality show graduates are abject failures – just most of them. It isn’t a GA “original” but it may as well be. Cranked up to the max by Xenomania, this is further proof that they are the finest pop group since the Spice Girls.

The ten-legged hit machine that’s Girls Aloud is Ireland-bound next year.

2006-11-27 - News

Can there be anyone out there more tuned into the pop zeitgeist at the moment than this lot? With single after single proving the case, the serious critics are now falling in line as well and See The Day is more of the same. It pulls that old stunt of covering a forgotten ‘80s song (‘Dee C. Lee’ in case you were racking your brains) and turning it into a modern, state of the art tune. Tut all you want purists, but you really can’t beat Girls Aloud, so you may as well join them.

Following on from their Childline concert at the weekend, Girls Aloud have announced a summer date at the Olympia Theatre

2005-02-02 - News

There are cooler, more credible pop records out there (The 411’s fantastic debut for one) but Girls Aloud look to be sitting pretty for the next while at least.

2005-01-25 - REVIEW

Their fifth single sees them still coming up trumps with their choice of producers, and with some sex-sized synth hooks and lyrics about hanging around the kitchen in their underwear is bound to be another huge hit.

2004-06-28 - REVIEW

Nadine Coyle of Julie Burchill's favourite group Girls Aloud reflects on life in the celebrity fast lane.

2003-08-20 - Interview

Whilst Girls Aloud’s debut album, Sound Of The Underground, is a reasonably diverting slice of mainstream pop, it’s about as substantial as tissue-paper and twice as expendable.
