They may not be in the X Factor competition any longer but the MacDonald Brothers don’t intend on giving up on music any time soon.

The boys are having a meeting with their X Factor mentor Louis Walsh to discuss what their future may hold.

Last night, Brian said: “Louis is going to speak to us in the week, then we will have a better idea of what the future holds.

“We still don’t know if we will be offered a management deal with him but we know, if not, he’ll still point us in the right direction.

“He’s become a great friend and we hope we can continue to work with him.

“We hope the public has time for us and that we can have a career.

“This is just the beginning. I don’t have a clue what the future holds but we will work hard and try our best to live up to people’s expectations.

“For a first single, we would need something famous, that represented us as people.

“We don’t know if we have that option yet but Louis will hopefully have some good news.”
