A BRISTOL girl band, which supported the likes of Peter Andre, Sam Bailey and Kingsland Road, came to West Devon recently to film their debut music video at Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre.

The Lifton fairground centre was chosen by Girl Next Door — comprising teens Alisha, Cheyenne and Georgia — for its array of classic fairground rides, the colourful lights and vibrant atmosphere, which provided the perfect backdrop to the band’s debut video for their track Should Have Known, which the girls hope will remind their fans of summers gone by filled with fun and new friends.

The band has been working together for three years after applying to an advertisement recruiting singers for a new girl group being created by The Famous Company. After working with a team of songwriters, music producers, vocal coaches, stylists and photographers, last year the girls released their self-penned three-track EP on iTunes.

Ben Rees, from The Famous Company, said: ‘We scoured the country for the perfect location for the girls’ music video, but after finding Dingles we knew that this would be the perfect setting. Dingles has so many vintage fairground rides, which were a perfect juxtaposition to the girls’ modern day pop song. The Famous Company is proud to have supported Dingles by making a donation for the use of the heritage centre which we hope will continue to develop and expand over the years to come.’

Dingles is home to the Fairground Heritage Trust which aims to preserve the history of fairgrounds for future generations. The trust believes that fairgrounds have played a vital role in shaping the entertainment and leisure time of today’s society. Over the past few years the team at Dingles has worked tirelessly to make sure that the rich history of classic fairground rides and side shows is kept alive for generations to come.

The video for the soundtrack Should Have Known has amassed over 3,000 views on Vevo in less than two weeks. To watch the video or for more information visit www.facebook.com/GNDonline
