A new Netflix documentary next week will show why the Gary Barlow fronted trio, like former member Williams, are still going strong after almost four decades

Is there any end to our fetish for the 1990s? It began in the early 2010s – in keeping with a much popularised idea that nostalgia comes in 20-year cycles – but is showing no sign of abating. It’s there in everything – from fashion to TV and, of course, music.
The most talked-of gigs of last year – the Oasis comeback shows at Croke Park – were almost entirely comprised of their mid-’90s albums. Returning ’90s heroes Pulp and My Bloody Valentine played eagerly anticipated Irish shows, too. And the evergreen Robbie Williams also entertained the masses at GAA HQ.
