IT’S A supergroup featuring two of the most successful musicians from 1990s boybands: Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden.
Born out of friendship, Boyzlife celebrates the best of the Boyzone and Westlife in a new show coming to The Hexagon this autumn.
Old School is the name of their show, based on a new album released earlier this year. It features new songs as well as some classic hits.
The duo will be backed by a full band and audiences can expect to hear new single The One – co-written by Brian and legendary songwriter Guy Chambers (Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Rufus Wainwright), with production by rising producer Jackson – who has honed his skills engineering and programming for the likes of Shawn Mendes and The Libertines.
The hitmaking duo will also perform many of their greatest hits, from a catalogue which includes a record breaking 18 No.1 singles and nine No.1 albums – plus combined record sales of more than 30million.
Since their inception, Boyzlife have already performed some of their greatest chart hits for over 70,000 fans.
Of being back on the road, playing their original material for the very first time, the band says: “We cannot wait to get back on the road and this time playing Boyzlife original material alongside all of our music over the last 25 years.
“The show will be a Rolla-coaster through old and new songs and we cannot wait to take our fans on the ride”.
In between last year’s tour dates Boyzlife have been busy in the studio writing and creating new music.
Brian explains: “Keith and I grew up in the 80s and 90s, the sound of that era is what made us want to be musicians in the first place.
“When we first started talking about making this record as Boyzlife’s first studio album, we naturally talked about those influences a lot and have loved bringing these familiar sounds into our studio sessions and onto this record, and cannot wait to take those songs live.”
The boys will be at The Hexagon in Reading on Wednesday, October 5.
Tickets cost £46.50, or £38.50.
