🎞️ Some memories do not live in photo albums.
They live in songs, VHS tapes, shell suits, and the sound of a radio being recorded on a Sunday afternoon.
It is time to rewind with Your Era Blog, Zingo Bingo’s nostalgic video series celebrating the moments, habits, and cultural touchstones that shaped us.
The first guest to step into our time machine is Kerry Katona, best known as a former member of pop group Atomic Kitten, whose hit single Whole Again became one of the UK’s biggest songs of the early 2000s. Over the past 25 years, Kerry has remained a familiar face on British television, sharing her story across music, reality TV, and documentaries.
In Flashback Files, Kerry looks back on the sights, sounds, and small details that instantly transport you to another time. From music and fashion to everyday rituals and childhood memories, it’s all about shared nostalgia, honest reflection, and that familiar feeling of “I remember that”.
⏪ Kerry’s flashback journey begins where so many of ours do. At home. With family. And with music that somehow felt bigger than the room it was played in.
She takes us back to the years she spent living with her Nana Betty, remembering being young and surrounded by LPs. Names like Whitney Houston and Stevie Wonder come up as Kerry reflects on what music meant growing up, especially at a time when buying records was not always an option.
Some of her most vivid memories come from special moments, including a Christmas VHS gift that sparked a childhood crush, and it opens up a wider conversation about how entertainment felt back then. Waiting for it. Replaying it. Making it last.
Kerry also looks back on her first ever concert, which may not be what you expect, and the rituals that came with being a music fan, from Smash Hits magazines to learning lyrics from the back pages.
Fashion plays its part too, as she remembers youth club nights, Wasp Club, and the pressure of trying to fit in when other kids had branded trainers.
Kerry also reflects on first phones, growing up, and how different life felt when kids played out until the street lights came on. She laughs about childhood hairstyles her Nana was always keen to give her, and falling out with friends.
🪩 This is the heart of Flashback Files. It is shared nostalgia. These are the stories that spark conversations. In group chats. In the comments. In bingo rooms.
Everyone has their own version of these memories.
And that is where Zingo Bingo lives. In the overlap between stories, laughter, and the moments that shaped us.
What’s Next
