With their Irish concerts coming up this weekend, let’s have a little look at how much John and Edward Grimes, aka Jedward, have changed since they first came to our attention way back in 2009, on the X Factor.
Yes - 2009! The Dublin Duo walked on that stage at the tender age of 17, and 4 years down the track they have starred in 3 television shows (2 of which went into a second series), represented Ireland twice at the Eurovision, released 3 albums, and are putting the finishing touches on their fourth.
They are well known not only in Ireland, the UK, and mainland Europe, but also have sizeable fanbases in Canada, the US, Australia, Singapore, and even China!
Catch Jedward in concert in Cork this Friday night, and Limerick on Saturday. Ticket details can be found on Jedward’s website.
