The chart-topping band McFly is coming to the Sound Knowledge music shop in Marlborough Monday, November 15 to sign copies of their new album Above the Noise on its launch day.
Sound Knowledge regularly has visits by up and coming bands and performers to promote tours or the release of new albums but owner Roger Mortimer said McFly was probably the biggest band to have visited the music store in Hughenden Yard, off the High Street.
Members of the band will be at the music shop from 5pm on November 15 for the signing session on the day of the release of their new album.
Mr Mortimer said: “It will be probably the best known band we have had visit Sound Knowledge and we are looking forward to it very much, especially as it’s the launch day for their latest album.”
The Brit award-winning rock group was formed in London in 2004 and consists of Tom Fletcher (lead vocals and guitar), Danny Jones (lead vocals and guitar), Dougie Poynter (backing vocals and bass guitar) and Harry Judd (drums).
McFly shot to fame after another band, Busted, helped launch them by inviting the band to take part in a UK tour in 2004.
Their debut album Room on the 3rd Floor debuted at number one in the UK album charts, which led to McFly becoming the youngest band to have an album heading the charts.
This was an accolade previously held by another four-piece boy band called The Beatles.
Mc Fly have had 17 consecutive top 20 singles, seven of which became chart toppers and 15 reaching the top ten in the charts.
Because of the need to control numbers in the Sound Knowledge shop Mr Mortimer said all those who wanted to attend had to ring (01672) 511106 in order to register.
It is not known if all four members of the band will be in Marlborough or just some of them.
