G4's Ben pays thanks to Salisbury Arms

G4 have gone a long way since finishing as runners up in The X Factor talent show.

Their operatic rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody has helped their album, also cunningly called G4, reach the top of the album charts.

But it seems they've taken Cambridge pub, the Salisbury Arms with them.

On the CD sleeve, the new fab four have written thank-you messages to rival those heard on over-wrought Oscar night.

There, in amongst godmother, sister and National Youth Choir, Ben Thapa thanks "all at the Salisbury Arms, Cambridge, for the job, beer, laughs and support when it was most needed."

It seems that Ben, 23, worked at the Charles Wells tenanted pub for more than three years, starting in the restaurant and moving into the bar when he was old enough.

Licensee Gill Jones said: "Ben was a schoolfriend of my son and they both spent some years working in the pub.

"He was an all-round good guy and a very reliable worker and, having heard him singingin the kitchen, it's great to see the success that he's achieving now.

"All the customers voted for G4 during The X-Factor and Ben still keeps in touch and visits when he's at home."

And we thought it was Steve Brookstein who was the pub singer!
