#skerries

John and Edward have been in the news a lot these past few weeks. Two weeks ago they launched the music video for their hot new single, “Free Spirit”.  The video, like most of their music videos over the past two years, was made and edited by the twins themselves, and has met with critical acclaim from all over the world.  Shot in Ireland and Italy, the video complements the song perfectly, using fresh and free scenery…and not to mention smouldering looks from the twins themselves!

Prior to their video launch, the twins had been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, having had a close shave at Malahide Beach, County Dublin, where they had been stranded by rising tides.  The Skerries Coast Guard rescued the twins, who had been on a beach walk with their young cousin.  John and Edward visited the Skerries heroes late last week for a reunion with those who had quite literally, it emerges, saved their lives.

The twins presented two awards at Dublin radio station 98fm’s “Best of Dublin” Awards, giving out two prizes - “Best Barber/Hairdresser”, which went to Pose and Pout, of Blanchardstown, and “Best Restaurant”, going to Roast, in Ballsbridge. 

On Saturday however, they shall be a headlining act at this year’s Guilfest, in Guildford, Surrey, UK.  Jedward fans are flying in from all over to catch the performance of the Duo, their first live gig since their smash performance at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, back in April.

Tickets are still available for Guilfest.  Free Spirit is available on iTunes.
