Young Boyband Bring It North Release Rehearsal Footage Filmed Prior to Life Changing Britain’s Got Talent Performance
In 2018, a five-member boy band called Bring It North participated in Britain's Got Talent, captivating viewers with their melodious voices and endearing characters. The group consisted of Harry, Max, Toby, Oscar, and Felix, who were between ten and twelve years old during their BGT audition, where they sang 'Electricity' from Billy Elliot the musical. They advanced to the next stage, with judge Alesha Dixon expressing hope that their performance would motivate other young boys. Unfortunately, the band was eliminated in the semi-finals, despite delivering a silvery rendition of 'A Million Dreams' from The Greatest Showman.
As a gift to disappointed fans after their exit, they posted a practice video showing their initial version of the cover, which featured more vocal complexity than the televised version. Fans across the nation quickly responded with praise, many admiring the boys' skill for heavenly harmonies.
"These boys harmonize well," one fan remarked, while another admitted, "not very many singing videos give me goosebumps, but this one did easily." The recording—which has been viewed over a million times—truly evokes shivers, with the group's layered vocals and deep harmonies creating an inspiring cover. Most touching is the sight of the boys' fathers watching proudly in the background, clearly supportive of their sons' courageous effort.
The elimination from Britain's Got Talent did not stop Bring It North—their show appearance was just the start. The quintet frequently performs concerts around the country following the competition. A video from 2018 shows them performing an energetic version of The Jackson 5's 'I Want You Back,' delighting the audience and leading some viewers to see them as potential successors to the famous Motown group.
Whether these boys will achieve global fame like The Jackson 5 is unknown; their social media accounts have been quiet recently, suggesting they might be working on something significant or have possibly gone separate ways. Perhaps Simon Cowell predicted their future during the BGT semi-finals when he didn't offer a recording deal but instead suggested they might star in major West End productions.
