There was a clip of them doing this exact thing on that JLS Revealed show that was on ITV2, but I can't find it on YouTube. Marvin plays the piano; JB plays the piano, the guitar and the flute & Oritsé taught himself to play the guitar when he was a teenager (as it says in their book.)

Where have you found them to be 'up themselves'? According to all of the stories I've heard from people who've met them, they're lovely & down to earth. Aston has been involved in Beat Bullying working with kids just the other month, and Oritsé has been working with an MS charity (
see here) as his Mother was diagnosed with it when he was young.
I also thought it was very sweet of JB to talk about how incredibly Alex was doing rather than themselves, when Dermot spoke to them last night.
It's fine if people don't like their music, but posting about things you clearly don't know (i.e. the instruments) and saying they're arrogant when they've never shown any signs of that isn't fair.
