Fans of all ages lap up JLS at the Marquee

ROLL up, roll up, the Marquee is back in town. And what a way to follow the opening act, Megadeth, and with two nights of the boy band of the moment – JLS.

The British boyband are about as poptastic as it gets in the music world. They rose to fame on the X Factor, they have already won a Brit award and they love their mammies.

Last night in Cork, pop fans, young and old, made the pilgrimage to the Marquee to welcome Aston, Marvin, JB and Oritse. The colours loud, the banners big and the concert sold out. Rice Krispie boxes were turned into declarations of love for the band and for the few over-18s there last night the queue for the beer tent was just as short as many of the teenagers’ skirts. There were even rumours people were queuing outside from 7am yesterday morning to get close to the stage.
