Grammy Awards 2017 – Key Looks
The Grammy Awards were dominated by two, very glamorous ladies last night, with Beyonce and Adele fighting it out for the biggest awards. The two ladies of song were also eagerly awaited on the red carpet too, although only Adele made an appearance. She was, however, joined by some of the most stylish ladies in music, making the red carpet event interesting to say the least, although, in the case of Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, this was for all the wrong reasons. There were some lovely looks though, with many of them giving us a sense of deja vu. The lovely Tori Kelly had me thinking of Madonna in…

From an early age I can remember ‘That’ll be the Day’ ringing out from my little record player, the graffiti emblazoned cover of ‘Buddy Holly Lives’ on my bedroom floor.

It seems this series, which looks at a female singer of a fab Christmas hit who also happens to be a bit of a style icon, is firmly entrenched in the 1980s, with previous entries including Kate Bush and Chrissie Hynde. Kim Wilde was one of the biggest, British female stars of the 1980s, with a career that stretched the whole decade. She was also a sex symbol and a bit of a style icon, with a style that stretched from sexy to tomboyish. Her entry in the Christmas hit parade came courtesy of a fun charity version…

9 to 5 at the Wolverhampton Grand – Great Fun
Dolly Parton made a surprise appearance at the Wolverhampton Grand last night, as a hologram introducing the musical theatre version of one of her most famous movies. The South Staffs Musical Theatre Company were in town, with the opening night of their fun filled version of ‘9 to 5’. And, despite the fact that one of the leading ladies was ill and had to be replaced at the very last minute, the company put on a fine show filled with songs, laughter and sisters doing it for themselves. ‘9 TO 5’ is set in 1979 and tells the tale of three suburban ladies, a clever and ambitious widow Violet (played…
