Eton Road possibly named after a road in West Derby, Liverpool, the city from which this band are made from are made up of lead, Anthony Hannah along with Daniel Morris, David Heath and James Edwards. They all got together as a band when they attended dance school and having been performing in public for some time. Eton Road have had a rocky road progressing through the initial stages of The X Factor having first been informed by mentor, Louis Walsh that they were not through to the live shows. However since fellow band, Avenue were disqualified for not having disclosed a current management deal, the boys of Eton Road were provided their much desired opportunity to take up the vacant place on the live shows stage of the competition.

ANTHONY is a 17-year old student. He was born in Liverpool and lives at home with family. He has three sisters and one brother. He has had the chance to sing with Pop Idol icon, Gareth Gates on BBC's 'The Saturday Show'. Having troubled with forgotten lyrics and a slip up on his singing, it was no deterrent to Louis to put this band through after Avenue were disqualified.

DANIEL is a 17-year old student also born in Liverpool with one brother. He previously appeared alongside entertainer, Michael Barrymore at St. George's Hall and is a fluent player of piano and guitar.

DAVID is 19 and is Liverpool born. He is a student and has one sister. David has been performing in public for some time. One uncle of his featured in a band called 'Easy Beats'.

JAMES is 20 years old and a student, born in Liverpool. He lives across the Mersey in Birkenhead and has one brother. A fluent dancer, James has been performing for some time.

Q&As
What would winning The X Factor mean to you?
Dan says “I think I speak for the whole band by saying it’s what you dream of and as you grow older you want it even more and you do what you can to achieve it. James adds “In a word it would be fantastic!” All the boys would buy houses for their families if they won. David says “I‘d give my Mum and Dad something because they’ve worked so hard for me.” And Anthony says “I would put my Gran into a fabulous house because she’s 71 and she’s been an absolute rock. And I’d also love to buy a chihuahua for company and some designer clobber.”

What are you most looking forward to about the live shows?
David says “I just want to get started now. I want to learn new songs and I want to show our talent and what Eton Road can do. We’ve got so much more to give and want to show what we’re made of.” James adds “I just want to knuckle down, get songs rehearsed and give 150%!”

What will you miss most about moving away from home?
Dan says “At home you’ve got your family around you and if you’ve got any problems you can talk to them so I’ll miss them.” And James adds “I’ll miss my family and friends but I think we’ll be that busy we won’t have time to think about anything else. They’ll only be a phone call away.” David says “My Mum and Dad are just over the moon. They’re so proud, they can’t believe it.”

Do you have a musical family?
Dan says “My family say that I’m very distantly related to George Harrison. I think my Nan’s brother or cousin or someone was related to him. Anthony says “Apparently my Great Grandad was a really big jazz singer in Liverpool so I’m really starting to get into jazz.” And David says “All of my Mum’s side play musical instruments and sing because their Dad used to be in a band. My Mum’s cousins are actresses so we are a very musical family.”

What was your favourite subject at school?
Anthony says “Music definitely. I wasn’t very academic. It was all about singing for me.” James says, “Art, cooking and PE. I’d like to cook for everyone in the house.”

What was your worst or best job?
Anthony says “I worked in a hairdressers’ once and didn’t earn very much money. I did get a couple of free haircuts though. And James says “I once worked in a pharmaceutical factory for eight hours a day which was tedious.”

When did you realise you could sing?
Dan says “When I was a young boy. It’s always been something I’ve wanted to do.” David says “I’ve always liked dancing but then I went to dancing school and realised I could sing so started singing as well. But James was a later developer. He says “When I went to college and started harmonising. I was more drama based. It just sort of happened. It was never really an ambition of mine. Until now!”

What are you’re musical influences?
Dan’s are Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. David says, “I love Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Whitney and Lionel Richie.” And Anthony says “I love Will Young. He doesn’t crave attention it’s all about the music. I like his style and I love his voice.”
