First the Kaiser Chiefs, now the next big boy band View GalleryBy Suzanne McTaggart MUSIC teachers at St Mary's school in Menston have a lot to be proud of. First, they developed the talents of the Kaiser Chiefs, one of the country's best loved bands . Now another former student is set to storm the charts with his boy band, Billiam. Hunky singer Jordan McPhee left the school in 2004 to pursue a music career and since joining Billiam in 2006 the band is slowly but surely climbing the ladder of success. Billiam's debut single Beautiful Ones was released on Monday and earlier this year the boys supported Westlife on their UK tour an experience described by 22-year-old Jordan as "amazing". They also made a few hundred new fans when Jordan returned to perform at his old school in Leeds yesterday alongside band mates Stephen Dunham, Jazz Rocket and Gee McArthur. "We're an all-singing, all-dancing band," Jordan said. "We're touring with Westlife and Girls Aloud next year so we're really happy with that. Touring with Westlife was amazing, you shout at the crowd and they roar back at you. It's weird to be back at St Mary's but it's really good. It's a bit of a buzzing feeling." The lads from Westlife are not the band's only celebrity connections – Gee is currently dating former Big Brother housemate Kara-Louise Horne. "It's only recently come out so it feels a bit weird talking about it but they are dating," Jordan said. "Things are going really well for the band at the moment, we have two albums in the pipeline and we've been compared to Take That in the early years which is obviously a great compliment." Mhari Keith, music teacher at St Mary's, said: "He didn't take music GCSE but he was a member of bands within the school. We're all very proud of the musical talent we have here at St Mary's."
