great they are tour videos,get to see lukes's lovely face

Luke's now listed on the rotosound website: http://www.rotosound.com/luke-friend/

He's in excellent company with Rotosound. xx

I know rotosound is an endoresement deal but would they have any say at all in Lukes music? To ensure he fits the mould with their roster list?

I really doubt it.

They must have seen him on X Factor, so they know the type of artist he is.

If he didn't fit their requirements, they wouldn't have made the endorsement?

I've looked on Hamley's website:

http://www.hamleys.com/HAMLEYS_LANDI...efault,pg.html

It looks like their Underground has a new attraction, so that must be what Luke is opening

Luke's is in this month TOTP'S AND Bliss ,not a big spread like Teen Now but still good he is he them.

Lemonfest festival, Newton Abbot, 31st May

I forgot about the Hamleys thing! I booked half day from work tomorrow due to a dentist appointment in the morning (9.20am) do you think I should bother going hamleys straight after? I probs wont be there till 10:30am.

The Hamleys website says 'from 9.50 onwards'. Luke on twitter says 10.00.

If a good size crowd turns up, I should think he'll still be there at 10.30

I would think he might be still there at 10.30.You will prob know by twitter if he is still around.

I might bid myself

The likes have really gone up on FB nearly at 270k,not bad and the highest out of all the contestants this year .

It will be interesting to see how much they go up when he starts releasing music

Hopefully by lots

Forgot to say, did anyone catch Sam B on the Jonathan Ross show?

She said how she had sang at a Leicester City game at half time, and also sang at Twickenham. I was expecting her to say 'Luke was there too' but she never mentioned him

Yes I saw it ,I thought she might as well but I guess she didnt think of it,she looked a little stunned that she was on show.

His Mum said on Twitter he would be there about 20 minutes and it starts at 10:00 but if there is a big crowd I'm sure he will hang around.

Thanks guys ill still go Hamleys incase he is still there!

Im surprised we still havent heard record label news, I assume thid is because they wouldnt want him to rush release but work on his craft for a lone period

Yeah that's why I am glad he isn't releasing music in March like Sam and Nicholas which IMO I think is going to be a massive flop (Until proven wrong) , they have just hired songwriters to do it for them whereas Luke can spend time to write himself and will be 100x better, Imagine when his first music video comes out... omg

I wish I didn't have to go to work today....which is reasonably near Hamleys...I'd rather be there instead!!

Luke is a REAL ARTIST...in every sense of the word..that's why it's worth being in the long haul.....xx

I agree, they seem to be taking things slowly with him. We know he must have a deal (otherwise why would he have been in a recording studio?) - maybe they are waiting till after the XF tour to announce it?

I think he'll be gigging over the summer at various events, and we will see an album towards the end of the year. It will build up a sense of anticipation for it.

They might do as they did with JLS, and have a single out first, then have another single out ahead of the album later on.

Thank you to all you amazing people who came down to watch me open the amazing new addition to @HamleysToys store.

Sounds like it went well

It would be nice just to know that he has been signed and then everyone can relax and just wait for his music that will be totally RAD !
