Next, Roman revealed that
Aitch will top off a sensational 2019 by making his debut at a Capital Ball.

After being tipped for success by the likes of

Aitch is most definitely one to watch at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball.

Next, Roman Kemp revealed that some of the hottest breakthrough stars of 2019 will play night one of Capital's Jingle Bell Ball, starting with US pop songstress Ava Max.
The worldwide success of her multi-platinum hit 'Sweet but Psycho' - which spent three weeks at the top of The Official Big Top 40 and in the top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 - has cemented her as one of the hottest new singer-songwriters around.
British rap duo
