She left last year to pursue other things. Bubba McCarthy has replaced her.

To be fair, they don’t usually play it as part of their reduced festival set.

But I think there are too many left.

I understand they want to quit cover versions but I think "Se a Vida e" and "Go West" had been working amazingly well with this audiencience and even "What have I done to deserve this?".

They are not going to play Go West, risking another lawsuit, it could prove very costly!

I know it.
But never ever?, I hope not. I mean, they should be able to play one of the Top 4 biggest classics.

As you can see, PSB was the topic these days in Chile. So many TV shows talking about them, their music and on social, political and many other terms:

They do keep Chris speaking the Go West bridge lyric that Neil added to the song. These days doing that seems like flipping the bird to Willis now, doesn't it?!

The big award of this festival is La Gaviota Platino but it's difficult for PSB to win. Just because the ones who win that award should:

- Give such an outstanding show people wanted you to win
- Have more than 30 years of career
- Have been more times in the festival

So they are not going to win it.

Yeah just reading about those awards and the Platinum one isn't presented lightly - not that that diminishes the Boys contribution over 40+ years, but I think it would have been unlikely for them to have received it.

I don’t think they care too much.

These trophy’s are kinda ridiculous, aren’t they? Anyway, I felt pretty embarrassed by the overblown spectacle before they finally got to play West End girls. ;)
