Hundreds of music fans queued up outside a Nantwich record store to meet boy band Blue who made a special appearance!
The group were in town to visit Applestump Records where members were signing copies of their new album for adoring fans.
And the group also had time to pop in to nearby coffee shop Bear and Boost for a well-earned cuppa.
The English boy band were first formed in 2000, consisting of members Simon Webbe, Duncan James, Antony Costa, and Lee Ryan.
Steve Cook, who runs Applestump Records on Oat Market, said: “Biggest of cheers to all who came out for our Blue album signing.
“Big cheers to the band for stopping by our little shop, gracing the Applestump stage and meeting so many fans.
“And thanks also to the Applestump dream team. Dani for the bookings, Lynn for putting in a shift handing out the goods to the queue and Eddie for managing the door. You’re the best!”
The group released three studio albums before announcing a hiatus in late 2004. They reformed in 2011 and represented the UK in 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.
Blue have sold 15 million records worldwide and according to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) the band has been certified for 3.6 million albums and 2.6 million singles in the UK.
It’s not the first big name to drop by the popular record shop. Last year, they welcome Sophie Ellis-Bextor who signed copies of her latest album.
And they are lining up more acts and performers over the next few weeks, including concerts during Independent Venue Week from January 26-30.
