Westlife Back Boyband

Westlife have tipped boyband Upper Street to succeed as their make-or-break single hits the shops.

Upper Street have been formed on MTV’s reality TV show, Totally Boyband, and consist of various members of old pop groups.

The band features Danny Wood of New Kids On The Block, Bradley McIntosh of S Club 7, Dane Bowers from Another Level and Jimmy Constable of 911 and they released their debut single ‘The One’ last Monday.

Critics have dismissed the group as a bad idea, but the boys have been backed by the members of Westlife – one of the biggest selling boybands of all time.

Nicky Byrne told MTV: “It’s brilliant that you have all these bands coming back. If I’d been out of the business for 10 years I’d really miss it and I’d be dying to get back into it.”

Mark Feehily added: “We know Bradley and Dane – they’re really great guys.”

Kian Egan said: “I’m really happy for Bradley. Ever since S Club ended he’s been really keen to keep the music going. Out of everyone in his old band he was the one who seemed to really want it.”
