Straight from the airport to the Royal Albert Hall I met up with Rache to attend the Women of Rock concert. The concert was being held in support of the annual PINKTOBER program to raise money for breast cancer research. This year’s recipient was the Caron Keating Foundation. With a giant cast of performers we were very surprised to find that the Hall wasn’t full at all. We were seated in the upper circle but usher came along to ask if we wanted to upgrade our seats. We decided to stick to our seats as we had the “front” row so wouldn’t have anyone in front of us to block the view.

Performers and presented tonight included Jamelia, Gloria Hunniford, Nerina Pallot, Zoe Lucker, Bananarama, Vanessa Phelps, N – Dubz, Lilia Kopolova, Escala, Kate Thornton, the Cast of Mamma Mia, Caprice, Joss Stone, Melinda Messenger, Carrie Ellis, Janet Ellis, Sharon Corr, Angela Rippon, Mel C, Hamish Dodd, and of course the legendary Bonnie Tyler.

It was a fantastic night. Great performances especially from Joss Stone (she performed with no shoes!) and Mel C. Bonnie Tyler was a bit rought at first but soon hit her stride. Escala were dramatic and Jamelia brought it – what a hot outfit, what nice legs!
