Review : McBusted's Most Excellent Adventure Tour [NEWCASTLE]

 [SPOILER ALERT]

This week I was lucky enough to spend my Monday night reliving my youth, “Busted jumping” the night away at McBusted’s Most Excellent Adventure Tour, or MEAT as it has affectionately been nicknamed.

Player Select

For a child of the 80s (well, just about!) the show was an amazing blast from the past featuring; a pre-show teaser showcase of classic 80s movie trailers; a gigantic game of Street Fighter (Sega Megadrive style) between the boys; a hillarious Mighty Ducks spoof movie scene and yet another appearance for the Delorean.

'One For the Radio'

The set list featured an equal number of hits from McFly, Busted and McBusted including songs from the new self-titled McBusted album.

'Riding on My Bike'

Personally, I am not the biggest fan of ‘Riding on My Bike’, I would rather have seen the boys perform ’23:59’ or ‘Before You Knew Me’. However, that being said, I did enjoy the performance which saw MarioKart style graphics coupled with crazy dance moves and vocals from Matt and a paperboy style T-shirt delivery from James. 

'Crash and Burn'

Since their last Tour in 2014, McBusted have released their self titled album and, naturally, this means we didn’t get to hear as many old classics and album tracks as last time. Old favourites like Nerdy, Britney and Room on The Third Floor were sorely missed but the song choices were fantastic overall. 

'Stargirl'

The choice of McFly songs was spot on, as always. And, for me, one of the highlights of the show was the band's performance of 3AM, which wasn't included last time round in the 2014 tour. This has always been one of my favourite songs and I feel it really showcased the band's vocal talent. 

'Shine A Light' 

The energy throughout the show was fantastic; there was a great deal of running, jumping, moonwalking, pyrotechnics, flames and confetti. The stage chat from the band did seem a little limited and ater calling out "Hello Glasgow" poor Dougie received a few boo's from the crowd, but I'm sure it was all in good spirits. Overall,  I felt that it didn't detract from the show - as there was a lot of content, there may have been little time for this and the videos in between songs certainly added a little comedic value to the show making up for the lack of interaction with the band. 

'What Happened to Your Band'

McBusted have already toured at Glasgow, Newcastle and Leeds but will continue their tour on the 21st at Manchester and will later go on to visit Sheffield, Birmingham, Liverpool, London, Brighton, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Nottingham, Dublin and Belfast throughout March and April. They also recently announced a date in Northhampton later on in the year.

'Air Hostess' 

Honestly, I wish I could go back and relive that night. It was incredible. 

Were you at any of the Glasgow, Leeds or Newcastle shows? What was your favourite moment? Leave a message in the comments telling me about it!

Healthy Oat Pancakes : A La Mickey and Minnie

Serves : 1                    Ready in : 15 mins



Pancake day has been and gone but that doesn't mean the fun is over. I am of the opinion that pancakes should not be confined to one dull and dreary February day, but freely enjoyed whenever it takes your fancy. In fact, I eat so many I'm quite surprised I haven't turned into one (or, rather, evoked some sort of pancake-related obsesity).

Perhaps this is because my go-to recipe for pancakes comes in at under 150 calories and is packed with a whole 8.2 grammes of protein to keep away those hunger pangs till well after lunch.

I follow this simple and extremely versatile recipe almost every weekend. When I'm feeling angelic I pile mountains of fresh strawberries and blueberries on top and serve with more FAGE Yoghurt and a drizzle of honey. When I'm feeling naughty, I slather my pancake stack with Nutella and top with warm cherries.  If I'm feeling creative I opt to use a pancake mould and create some of my favourite disney characters. But most importantly, If I am feeling utterly ravenous, I enjoy doubling this recipe and feeling 100% guilt free.

Ingredients 

20g Rolled Oats

50g FAGE Total 0% Yoghurt

1 egg

Sprinkle of Stevia or Sweetener

Optional Extras/Toppings

Cinnamon

Cocoa powder

Chocolate chips

Peanutbutter
Fruit
Protein powder

Method

1.) Add all ingredients to a bowl or jug and beat with a fork until the mixture resembles the consistency of a pancake batter.

2.) Next add your optional extras to the mixture and beat well.

3.) Here is where you'll need your mould. I bought mine in Florida but you can also find it here on ebay. Pour mixture into the mould in a lightly oiled heated pan (or use Firelight, if you'd prefer).

4.) Cook the pancakes on a medium heat for approximately 2-3 minutes or until golden on one side. 

5.) Remove mould and flip.

6.) Once cooked, transfer to plate and decorate or add toppings.

Nutritional Information

Be sure to tweet me or Instagram me a picture of your pancakes if you decide to try this recipe. How will you have them?
