McFly

Formed in 2004, McFly's debut single, Five Colours in her Hair, went straight to number one in the UK as did their debut album Room on the Third Floor. Their second album, Wonderland (2005), also reached number one in the UK. Other albums include Motion in the Ocean (2006), Greatest Hits (2007) and Radio:Active (2008). In 2005, McFly won a Brit Award for Best Pop Act; performed at the Royal Variety Performance and met the queen. They headlined Live 8 in Japan, performed at the pre-G8 summit in Glasgow; re-recorded The Who's 1965 hit My Generation with Roger Daltrey; travelled to Uganda as ambassadors for Comic Relief and recorded the official Comic Relief single All About You. In 2006, the band appeared in the Lindsay Lohan/Chris Pine comedy Just My Luck as themselves. The soundtrack album included some of McFly's earlier British hits and the film went to number three in the USA. According to Billboard, the film's eponymous album beamed 'sunshine through its sparkling rhythms, shimmering vocal harmonies, and catchy layered melodies''. That year, at a sell-out show at Wembley Stadium, they were joined on stage by the legendary Brian May in a rendition of the Queen classic, Don't Stop Me Now. In 2007, McFly returned to Uganda with Newsround to see how the money raised by Comic Relief was being spent. The programme, called McFly's Big Red Noseround, was aired on CBBC. In 2008, McFly's single Do Ya helped to raise money for Children In Need. Founded by Tom Fletcher (lead vocals and guitar), McFly is made up of Danny Jones on lead vocals and guitar; Dougie Poynter on vocals and bass guitar and Harry Judd on drums.
