July 11 is the date set for the Stock Aitken Waterman tribute concert in Hyde Park London. If only Australia could get a mega super concert like this one…I would most likely wet myself. Just playing these videos was enough for me to get the blood pumping! The show in London will sport some of the biggest names SAW have put on the musical map. Sinitta, Sonia, Rick Astley and Bananarama… but will we see Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan?
SAW truly made some of the best pop not only of the 1980s, but ever. Critics called them forumlaic, but so what? They produced not only Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, but Rick Astley, Divine, Bananarama, Dead or Alive, and even Donna Summer. (All but Kylie and Jason's duet were hits in America.) Love, love, love Sonia and Sinitta and Lonnie Gordon as well (all SAW products; I listen to them all on my iPod every time I go to the gym). Nobody knew how to do pop like SAW. I wish I could be in London on July 11th, but the Olympics and a jubilee for a certain old lady with too much money have driven the hotel and airfare prices up too bloody high in Old Blighty this summer.
