WORTH A LOOK?: ****1/2

One of the saddest stories of the year was the death of former S Club 7 member Paul Cattermole by natural causes aged just 46 shortly after his band announced a 15-date UK tour reunion this autumn.

• Read on for reasons including where to see S Club on their Good Times tour

S Club 7 debuted in 1999 and had number 1 singles including Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, Don’t Stop Movin’ and Have You Ever.

Cattermole quit S Club 7 in 2002 to rejoin his school metal band Skua although they failed to secure a record deal. The band was renamed S Club but split a year later. They reunited in 2015 for the Bring It All Back tour which included 2 nights at the 02 in London.

Hannah Spearritt who was previously in a relationship with Cattermole is not rejoining the band for the latest tour which includes 3 gigs at London’s The 02.

These Are The Days was penned by the team originally behind the band including Cathy Dennis and is an impish, Monkees-like pure pop number that reminds of the band’s brilliant past but also serves as a beautiful way to remember Cattermole.

The video too is a particularly good tribute to the band’s dearly departed former member and we look forward to the upcoming Good Times tour being just that.
