✨ PERFORMING AT HERTS PRIDE 2026 – JAYMI HENSLEY ✨

We’re thrilled to welcome Jaymi Hensley to Herts Pride 2026! 🌈🎤

Jaymi rose to fame as a member of Union J, who captured the nation’s attention after finishing fourth on The X Factor in 2012 before going on to release two studio albums.

Since then, Jaymi has built an impressive career spanning music, television and theatre. His TV appearances have included Celebrity MasterChef, Celebrity Coach Trip and Got What It Takes?, while in 2019 he took on the iconic title role in the UK tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Jaymi later joined the line-up of Hits Radio Pride, the UK’s first national LGBTQ+ radio station, and became a part-time member of drag group Queenz in 2022.

More recently, he has performed internationally aboard some of the world’s largest cruise liners, entertaining thousands of music fans around the world.

Now we’re delighted to have him performing right here in Hertfordshire! ❤️
