Couldn't tell you one of this fella's songs and being out of the UK for coming up to 20 years, the last boy band I've heard of is Take That. I know nothing about First Direction, apart from they sound like an online bank or a far-right think-tank.
Then someone posted this on FB. Love the song, so had a listen. Wow, he sings it like Steve Winwood, not bad lad.
