Ahead of the much-anticipated Spice Girls reunion concert at Croke Park tonight, why not watch the new mini-series centring around five die-hard fans of the 90s girl-band?

'People of the World, Spice up your Life!' is a message the world can't seem to forget, and the supergroup have achieved some incredible feats in their day. 

In 1996, when the girl-band exploded into our homes, it's safe to say they made an everlasting impact on the lives of millions of people around the world.

RTÉ Player is now showing five short documentaries, called Spice Up Your Life!, for a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

20 years may have gone by, but the intensity and passion of the band's fan-base lives on. The documentary series interviews five massive fans about their love for Baby Spice, Sporty Spice, Crazy Spice, Posh Spice and Baby Spice.

Whether it was in times of friendship, love, loss, ambition, travelling the world or even bulling, The Spice Girls influences the lives of these fans irreversibly and made them who they are today.

Spice Up your Life is the nostalgic trip down memory lane we all need, exploring how the message of one girl-group can leave an enduring effect on the world.

These fve individual short documentaries, revolving around the personal stories of Niamh & Caitriona, Anthony, Alex, Lisa and Clara, will leave you entertained and reminiscing on 1990s girl power.

Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Mel C brought some amazing tunes to our repertoire, and Wannabe lives on as the biggest track of 1996.

We'll miss Posh Spice on stage tonight, but it's still set to be an incredible show.

1. Ex-Fair City actor Anthony Delaney

Growing up gay in rural Kilkenny, The Spice Girls' message of individualism guided 35-year-old Anthony Delaney through the tough times in his life.

Niamh Kelly & Caitriona O’Brien

Through thick and thin, 37-year-old Niamh Kelly and Caitriona O'Brien's mutual adoration of The Spice Girls has formed a close friendship lasting over 25 years.

Lisa Curran – Kerry

31-year-old vocal coach Lisa Curran found inspiration in The Spice Girls' message through her son Christopher. Her little boy was born with autism, and the band's message helped him to accept that he was different.

Alex Le Moss – via Brazil

Alex Le Moss, who is a brand new Irish citizen, learned English through his mother's translation of the Spice Girls lyrics. He grew up in Brazil with dreams of travelling across the world to meet the band.

Clara Caslin – Dublin

Clara Caslin's dad bought her tickets to see the Spice Girls in concert back in 1997. He has since passed away, but she was first in the queue this year to get tickets for the Croke Park gig.

Each of the five documentaries are special and heart-warming in their own way, take a look now on RTÉ Player to get you in the mood for tonight's exciting gig.

St Patrick's Day is a sacred tradition for Irish folk, and luckily it's celebrated globally. 

However, there's nothing quite like the nostalgia and authenticity of an Irish Paddy's Day parade.

If you're living abroad or will be on your holiday's this Saturday, but can't stand the thought of missing out on the St. Patrick’s Festival Parade, you're in luck. 

 

A post shared by DELYSIA (@delish_del) on

This year, RTE Player is streaming the festival online, so you can watch wherever you are, as long as you have 4G or a Wifi connection. 

Presented by Aidan Power, Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh and Des Cahill, the St. Patrick's Day parade will be broadcast to the masses, even if you don't have access to RTE1 or 2.

Kicking off at 2.15pm Irish time, the live stream will allow those of us away from home to feel the patriotism.

This year Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham will lead the parade as Grand Marshall.

The parade theme is 'Home Is Where the Heart Is,' so the live stream could not be nay more fitting for those who have emigrated.  

You can catch it here tomorrow.

If you didn't follow the ups and downs of the Fade Street crew back in 2010, your time has now come.

And if you're not even quite sure who the Fade Street crew are, allow us to introduce you.

While now a bonafide radio and TV personality, seven years ago Vogue Williams was embarking on a career in the competitive world of acting while working as a model and a DJ in the nation's capital.

 And she was doing it all in front of the cameras.

Vogue and co-stars, Louise Johnston, Danielle Robinson and Cici Cavanagh, were Dublin's answer to Lauren Conrad and the crew, and while there was a distinct lack of A-listers, sunshine, and Hollywood parties, the ladies did bring the drama – drama which RTÉ is only dying to reacquaint you with.

That's right ladies, every episode of the show is now available online for your viewing pleasure.

And if you're not quite sure what you're getting yourself into, why not take a sneak peek here?

While Saoirse Ronan, Lenny Abrahamson and Emma Donoghue all missed out on awards at last night's Oscars, there was one Irish person heading home with the coveted gold statuette.

Dubliner Benjamin Cleary scooped the Best Live Action Short Film award for Stutterer, which he wrote, directed and edited.

The film tells the tale of a lonely typographer whose eloquent inner thoughts are halted by a speech impediment, and it has had huge success on the film festival award circuit too.

"Every day is a proud day to be Irish but today more so than usual. So everyone, for all the support back home, thank you so much," Ben told the audience during his acceptance speech.

And chatting to Anton Savage on Today FM this morning, he said he was planning a big night of celebrating with his producer "and best friend" Selena Armitage.

"We’re gonna head out to a party now and hopefully meet up with my brother who’s here and two of my best mates are here and they’re really the people I want to go see now and just saviour this moment with them," he admitted. 

"It’s a special time."

If you're interested in checking out the Oscar-winning short, you can do so for free on the RTÉ Player here (within the Republic of Ireland) until Sunday March 27.
