There isn’t long to go until the 2018 Eurovision.
And fans of the signing competition definitely won’t want to miss the Late Late Show tonight, where the first live performance of Ireland’s song will take place.
Singer Ryan O’Shaughnessy, who previously appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, The Voice of Ireland, and The Hit, was announced as Ireland’s entry into the signing competition in January.
And following on the realise of the music video for the song, Together, last month, he will take to the stage on the Late Late Show tonight to play the song live for the first time.
He will also be joining Ryan Tubridy to take about going to Lisbon this year for the competition, as well as the controversy in Russia around his music video.
Elsewhere in the show, Ruby, Katie and Ted Walsh will be in the studio for their first joint TV interview since Ruby fell at Cheltenham last month.
He’ll be telling viewers about the frustration of falling and breaking his leg so soon after getting back in the saddle and Ted will reveal how it felt as a parent to see it happen.
Katie will recall what it was like to race to victory later that day, with her brother’s condition foremost in her mind. And we’ll be finding out if Katie fancies her chances of becoming the first woman to win the Grand National at Aintree.
Joe Brolly will also appear on the show, with the outspoken pundit discussing everything from the upcoming GAA Championship, growing up during The Troubles and seeing his father interned and his work as an advocate for cystic fibrosis patients.
Ryan will also be meeting Rachel Moran, who was coerced into prostitution in her early teens and spent seven years in the Dublin sex trade.
She campaigned strongly for a new law, brought in last year, to criminalise the buying of sex.
Tonight, she will discuss why she believes a failure to fully enforce this new law is making the sex trade more dangerous.
Also in studio are some of the people whose objects caught the eyes of the curators of National Treasures, a new television show that tells the tale of Ireland over the last century through the ordinary objects treasured by families up and down the country.
Dermot Higgins will be in studio to celebrate his cycle around the globe.
Music for tonight will be performed by Five Grand Stereo.
