Media Watch

Any sensible SAW / Bananarama fan will already be aware of the greatest pop event in history.  Hit Factory Live takes place on July 11th 2012 in Hype Park, London.  There was a bit of a media frenzy a few weeks ago.  Pete Watermelon was understandably proud of SAW's achievements and he was accompanied by a newly reformed Steps and spooky/fabulous Pete Burns from Dead or Alive at a press call. 

Here is the bio:

Live Nation are excited to announce the Hit Factory Live, a once-in-a-lifetime spectacular taking place in London’s Hyde Park on 11 July 2012. For the first time ever, the classic artists from the PWL Hit Factory will perform together on one bill. This unmissable show celebrates the legendary Stock Aitken Waterman songwriting and production team, the phenomenal success of Pete Waterman’s PWL label and, above all, the irresistible pop that came to define an era in British music history. Once called ‘The Sound of a Bright Young Britain’, it undoubtedly now stands as the soundtrack to a generation, with sales of over 500 million units worldwide. Acts so far include: Steps, Jason Donovan, Bananarama, Rick Astley, Dead or Alive and many more!

I'm not sure why the Mirror website posted this photo, taken from the pre-SAW era, and with a caption that reads "Bananarama: sulking because they knew they could never have Rick Astley's jacket".  I despise journo's that don't know their Banana facts.  The real reason they were sulking is because Boy George had stolen Siobhan's ciggies.
