"I love coming home to the north east," Karen Harding told OfficialCharts.com, "Everyone's way up for a party. I love living down south but there's just something about being up north, everybody gets their best glad rags on.

"I think the best thing is having amazing friends around, just enjoying the music and having a good time."
