Westlife

 

Westlife are an Irish boy band established on 3 July 1998. The group's line-up comprises of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan. Brian McFadden, also one of the founding members, left the band in 2004. Westlife have sold over 44 million records worldwide which includes studio albums, singles, video release, and compilation albums. Active 1998-2012. ( 14 Years ) !

The boyband concept is designed to have different parts and roles. 

Filan, Feehily and McFadden (pre-departure) all took part on the main vocals while 

Byrne and Egan usually perform the backing vocals and very occasional solos in songs up to the recent date.

 

These are the classifications on vocal abilities: 

Filan has 'the popular tune' (mid-range to high voice) and thus sings the tenor-like melody most often, whereas  

Feehily has 'the soulful voice' and can go from quite low baritone notes through to a very high tenor voice. He sometimes sings falsetto. 

Byrne has 'the husky voice' and can sing high harmonies effortlessly, while 

Egan has 'the rocky voice' and usually does low harmonies.

Instruments 

Westlife's main key instruments are their vocals. However some of them can play musical instruments, most notably Egan who plays piano, drums and guitar (he can be seen playing piano in the videoclip for "Angel"), and Feehily also plays piano. During their gigs and concert tours, they are accompanied by a band, acoustic and rock, and do not usually play instruments onstage.
