[edit] The Band

The three members of the band are Graham McKee (lead vocals/bass guitar) as Vince, Luke O'Reilly (lead guitar/vocals) as Leon and Eoin Logan (drums/vocals) as Tay. Their sound is similar to that of acts such as The Monkees and McFly- guitar pop with some 60s Rock 'n' Roll influence added to the mix. They came together in the early part of 2006 to begin work on their debut album People Let's Go and to film the first part of their television series. They have been signed to Universal Music and the album is expected to be released early 2007. An exclusive download only release 'Can't Go There Again' is available from Friday 3rd November.

[edit] The Programme

Main Article: Bel's Boys (TV series)

Bel's Boys was made by Initial (part of the Endemol group) and was part funded by the NIFTC (Northern Ireland Film and Television Commission). The series was filmed entirely in Belfast making it the biggest drama series ever to be filmed in Northern Ireland[citation needed].

On the CITV television programme Graham, Luke and Eoin play Vince, Leon and Tay respectively. The show follows the progress of the band as they try to reach the top. The show begins with the band being rejected by a talent agent, only to have his 9 year old daughter, Bel Barter, played by Allanah Scully, assume the role of the band's manager. The show is proving to be popular among daytime TV audiences.

Unfortunately for the band their performances on the show have been the object of derision for the miming when playing their songs "live". In every performance the band are shown playing over an obviously recorded version of their songs without even having their guitars plugged in. {fact|date=February 2007}}
