LIVE AT THE CORRAN: SISTER SLEDGE / THE REAL THING The Corran Hotel, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Sat 30 Aug Tickets: £42.50/£275 VIP. Info: www.liveatthecorran.com Disco and soul icons Sister Sledge and The Real Thing are coming to the Welsh countryside. At the end of the month they will both be performing at The Corran, a luxurious resort in the picturesque valleys of Carmarthenshire. This concert follows the rousing success of their last live event, where over 800 people enjoyed the jazzy stylings of Curtis Stigers. The venue’s size allows a more intimate location for such huge acts, and is surrounded by idyllic views of marshland and the sea. Pennsylvania natives Sister Sledge, who everyone will recognise from their number one hit We Are Family, will top the bill at the Corran’s second live event. This will be their only gig in Wales on this tour, so if you are Sister Sledge fan, make sure not to miss it. From slightly more nearby, The Real Thing will be sharing the stage with Sister Sledge. The Merseyside band took the UK charts by storm in the mid-70s, You To Me Are Everything reaching number one in 1976; hits including Can You Feel The Force and You’ll Never Know What You’re Missing followed. Remixes of You To Me... and others revived the band’s popularity in the 80s, and they remain a popular draw on the touring circuit. When they grace the same stage as Sister Sledge on Sat 30, expect the night to be as unforgettable as the songs both groups have belted out down the years. contents pg 54 pg 56 pg 58 pg 67 pg 72 art clubs events live stage BUZZ 53
