Stratford-Upon-Avon: July

JLS - Live

Thursday 15th July

When JLS, Britain’s favourite new boyband in a generation (official!), signed with Epic records at the start of this year, the hallowed imprint meant one thing alone to the boys.

This was previously the house of Michael, the home of their hero. Little did they know that a tragic turn of events would soon see them battling with Jacko for chart honours in the unlikeliest and most unforeseen passing on of a pop baton.

The irresistible urban pop bounce of their debut single Beat Again eschewed all industry thinking about the potential of pop-stars born out of the reality TV genre and sailed to number one at a time when nobody, understandably, seemed to want anything musically other than Michael.
