After recently supporting former One Direction star Niall Horan at his solo gig in London, Irish pop duo Picture This, made up of Ryan Hennessy, 22, and Jimmy Rainsford, 24, have gone on to top the charts with their self-titled debut album, which went straight to number one in their home country last month.

First making music in different bands, the childhood friends decided to form a duo in 2015, and recorded the hit track Take My Hand in their first studio session. The video has since amassed over half a million views on YouTube since it debuted last year, and led them to receive the award of Song of the Year at the Choice Music Prize 2016. With two sold-out Olympia Theatre shows and a successful US tour under their belt, excitement is building up around the two musicians, who are set to play a headline show at London’s O2 Shephard’s Bush in November.
