Before the Opening Ceremony began, we were lucky enough to chat to TikTok stars and five-piece band, Here at Last. Band mates Pedro, Tommy, James, Zach and Ryan said “we’ve never done an event like this before”.

The boys already had sizeable followings on TikTok as solo acts and currently have 2.5 million followers as a band. To them, music has always been a big part of their life and their followers are going crazy for it. Their singing challenge alone has had 38 million views.

When asked about how they came up with the name Tommy said, “I always have to answer this question”. He explained that it came to him like a vision, almost as if it was fate. After talking it over with the rest of the boys they all agreed that there was no other name to match it.

When asked what their favorite thing about performing James said “hearing the fans sing your lyrics back to you is a feeling that can’t be explained, unless you’ve experienced it before that is”.

This is my first Poacher. I grew up on the Isle of Lewis but now live up in Dundee where I help at my local Guide Unit. I was a member of both Girlguiding and Scouting growing up, as my dad is a Scout leader and my mum a Guide leader. I can speak fluent Gaelic and did Highland Dancing from age 5 until I broke my legs at age 13 and my favourite colour is red.
