August 30, 20177 yr I had 'The Waiting Game' on again on a train ride to Wales recently. It really is a strong album, and she sounds completely at home on it, with her vocal and the production on it. Obviously it's not to everyone's taste, but I'm a sucker for an acoustic guitar and a bit of a folksy/country feel (blame it on a part Irish childhood bought up on Mary Black and The Corrs) so it's one of my albums of the year so far.

Yassss for more Una love! :cheer: Which tracks were your favourite?
August 30, 20177 yr Yassss for more Una love! :cheer: Which tracks were your favourite? Oooh. Well I was actually at her launch gig she did at St Pancras back at the start of the year so my favourites are tied in with that gig (although not exclusively). I love 'Battlelines', 'Out the Door', 'Craving You', 'S.O.S', 'Alarm Bells' and 'Staring at the Moon'.
September 3, 20177 yr Oooh. Well I was actually at her launch gig she did at St Pancras back at the start of the year so my favourites are tied in with that gig (although not exclusively).

September 3, 20177 yr Una discusses her role in the Foden family with Ben being the "cool" parent apparently! :lol: Source: http://www.celebsnow.co.uk/celebrity-news/...cool-one-694762 Singer Una Healy, 35, has two children with husband Ben Foden; daughter Aoife, five, and son Tadgh, two. Now caught up with her to talk about family life and ‘me’ time… Hey Una! What would you say you’re like as a mum? Well at the moment my husband Ben is the cool one because he’s the one who lifts them up and throws them in the air, stuff that I cant physically do. My kids normally sleep through the night now but the other night Tadgh had a nightmare and normally it’s a case of, ‘who’s going to get up?’ but he shouted ‘Mummy!’ so I was delighted then! The Saturdays’ Una Healy: Aoife Belle might wear my wedding dress one day! (Now laughs). Do you have any tips for making sure your kids sleep through the night? I think we shock people when we don’t have them in bed by 7pm but they have so much energy. We start preparing to put them to bed between half eight and nine and have stories around 9pm. But, they sleep through and rarely wake up before 8am. That’s great! Are there any favourite bed time books? Tadhg is still a bit young for the stories but I’ve started reading Aoife the Rold Dahl collection. She’s still a bit young for them though. I started reading The Witches to her but she was getting scared so I had to stop. We read James And The Giant Peach last week and she really liked that one. Is Tadgh showing signs of the terrible twos? Well, he was looking a bit like a plumber as he kept getting the toilet brush out so we had to put it in a special high up, locked place. We’re happy he’s grown out of that! Is Aoife ever naughty? No, she hates to feel that she’s ever hurt or upset anyone. She’s very caring and will always apologise straight away if she’s done anything. She’ll go through my makeup and destroy the place and I get a bit angry at her and she says, ‘Are you gonna be really angry with me?’ and she just apologises. Naw!! Do Aoife and Tadgh play well together? They’re getting closer now that Tadgh’s starting to talk properly. Aoife loves being a big sister and looking after him but she loves running in and saying, ‘Mummy Tadhg’s doing this!’ She’s a little tell-tale sometimes but she watches out for him as well. Do you have an essential parenting product? Nivea roll-on suncream for kids. I use it on Aoife because she can roll it on herself. It helps them feel like they’re a part of it all and they’re applying it. You can have it in your handbag- it’s the size of a little roll on deodorant. Do you get much ‘me’ time? Tadhg goes to nursery three days a week and Aoife is at school five days a week, so whenever I have a free day I go to the gym and then I’ll go for a swim and have a sauna and steam room. I find it nice not talk to anyone. I’m anti social in the gym.

September 5, 20177 yr Una has posted a photo on Instagram with a countdown of 3 days... Is this something we already know about?
September 5, 20177 yr Probably an extension of The Waiting Game album I'd guess. She has been writing though so who knows..
September 17, 20177 yr Una Healy reveals why she won't do Strictly Come Dancing like bandmates Mollie King and Frankie Bridge: Bandmate Mollie King will compete in the latest series http://i1.irishmirror.ie/incoming/article9641246.ece/ALTERNATES/s810/I170117_194704_3399381oTextTRMRMMGLPICT000109379257o.jpg The Saturdays singer Una Healy has revealed she won't be swapping her guitar for glittery frocks by signing up to BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. Bandmate Mollie King will compete in the latest series and Frankie Bridges was a runner-up on the BBC show in 2014. But Tipperary Beauty Una has admitted that dancing is not her strong suit and she prefers to concentrate on singing. She told the Irish Sun: “I don’t think I would ever do it. Dancing was never my strong point. I enjoyed learning the routines but it is not for me. “Frankie nearly won it when she was on it, and Rochelle did some charity versions of it, so it’s really just myself and Vanessa who haven’t done Strictly or the dancing, but I don’t think I would. "But never say never, that’s what I say. But it is definitely not on the cards.” Una, 35, has her sights set on solo stardom and revealed she had been working on her own material before the group went on hiatus in 2015. The mum-of-two said: “I have been writing for about three years now. I had a feeling the Saturdays was starting to wind down so I started working on my stuff in case. So I had songs that were ready to go when the band was still going.” However, she hasn't ruled out reuniting with the group in future. Una said: “I reckon we will get back together in the future, when the nostalgia kicks in. “I’d love it anyway, I’d hope the others would be the same. “But it is a taboo subject whenever we meet up, we never ask each other about it. We ask about how we are now but don’t look back. “But when the time is right I think it will happen. It still feels quite new and we are all doing our own thing.” Source: http://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/irish-sh...rictly-11082980
September 17, 20177 yr omg she would be the joke act that somehow kept progressing I don't think she is well known enough or liked enough by the general public at large to progress as a joke act. If you showed a photo of her to people on the street, people wouldn't know who she was.
September 25, 20177 yr She would ramble herself straight into the finals. “Una, it’s time to leave now. You’ve been voted off” Una: “but first I’m going to show you how to make my Irish bread”. 😂
September 25, 20177 yr BRYAN! :rofl: I miss her in the group interviews - it's great seeing her go solo with the country music but she was so the mum of the group!
October 10, 20177 yr Our favourite Irish country music queen turns 36 today!!!! :o According to Ben’s Instagram, Aoife Belle thinks she’s 22! :lol:
October 11, 20177 yr “Una, it’s time to leave now. You’ve been voted off” Una: “but first I’m going to show you how to make my Irish bread”. 😂 Dead. I can see her cheekily smiling and saying "you won't boot me off that easy" followed by a giggle and a 5 day 23 hour ramble until the next performance. Our favourite Irish country music queen turns 36 today!!!! :o According to Ben’s Instagram, Aoife Belle thinks she’s 22! :lol: Probably because Una's been telling her that she is :heehee: Mollie tweeted her saying how much she loves her. Molluna :heart:
