Spice Girls tour suffers 'awful' sound problems for second night - CNN

(CNN) —  

Fans of the Spice Girls are demanding refunds after the girl group's long-anticipated reunion tour was plagued by sound problems for the second consecutive night.

Several attendees complained they struggled to hear the British band during their performance at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on Monday night, with some saying the problems ruined the experience.

"Amazing show from @spicegirls but the sound was terrible! Can barely hear vocals!" a concert-goer wrote on Twitter on Monday evening.

"Those in charge of sound need to improve. You couldn't hear a word when they were talking," another added, while a third said the sound at the gig was "bloody awful."

The tour marks the first performances by the 90s act for nine years, and both venues the group have played have been packed with fans.

But the event is quickly becoming overshadowed by technical issues – the band were hit by similar audio problems during their previous concert in Dublin on Friday, which had kicked off their comeback tour.

Cardiff resident Claire White said on Twitter she left Monday's show after around half an hour, saying she was "feeling extremely disappointed with the Spice Girls." Others added they were seeking refunds, while some also questioned why the stadium's retractable roof was left open despite rain falling on the crowd.

Emma Bunton rakes in £6m during Spice Girls tour - FOX 28 Spokane

Emma Bunton raked in £6 million for the Spice Girls tour.

The 'Wannabe' singer – known as Baby Spice in the band – brought home the most amount of money from touring the UK and Ireland with her bandmates, Geri Horner, Mel B and Mel C.

Monsta Touring Limited and Monsta Productions Limited were set up by Emma earlier this year and she raked in no less than £4 million and £1 million respectively. The girl group also banked £4.5 million in one group company, which would give Emma another £1 million to add to her own pot.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Emma's not just a talented singer, she's a shrewd businesswoman. She set up the two new companies for the tour earnings and the paperwork has shown just how hugely successful this has been for her.

"Emma and the girls also banked £4.5million for the tour in a group company run by all of them, so she also made just over a million from that.While the tour was massively lucrative, the best bit for Emma was just being back on stage with her bandmates, which she absolutely loved."

And there may be more money to make as Melanie C recently revealed she would love to tour the United States with the Spice Girls following their 2019 reunion.

She said: "We love being in the USA and have had so many great times there doing TV shows and promotional stuff. And we so want to get back there. We do not have any plans, but we are hooking up quite soon and that needs ­certain discussion. We need things to look forward to and we can make good plans for something positive in the future."

While I applaud that all the major vendors seem to be focusing on more integrated advisor and investor experiences, far too many of them are solving to that by rushing to the same unrealistic spot. They all want to be your "portal" or your "one stop shop." What we need instead are industry standards for the exchange of complex data (like financial plans, proposals, and performance data) so that it isn't only easier to integrate different best-of-breed systems together, but it's easier for advisors to move with confidence betw

It's a bar that observes Dry January all year, serving zero-proof and non-alcoholic drinks. But it's not just any bar — it's a 1976 horse trailer transformed into a prohibition-era oasis.

"It was the combination of the music, the people and the weather. The Sarasota Music Festival was the only festival I ever returned to when I was student age," Block said. He's returning for the first time this summer as a faculty member who plans to shake things up and hopefully change how the participants – and audiences – think about and perform music. Block began exploring improvisation and non-Western music during his undergraduate years at Cleveland Institute of Music and while earning his graduate degree at Juilliard, and since then, "my professional direction has taken me very explicitly away from Western classical music.
