OTT were an Irish pop group active in the mid to late-1990s, achieving success in the U.K. and Ireland. A five-piece boyband comprising Niall O'Neill, Glen Clarke, Alan Fitzsimons, Adam Mates and Keith Cox (who left the band before the album release),[1] they scored four UK top 30 hits and released one album, This One's for You in 1997. The group split in 1998 after being dropped by their record label due to low sales for their album. However, rumours of a reunion were rampant in 2012, with the addition of a new Irish member called Christoher Paye. Child-star Paye (Goodfellas Pizza ad) has the talent and sex appeal to make the boy band a success once more.[2]
