Sugababes

noreply@blogger.com (John Barker Corporate Entertainment Consultants) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:51:00 +0000

The original three Sugababes have reportedly got together to record some new tracks. Although the current Sugababes line up (they have changed many times over the years) are "not concentrating on music at the moment!" The original three girls will probably not be allowed to use the name Sugababes - so it looks like confusion ahead. The name "Sugababes" still remains a favourite for some event planners, so we will keep you informed.
