We all love a bit of musical nostalgia - and for people of a certain age, that means dancing around to cheesy '90s pop acts. Nowt wrong with that.
Boyband East 17 have capitalised on this wave of nostalgia in recent years, playing the odd gig here and there while their one-time rivals Take That are filling stadiums. Original members Tony Mortimer and Brian Harvey no longer play with them, so at least they were spared the mortification.
However, their gig at Dublin's Academy last Thursday night didn't quite go to plan, as only 30 people showed up, according to reports. If you've been to The Academy, you'll be aware that it usually holds around 800 people - so that's a lot of empty floor space.
Indeed, a picture posted by Twitter user and photographer Tom Flynn (below) confirmed that there was scant attendance at the gig.
What can you say? At least they went ahead with it...

By all accounts, they recovered from the mishap and played to 3000 people at a gig last night, according to Terry Coldwell - although the gig was in a Butlin's holiday camp, mind you:
Great show tonight amazing 3000 people jumping up and down loving it haha

He responded to fans querying the bad press by saying that the Dublin show was not "promoted properly":
