S Club 7 band members Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole, Rachel Stevens and Tina Barrett exploded on to the pop scene in 1999 with Bring It All Back, their debut single which topped charts around the world.

They followed up with Reach, Don’t Stop Movin’, Never Had A Dream Come True’ and of course S Club Party– storming charts and leading to global sales of more than ten million records.

The band’s celebrity status was also cemented with their own TV shows. Miami 7 and LA7 hit children’s TV with an audience of more than 90 million people in over 100 countries. While in America the S Club 7 TV shows went on to inspire a generation of TV hits such as High School Musical and Glee.

The band recently reformed for Children in Need to perform a medley of all their favourite tunes. After months of rumour and speculation S Club 7 have confirmed next year's Bring It All Back arena tour, their first in more than ten years including their return to the MetroRadio Arena, Newcastle, on Saturday May 9.
