We'll be able to see footage from the concert on the show on March 27th. http://www.tv3.ie/entertainment_article.php?locID=1.803.813&article=127110 5th Story perform for first time at Big Reunion gig5th Story performed for the very first time at 'The Big Reunion' concert last night (21.02.14). The newly-formed super-group roused fans at London's Hammersmith Apollo with a set comprised of songs made famous by each of the band members, including Another Level's Dane Bowers, Blazin' Squad's Kenzie, Gareth Gates, Kavana and Adam Rickitt. The group's set list featured Another Level's 'Freak Me', Blazin' Squad's 'Flip Reverse', Adam's 'I Breathe Again', Kavana's 'I Can Make You Feel Good' and finally, closing the show, Gareth's number one hit 'Spirit in the Sky'. Speaking to BANG Showbiz after the concert, Dane revealed it was ''difficult'' to gauge which songs fans would want to hear from the various band members' back catalogues but knew 'Freak Me' - which was a number one single for Another Level - had to be included. Reformed 1990s soul group Eternal surprised fans by introducing Bebe Winans onstage to sing their own number one hit, 'I Wanna Be the Only One', while former teen heartthrobs A1 entertained the crowd with songs such as 'Take On Me' and 'Caught in the Middle'. US band 3T paid an emotional tribute to their late uncle Michael Jackson by singing 'Why', their collaboration with the King of Pop, as family photos appeared on screens behind them. Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton was among the celebrity names at the gig to support her fiancé Jade Jones and his band Damage, who serenaded the crowd with songs such as 'Wonderful Tonight'. The gig also marked the culmination of a painful reunion for short-lived girl band Girl Thing, who were created by Simon Cowell but were unceremoniously dropped by their record label after two songs. The group performed their top 10 charting song 'Last One Standing', a cover of Katy Perry's 'Roar', and for the first time they performed 'Pure and Simple' - the song which has been a source of contention on the second series of 'The Big Reunion'. Girl Thing claim they wrote parts of the track, which was eventually released by 'Popstars' winners Hear'Say and topped the charts in 2001. The Hammersmith gig was attended by stars of 'The Big Reunion' 2013 including 911 and Atomic Kitten's Liz McClarnon, as well as Kenzie's pal Mark Wright, Keith Lemon, Mutya Buena and Laura Mvula. The concert will air on ITV2's 'The Big Reunion' on March 27.

Another message from Linda. So far they've sung Dane's and Kavana's songs. She said the place is buzzing, but very loud and they all look good.

Thanks Inge. Not very good quality sound, but you can hear Gareth's voice above the others.

Just received a message from Linda who is at the show tonight. Hopefully she'll keep me updated.

Do you think so Heather. It says `fan page' in their bio. I felt the same Jill. Gareth is so brave to put himself through what will obviously be a lot more gossiping again. He's tried to hard for the last 10 years to get past it. Lets hope the program last night will help him to do it eventually. I too don't think I will ever forgive her for what she did to him.

That's great news re the ratings for last night. I think that twitter page is a fan page for Louis Walsh isn't it, not actually him.

Another nice blog from Gareth in The Metro http://metro.co.uk/2014/02/20/gareth-gates-on-the-big-reunion-2-reliving-katie-price-sex-drama-was-hard-4312462/ Gareth Gates talks about 5th Story’s first episode (Picture: ITV) I was really proud watching our episode tonight – we’ve all been through such different things, but at some point been chewed up and spat out by the industry while doing the job that we love. For me personally it was hard sitting down with my family going through the old stories about a certain woman….! I didn’t do it back then until I just had to tell the truth. Reliving it over a decade later was hard. I guess I hadn’t thought about the effect it had on them. My sisters were at school – although they are pretty good at taking care of themselves! It must have been hard for my parents – and my mum in particular, as no one wants to read stuff like that about their son. I’ve been lucky though – I’ve worked hard and I still do. People think you disappear if you aren’t in the charts, but I’ve never stopped working. I’ve had one day off in the last four months – Christmas Day. I’m not complaining – all five of us do what we have to do to look after our families. Our kids, our parents, partners…and no one should be ashamed of that. EXCLUSIVE BLOG: Gareth Gates – People think I’m cured, but I’m not When we had our first ‘bonding’ night out, although it’s great to hear other peoples’ stories, it’s also really hard. Kav in particular has had a really hard time of late. People don’t know that – they judge. He’s just doing whatever he can do to get by doing the thing he loves – singing. Well, this is just the start anyway – you haven’t even seen us do much singing yet! Today we’ve all been rehearsing for the Hammersmith show tomorrow and in the morning I think we have to leave the hotel at 8am or something hideous like that! It’s a big day tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the other bands too – hope you all enjoy it!

I don't ever remember Kavana back in his day. The only experience I had of seeing him was when he was on The Voice and I thought he came across as desperate and uppity on there. Seeing him last night I was surprised. Still think he was a bit childish over the Adam Rickitt thing, but I suppose he was young just as Gareth was back when he had his difficulties. Changed my opinion of him now. I really hope they all get a lot of success from being in this show.

Really enjoyed the show tonight. They all came over really good. Even changed my opinion of Kavana a bit. Gareth was very honest about everything that's happened in his life.
