Rock band Chapter 13 won not just the heart of Amanda Holden – and her Golden Buzzer – but the heart of the nation in episode 6 of Britain’s Got Talent (Saturday, March 11th).

The rock group all met whilst working on the West End production of School of Rock and are bound to make you feel old, as already their resumés are more impressive and full than most adults…

So who are the boys behind Chapter 13?

Here is everything you need to know the band and how they’re unbelievably talented beyond their years!

Noah appeared as Freddy, the drummer, in the stage show of School of Rock.

But he has also made many other appearances on the West End, including Elf and the X-Factor spoof musical, I Can’t Sing.

We bet Simon Cowell would be intrigued to see him reprise his role in the latter!
