One Directioners in East Kilbride could be in for the best night ever when a Glasgwegian tribute to the world’s biggest boy band comes to town.

One and Only Direction are set to perform at the Village Theatre on Saturday, September 13.

And the boys promise to deliver pop mega stars’ One Direction’s greatest hits at the gig.

The group were formed earlier this year by Lanarkshire man Scott Garvie (29), who runs a tribute act agency.

It took him around a year to select the guys who make up the tribute act, as he wanted a band who looked as close to the real group as possible.

However, he got more than he bargained for earlier this year, when two of the quintet – Richard Dickson and Liam Fergusson, who are Harry Styles and Niall Horan in the tribute act – were mistaken for the real deal when One Direction played at Murrayfield.

Scott said: “A lot of people thought this was a publicity stunt, but Richard and Liam really had just bought tickets to go and enjoy the show.

“They were being asked for pictures by girls before they went in, and it was just chaos when they went into the actual stadium – girls really thought they were the real One Direction and everything started kicking off. They were swamped. Security ended up taking them away because of how wild it was getting.”

Scott reckons One and Only Direction are as close to the real band as possible. He added: “They’re great lookalikes, but they can sing really well too, and hit all the harmonies required.

“Ever since we put them together they’ve got on really well, and that comes across when you see them perform. The reaction so far has been great.”

Tickets for the gig are priced at £12/£10 and £15 for a meet and greet with the boys backstage.
