A BOY band which has a string of celebrity admirers including Jessie J and Pixie Lott is set to perform live at tonight's Christmas lights switch-on in Hereford.

The Scheme - comprised of Billy, from Basingstoke, Kris, from Liverpool and Orlando-born, Kyle - are described as creating a distinctive sound that’s somewhere between The Script and Lawson.

Their new single, ‘Sick of You’, was released this week and they've had 400,000 Youtube hits for their track, ‘Somebody Else’s Perfect’.

Free parking in Herefordshire Council car parks is available at the event in Hereford High Town tonight from 4pm.

The lights are being switched on in High Town at 7pm, with the celebrations starting at 5.30pm. Shops are allowed to stay open until 9pm.
