Sexy Saturdays’ special garrison gig for soldiers

CHART-TOPPING girlband the Saturdays are performing a fundraising gig in Colchester for families of soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

The Saturdays, who have had a series of Top Ten singles since forming three years ago, will be playing for families of 16 Air Assault Brigade at Colchester Garrison.

The five girls are helping launch the 2010 Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, which this year is aiming to provide help and support to the “Afghan generation” of the Armed Forces and their families.

The concert will include a parachute display from the legion’s extreme human flight team, Jump4Heroes.

They will land next to the site where a new personnel recovery centre for soldiers will be built in the town.

The concert, for the families of 16 Air Assault Brigade on operations in Afghanistan, will also feature video messages from personnel stationed in Afghanistan for the families of those watching.

The private concert will take place at 10.30am on October 28 at the physical training and recreation centre at Colchester Garrison.

The Royal British Legion has committed £25million to the Personnel Recovery Centres.

Second Rhyl Pavilion date for girl band

GIRL band The Saturdays have added a second Rhyl date to their tour.

The first gig sold out so fast that another concert – on February 2 – has been added.

Fans queued overnight for the chance to snap up tickets.

It follows the success of ticket sales for X Factor winner and Dancing on Ice star Alexandra Burke, who also added on an extra date at Rhyl.

The Saturdays’ tour is called Headlines, after their chart-topping album.

Tickets go on sale for the Rhyl date this Friday.

Singer Rochelle said: “We couldn’t be more excited for the tour. Performing live is our favourite part of being in The Saturdays, and we can’t wait to see all our fans!”

The extra date was welcomed by the Pavilion, said a spokesman. He added: “This is also great news for Rhyl, two nights for Alexandra Burke and now two nights for The Saturdays in the space of a couple of weeks.”

Tickets on sale on Friday from 10am on 01745 330000 or in person.

Frankie Sandford planning LA move

The Saturdays star Frankie Sandford thinks she will live in Los Angeles one day.

Frankie Sandford wants to move to Los Angeles.

The Saturdays singer travelled to the Californian city with her bandmates – Una Healy, Rochelle Wiseman, Mollie King and Vanessa White – to shoot their new video ‘Higher’ and fell in love with the way of life in the coastal city.

She explained: ‘I love Los Angeles – that’s one of my favourite places to go. I’ve never been there for a proper holiday, but I’ve always thought that one day I’d like to live there.

‘The shopping is amazing, there are great cities nearby, and I just really like the feel of the place.’

And Frankie – who is currently dating McFly singer Dougie Poynter – may not be the only Saturdays star to head Stateside in the future, as Mollie has also revealed she is a big fan of New York.

She said: ‘I went to New York a few months ago with my boyfriend. I love cities and I love shopping, it’s just so inspiring out there. I really love it, especially Times Square.’
