Swing band the Jack Pack sailed through the semi finals of talent show Britain's Got Talent (BGT) at the weekend.

Andrew Bourne, from Ickenham, is one of the four singers in the group which styles itself as a modern day Rat Pack.

On Saturday, his swing band performed Frank Sinatra’s My Way in the live semi-final and BGT boss Simon Cowell praised them for their “good voices”.

If successful in this Saturday's live final, the group will win £250,000 and a slot in the Royal Variety Performance where they will sing in front of the Queen.

"The day was really crazy," said the father-of-two, who was on his way to perform on This Morning with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby when the Gazette spoke to him.

"Up and down emotions, pressure, tiredness, adrenaline.

"It was phenomenal, it was amazing. The end was just incredible."

Andrew, who attended Vyners School in Warren Road, says they were all really happy with their performance of the classic song.

"I actually forgot we were in a competition. I was elated and just thought that was it," said the 32-year-old.

"Getting to the semi final was the aim and to do a good performance in the semi final was the ultimate aim. We'd had a great performance.

"Then we were ushered in to an area with all the other acts contestants and it dawned on us that we were in a competition."

The boys had an hour to kill before the results were announced.

"We were the last act to perform. We took a few minutes to relax and I saw my mum and wife. It was so nice to see them.," he said.

"Then we were put in position and had to wait for Ant and Dec to finish their bit."

The group stood on stage with dancing granny Paddy and 15-year-old singer songwriter Bailey McConnell to hear their results.

"Paddy has had over 20million YouTube hits and Bailey has something like 50,000 Twitter followers," said Andrew.

"You start analysing these things. My first thought was that Paddy would go through on the public vote and the judges would choose between Bailey and us."

But the group had won the public's heart and had gained the most votes, giving them an automatic pass to the final.

"It was really emotional. There's a hideous shot of me looking like a five-year-old bursting in to tears.

"We'd spoken about how to conduct ourselves but that went out of the window."

Now the group have the mammoth challenge of picking a song to top My Way, a song Andrew says is close to all their hearts.

"It was played at my grandad's funeral and it's Alfie's dad's favourite song, who isn't very well.

"We thought 'go massive' - there's nothing more iconic and epic than My Way. How do you beat that?"

They will start rehearsals this afternoon (Monday May 2).

"We've got some serious discussions to have today," he said.

"We've got four people's decisions to consider when we're deciding on a song. We'll have to go for a majority vote. We've got a song in the bag which we may do but we might go for something more light hearted and swingier.

"The producers are amazing with advice and help, they're not pushy."

Andrew could not tell me anymore about the song choices. Hillingdon will have to tune in and find out.

The Jack Pack will go up against Paddy and Nico, who were saved by the judges' vote in Saturday's show, and eight other acts.

The final will be shown on ITV on Saturday at 7pm.

"I can't believe I've got to do it all over again," he added.
