"G'DAY KINGSTON" SQUARKED THREE
tall Aussie Girls who stepped into the limelight at Reflex. Dressed head to toe in glittering pink sequins, and with more than enough charisma to fill a stadium. It was clear we were in for a night full of all things 'Sheila'. The Crowd waited in eager anticipation. Reflex resident Drag Queens Shirley and Josey, otherwise known as Double Trouble, had even re-styled their look and modeled themselves on those girls form Oz. But are the Sheila's
the genuine article ? 
Actually No ! Only one, Cathi, is from Australia. Of the other two, Emma is from England and Carly is from north Wales. Does this matter ? Not a jot ! Knocking out song after song, from 'My Guy' to 'We are Family' and then premiering their new Stock, Aitken s and Waterman song ''(I'm so) Happy Happy (you're mine)'' they showed us they could not only sing, but sing well. Next to tired old lip-syncing acts or distorted club PAs, The Sheila's stand tall. Closing with ''It's Raining Men'', The Sheila's announced that in the New Year 'wheel' be seeing more of them, as the new ITV weather girls. Now every cloud really Will have a silver lining.
