UK J-Tribe on tour

by Shilla Patel

Reflecting now over a year and a half ago when Janet released 'No Sleeep' (actually on our birthday on the 22nd June), I was so excited that Janet was back. I loved the song and the video. It was a great birthday gift. Well that excitement hit another level, when I heard she was going back on tour. As the UK J-Tribe we had a chat and decided we couldn't wait for Janet to return to Europe so looked to get tickets for the 3 shows in Florida. It wasn't easy, Several computers later and lots of nerves, we just about managed to get tickets.

We met after 4 years to fly off to Miami on the 22nd September for our first show. We had first met in 2011 at the 'Up Close and Personal' tour in Dublin and then flew to Cape Town where we were so humbled to meet the person we look up to the most. Our friendship since then has grown into something special. Janet has bought us together and helped make our bonds unbreakable. The UK J-Tribe are my family.
