Boy band joins Berko Raiders – for one night only!
Berkhamsted Raiders’ over 18 football team had some special visitors join in training last week.
Members of new boy band December 10, the latest proteges of pop mogul and Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell, got in some footie training before their introductory gigs this week.
Band member Cruz has played for Berkhamsted Raiders for about seven years, and he brought some of his band to join in the training session.
Danny, Josh and Sean from December 10 joined Cruz and his Raiders team mates for a kickabout, with permission from team manager Ian.
December 10 appeared on the Netflix series Simon Cowell: The Next Act, where the One Direction manager and X Factor judge Simon Cowell put together the band.
The seven-member band has been busy building its social media presence since then, and their first song Run My Way was released at the end of January. With 1.6 million streams on Spotify, it debuted at number 72 on the official UK charts.
The band plays at the O2 Islington Academy this Thursday 19 February, at the O2 Academy 2 in Birmingham on Friday, and in Dublin at the Academy Green Room on Sunday 22 February.
