Nicky Byrne will perform Ireland’s Eurovision 2016 entry Sunlight for the first time on The Ray D’Arcy Show this Saturday night.
The radio star, who has performed in arenas all over the world and has sold 45 million records as part of Westlife, will perform the tune co-written by himself, renowned songwriter Wayne Hector and award-winning composer Ronan Hardiman.
Commenting on his first live performance of the entry tomorrow night, he said: “We’ve been working really hard in rehearsals over the past few weeks and I can’t wait to perform in front of Ray’s live studio audience and everyone watching at home.
“I’m so thrilled to be representing Ireland at Eurovision in Stockholm this year. I’m looking forward to seeing how people react to the song – the feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive and the good luck wishes have been flooding in.”
Nicky and his team have been rehearsing all week and creating the look and feel for the performance in Stockholm in May. His creative team is lead by Tim Byrne, former Creative Director of Syco Entertainment at Sony Music including X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent.
The team also includes Lee Lodge whose production credits include the 2015 Oscars© and MTV Music Video Awards and has worked with One Direction, Coldplay and Robbie Williams.
Catch his performance on The Ray D’Arcy Show at 10.05pm on RTÉ One.
