- ‘SUN, SEA …. AND SWEENEY’
Actress and singer Claire Sweeney caused a sensation when she arrived in Southport for a special TV series that sees her visit her favourite seaside resorts.
The former Brookside star launched her ‘Sun, Sea ….and Sweeney’ programme for GMTV from Southport where she performed her debut single ‘When You Believe’ on Southport Pier.
During the programme Claire said that she had fond childhood memories of the resort and was impressed with the major changes that Southport had been able to achieve including the new promenade, Ocean Plaza Leisure Complex and pier restoration.
She also talked about walking along the town’s famous Lord Street with shopping boulevards and pavement cafes as well as starting her career with one of her first performances at the Southport Arts Centre.
In addition to Southport, Claire took viewers down memory lane when she also visited Blackpool, Llandudno, Weymouth and Bournemouth during the series.
