ASTON MEETS HIS HOME FANS

Scream… it’s Aston and JLS!

The noise was deafening as hundreds of JLS fans greeted Peterborough’s hot young star Aston Merrygold and the boys at their record signing in hmv in Queensgate. They’d queued for hours, and many had travelled miles or stayed up all night to meet their X Factor heroes and to grab their own signed copy of the band’s single ‘Beat Again’.

Aston, Marvin, JB and Oritse were in good spirits as they prepared to step out for the signing and when they did the record store erupted. After a quick kiss with a girl fan in a wheelchair the boys were kept busy signing signature after signature as the line of ecstatic fans seemed endless.

“I’d love a number one, it would be a dream come true,” Aston told ESP and we reckon he’s got it! The 21 year-old former Jack Hunt school pupil is still stunned at his success and couldn’t believe it was his turn to host his own CD signing in his home town.

ESP grabbed a word with the boys behind the scenes so look out for our interview in the August  issue of ESP Magazine out on July 29. Were you there? Tell us why you love JLS and what it was like to be at the signing session on office@espmag.co.uk
