The Loveable Rogues were a London-based British musical group consisting of members Sonny Jay, Eddie Brett, and Te Qhairo Eugene. They rose to fame after making it to the finals of the sixth season of Britain's Got Talent in 2012.

2010–12: Participation in Britain's Got Talent

In 2012, the Loveable Rogues auditioned for Britain's Got Talent, showcasing original compositions "Lovesick" and "Honest," which received positive feedback from both the judges and the audience. Already supported by a dedicated following, they ultimately secured fourth place in the final, garnering 5.7% of the public vote, trailing behind winners Ashleigh and Pudsey as well as runners-up Jonathan & Charlotte and Only Boys Aloud.

2012–13: Signing with Record Label and First Things First

On 12 June 2012, the group revealed their contract with record company Syco Music. Later that year, they distributed a complimentary mixtape titled First Things First on SoundCloud, featuring original songs such as "What A Night," "Maybe Baby," "Talking Monkeys," and "Honest," along with covers including "Charmless Man" and "I Wanna Be The Only One."

The official music video for their debut single "What a Night" was released on 19 February 2013, with the single itself becoming available on 21 April 2013.

2012–13: Supporting Olly Murs

In November 2012, it was announced that Loveable Rogues would serve as the opening act for Olly Murs' 2013 Right Place Right Time arena tour, which featured two sold-out performances at London's The O2 Arena. Their live repertoire included standout tracks like "Talking Monkeys," "Honest," "Lovesick," "Sweet Lovin'," and "What a Night."
