A young musician said supporting Take That on their European tour was an “experience of a lifetime”.

Alfie Castley, from Mawsley, near Kettering, opened for the pop superstars in Germany, Denmark and Hungary in June and July.

The 20-year-old has already had more than 2.5 million views of his song Teenage Mona Lisa on YouTube.

He said, “When you get opportunities like this, you have to take them. And I think I did.”
