TG4 participated in the Junior Eurovision last year - Aimee Banks finishing 12th of 17 with "Réalta na Mara". Remember?
For this year's search, they've invited a few guest judges from Ireland's (adult) Eurovision past - including John and Edward, Sandie Jones, *ahem* Linda Martin and *ahem* Dustin.

Like "Réalta na Mara", the song sent will be in the first official language - so I presume all the GJs have cúpla focal. Sandie certainly does, anyway...

Good jaysus, is this what my licence fee is funding...etc.I'm partial to your abracadabra
I'm raptured by the joy of it all0 -
I loved last weeks effort, to be honest.
Paul McCartney interview, 3 football songs, Steve Archibald performing twice and being interviewed - epic !!
That episode was rather... special
I usually watch these a week or so in arrears, so the rest of yiz's one-liners will only make sense (if they do) when I catch up
Sadly I think it's already too late for my fave early 80s band The Beat to make an appearance. 1 telly in the house and we weren't actually allowed to watch TOTP at the time, so I can't remember if they did. Videos like "Mirror In The Bathroom" were seen for the first time years later...
A bit later we somehow cadged a B/W portable to use my Spectrum on. On Sunday afternoons this meant we could watch MTUSA in spectacular monochrome-o-vision. Livin' the life, urban Ireland 80s style.I'm partial to your abracadabra

You had it tough?
I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."
But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.0 -
Boy George's 1970s: Save Me from Suburbia very enjoyable, I feel like I was there such is the number of anecdotes by those who grew up on Bowie, Bolan, Roxy etc on BBc Four these days! Still, if you weren't being spat at and racially abused while sat in the dark queuing for petrol it was a great decade 0

Just watched the Boy George documentary myself, great stuff! You could argue that Bowie is the most influential artist of all time, even more than The Beatles.0 -
