John and Edward showed why they’re everybody’s favourite twins on Saturday with a brilliant performance at Guilfest, in Guilford, England.  Starting with Happens in the Dark, closely followed by their new song, Free Spirit, the Twins defied the scorching heat and led the increasingly large crowd through a total of 11 songs – going a bit over time at each end to bring the whole show to just under an hour. Apologies to The Fureys, who followed Jedward’s performance…

Although I suspect Guilfest had thought they’d hired a novelty act, and the mums and dads and small children may have been slightly bemused at first, when the Jedward they had come to see turned out not to be the bouncy XFactor twins but instead a grown up, mature duo…everyone soon came around and got into the mood for a good time.

My teenage daughter came to Guilfest with me. …
