JLS go down a storm in Highlands


By Rosemary Lowne



THOUSANDS of deafening screams reverberated through Ross County Football stadium for arguably Britain’s hottest boyband JLS.

The lads made a dramatic entrance by shooting up through a trap door onto the stage pronouncing "Ross County are you ready to go outta this world?"

JB, sent the crowd into a frenzy as they got stuck into recent hits including ‘Outta This World’ and ‘Eyes Wide Shut’.

Smiling and waving to the crowd, which was predominantly made up of young girls, the boys explained it was their first time in Ross County, before tearing into some of their biggest hits from their first album such as ‘One Shot’ and ‘Beat Again’.

Dancing erupted throughout the stadium when the boys covered Rihanna’s hit ‘Umbrella’, Jessie J’s ‘Pricetag’ and hits from the Backstreet Boys.

The Ross County stadium was positively bouncing by the end of the gig on Saturday when the boys launched into ‘The Club Is Alive’ before ending with the infectiously catchy ‘Beat Again’.

Judging by the massive grins on fans leaving the venue, it was clear the gig was a huge hit.

Fellow X Factor star Olly Murs, who supported JLS, was also a massive hit with the crowd, especially when his skintight trousers ripped from his energetic dancing.

And talented 16-year-old singer Katie Davies opened the event followed by Edinburgh five-piece band Jakil and Ayr musician Little Fire.

See more about the event in tomorrow’s edition of The Inverness Courier.
