While most people normally choose to spend their Sunday at home relaxing, the girls were up bright and early (6:30am - ouch!) recording the video to their forthcoming single 'Sophisticated'. With the help of a very patient restaurant owner, some clever lighting, a lot of camera equipment, a team of stylists and willing extras recruited via ads in the local press, The Olive Tree restaurant in Banstead was temporarily converted into a nightclub venue, with stage and bar areas.
The girls also enlisted the help of Caterham Cars, who kindly loaned two of their famous cars for the shoot, which finished with the girls jumping into the cars and speeding off.
"We wanted to have not just a video that shows who we are, but also where we come from," says Amanda Neale, who both manages and sings in the group. "The cars were a great way of getting this across."
Amazingly, despite the number of different scenes that needed to be filmed, the whole shoot was wrapped in just a day. Some exclusive behind the scenes shots from the filming can be seen on the slideshow on the right.
