Exhibition Review: Get Ready To SPICEUP Your Life At This London Exhibition

In May 1996, a new British pop group burst onto the UK music scene with the video for their debut single, 'Wannabe'. Johan Camitz's iconic video was filmed at London's Grand Midland Hotel in St Pancras, and twenty two years on and millions of record sales later, a new exhibition down the road in Islington entitled SPICEUP is celebrating the Spice Girls' incredible history.

So while I've been recording my new podcast, watching Wimbledon, having barbecues in the rain and working, the Spice Girls decided to reunite! They're doing it for the music obviously. And by music, I mean money. But still, as long as it doesn't go as pear shaped as the All Saints reunion then I think it'll have been worth it. Hopefully no more of that sporty/scary/babyetc nonsense either, especially now Mel C actually looks nice. Whichever way things go, it's infinitely better than having them embark on solo records again! Greatest hits and world tour in December await.



Here's a Megamix of all the classics (and others, which I thankfully do not recognise) to let you relive their days of worldwide domination.
