Boyzone

By Nishan


Many of you have heard of the Irish boy band known as Boyzone. This successful group was composed of 5 members. During the height of their career this group was one of the highly successful groups around. Boyzone began in 1993 under the management of Louis Walsh who first had the idea of creating an Irish group of male singers who could perform at the same level as the group Take That.

In order to get that perfect group of singer Walsh held auditions to see who would pass the requirements he needed. Out of the original 300 contestants 5 individual were chosen. These 5 people would comprise the original members of this boy band. They were Stephen, Ronan, Shane, Richard and Mark. Once Richard Rock left the band his void was filled by Mikey.

Boyzone’s songs belong to the pop genre and they are extremely wonderful to listen to. The group produced 4 albums which become number 1 hits and 6 singles which also become placed at the number 1 slot. Their first album which was released in 1995 was Said and Done. Prior to this Boyzone played mainly in Northern Ireland at pubs and bars before they were signed onto PolyGram Records and started their musical career in the eye of the international audiences.

From this beginning Boyzone have proven they have the ability to provide their fans with songs which are melodious and full of life. When you hear songs like “Love Me For A Reason”, “Working My Way Back To You”, “A Different Beat”, “Picture of You”, “Baby Can I Hold You” and “No Matter What” you will be able to hear the soulfulness of their voices.


This successful streak of Boyzone came to an end in 2000, but luckily for their myriad of fans the group made a comeback in 2007. Of the many songs they gave us from this time you will most likely have heard the song “Love You Anyway”. In October of 2009 Stephen Gately who shared the lead in vocals with Ronan Keating passed away from natural causes. Even though his void has not been filled the group has decided they will release some songs which were written by Gately for the group, as a tribute to him.
