Johnny Logan says he 'might think about' another go at Eurovision
The Australian-Irish singer-songwriter has won the song contest two times as a singer, and a third time as a songwriter.
In 1980, he won with What's Another Year and seven years later won again for Hold Me Now. His song Why Me? won in 1992, as sung by fellow Irish star Linda Martin.

Appearing on Nicky Byrne's podcast, Nicky Byrne HQ this week, the 71-year-old didn't rule out a third go at the Eurovision as a singer.
A clip from the podcast shared to social media saw Nicky commend Johnny for giving the Irish public 'so many memories.'
'I'd love to see ya for the 40th anniversary of Hold Me Now do something for Ireland,' Nicky said, 'I'm not going to put it out there — well, I am putting it out there into the atmosphere because sometimes that works that you will dream up that song that's half-written and do it for somebody or you do it or somebody and have that magic we'll go one more time.'

Nicky added that it would a 'hat trick' with Johnny responding: 'Give me an orchestra and I might think about it.'
As well as composing Why Me? for Linda Martin in 1992, the musician wrote her song Terminal 3, which was the song she entered the competition with in 1984.
Last year, Eurovision fans were treated to a surprise performance from Logan, who sang a rendition of Loreen's Euphoria.
The Swedish singer-songwriter is also a two-time Eurovision winner, having won with Euphoria in 2012 and with Tattoo in 2023.
Having her say on Johnny's performance, Loreen told the PA news agency at the time: 'The first thing that hit me was like this is a really hard song to sing… what's he going to do?
'Oh, not like how is he going to do? How's he going to make it? Not like that, more like how is he going to interpret the song? How is he gonna make it his own, which he did.'
The second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 takes place tonight, Thursday, May 15 from 8pm on RTÉ 2.

The sound of the hills — Donegal fiddling strikes back
AN IRISH traditional music expert once scathingly dismissed Donegal music by describing it as not only Scottish music, but bad Scottish music. Ciarán Ó Maonaigh's new solo album, Lost in the Music/Caillte sa Cheol , demolishes that view — if it even continues to be held anywhere. With the success of Altan, Clannad and Tommy Peoples and Paddy Glackin, the fiddlers with The Bothy Band, it's difficult to see how anyone could disparage the music from this corner of Ulster. Donegal fiddling — Donegal traditional music — has of course been influenced by Scottish music, as has the whole of traditional music in Ireland, although much less so the further south you go. The converse is also true: Irish music has hugely influenced Scottish music, and of course this is exactly as you would expect with two Celtic countries so close to each other — at their nearest points there is only eleven miles of sea separating the two areas, and migration between the two islands has long been a part of the fabric of the society. However, Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann — a body which has done an incalculable service in preserving and fostering Irish music — was once subject to regular bouts of what more or less amounted to xenophobia; although to be fair, sometimes with good reason, when the music was struggling to recover from all types of opposition. Ciarán Ó Maonaigh's new album, Lost in the Music/Caillte sa Cheol , continues his focus on Donegal's fiddle tradition As Irish music came to be codified under CCE from the 1960s onward, the organisation often favoured a southern Irish style in its structured sessions and competitions. This sometimes conflicted with regional traditions like Donegal's, which drew heavily on its Scottish-influenced repertoire. This included using lower strings as drone notes — echoing the drone note on the bagpipes; the Scottish 'snap' (a short, accented note followed by a longer one); and the use of double stops — that is, playing two-note chords on the fiddle. The Donegal style, like much of Scottish fiddling, is an energetic style, often using a 'short' bow. The Donegal tradition, shaped by close geographical ties with Scotland and the Ulster-Scots, includes many tunes such as the 'highlands' (similar to the Scottish strathspeys), with Scottish origins — although perhaps originating in the first place in Ireland. But at formal Comhaltas sessions, such music was sometimes disparaged as un-Irish and much frowned upon. Donegal musicians, including respected players, reportedly faced antagonism when bringing their repertoire to Comhaltas venues — highlighting a deliberate suppression of their distinct style. This was a move strenuously resisted in Donegal where the playing of 'highlands' is still one of the glories of the tradition. Ciarán Ó Maonaigh's new solo album, Lost in the Music/Caillte sa Cheol , continues his focus on Donegal's fiddle tradition. Joined by guitarist and co-producer Seán Óg Graham, Ó Maonaigh explores both archival material and personal interpretation, blending tradition with innovation. Ó Maonaigh, grandson of Francie Mooney and nephew of Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh of Altan, has long been immersed in the Donegal style. This second solo release follows his 2004 album Ceol a' Ghleanna , and showcases his maturing voice. From the outset, the album pays tribute to legends like Tommy Peoples, John Doherty, and Néilidh Boyle. The opening set of reels includes layered fiddle lines and rhythmic foot percussion from his wife and musical partner Caitlín Nic Gabhann, evoking the energy of classic Donegal duets. Throughout the album, Ó Maonaigh balances fidelity to source material with inventive arrangements. In tracks like The Rakes of Clonmel and Nóra Críonna , he captures the piping influence in Donegal fiddle through ornamentation and bowing technique. Guitar accompaniments, especially in The Repeal of the Union , build a dynamic texture reminiscent of the Bothy Band's signature sound. A few tracks veer into more experimental territory. Graham's use of layered guitar and synths on Elizabeth Kelly's and Palm Sunday adds a new atmosphere, though some listeners may find the production less in keeping with the rest of the album's traditional tone. In contrast, the high-octane sets Creamers/Píobaire an Chéididh and The Blackberry Blossom/Kitty Gone a Milking showcase tight ensemble interplay and sharp rhythmic lift. New compositions round out the album. Ó Maonaigh contributes Rosie from Donegal , while Caitlín Nic Gabhann's St. Brigid's Day and Liam O'Connor's strathspey Frankie's Frolics highlight a living, evolving tradition. Ó Maonaigh also tackles technically demanding pieces like Mamore Gap and hornpipes drawn from Seán Maguire and John Doherty. The closing track, a live recording of Kitty O'Neill's Champion Jig , connects back to Tommy Peoples and reflects the Donegal flair for reinvention. With piano from Liam Ó Maonlaí, the track ties together the themes of homage and personal style that run through the album. This confident, thoughtful release confirms Ó Maonaigh's standing as both tradition-bearer and innovator, offering a rich listening experience and a blueprint for the next generation of Donegal fiddlers.

I think people are just being jerks when they say they can't understand what [Irish people] are saying. It's very clear,' with Stephen interjecting 'I don't even care what they're saying, it sounds like singing to me when they just talk.' Jenna even got to have the most Irish experience ever, saying 'I remember it was so weird when I went there I didn't even like Guinness or anything like that — I hate beer — and by the end [of filming], I was singing in a pub at two in the morning with a group of people I had never met before.' Jenna Ortega has opened up about filming Wednesday in Ireland — including her assessment of Guinness, the weather and the Irish accent. Pic: Netflix Stephen summed up Guinness pretty well, in fairness; joking to Jenna, it's like a loaf of bread in a cup' — with Jenna agreeing, saying 'that's what my friend says, she says it's like a sandwich in a glass.'

Irish singer George Murphy reveals ‘cheeky' request that led to love with partner
George Murphy reveals how he met the love of his life The Dublin singer and songwriter also tells how he regards buying his own home as his biggest personal achievement. He talks about his plans to marry — and reveals the 'cheeky' request that led to love with his partner Fiona. As he starts rehearsals for an Irish tour, George says he's juggling the demands of a hectic showbiz career with parenthood. His home in Kilmore on Dublin's northside chimes with the sound of children. George and Fiona have two daughters together, Anna (2) and one-year-old Caít. George Murphy 'I also have a 12-year-old daughter, Lily, and Fiona has a 19-year-old son, Dillon, from previous relationships,' George says. 'There's a lot going on. The two-year-old and one-year-old are keeping us very, very busy on top of everything else. 'Mammy is back to work now as well, so it's just a lot. But we're trying to strike a balance, even though it's not always easy, especially with the tour dates. Read more 'But Fiona is amazing. We are engaged now and planning to get married — I'll be giving away my independence on Independence Day, the fourth of July next year. 'We have been together now for 10 years. We met at a gig… she came up and asked me for a photograph, and I cheekily said, 'I'll give you a photograph if you give me your number.' That's how it happened and that was 10 years ago now. 'Fiona is from Kilmore where we are living now. We're just around the corner from her family home. I come from Beaumont, so we're lucky that when days come that neither of us can be around we have a family support network and we are very grateful for that.' Although Fiona is not in the music industry, George says she helps out on the business side of his career. George with his daughter Lily 'She's brilliant at the admin side of things. She's helped me with online stuff and she's very good at sales, she's come out with me on the tour and sold merchandise and helped me with the promotional side of things.' Looking back on his first public performances on You're A Star, George, who struggled in the aftermath of the reality TV talent show, says: 'Everybody has a start and that was mine. I was only a baby at 17 back then. I'm not ashamed of it, or I don't shy away from talking about it at all. But it just feels distant history at this stage.' The folk and ballad singer signed to Sony Music, but got dropped after two albums. He went to America to try his luck and was building his reputation playing in the bars and clubs of New York with his band. When he came home to Ireland to renew his visa, George's then partner discovered that she was pregnant and they decided to stay here. 'That was a tough time in my life because I knew that I was very soon going to have a baby to mind and to raise,' George tells me. 'I was in me mam and me dad's box room because I didn't have any gigs at first and I didn't have anything coming up on the horizon. 'But a baby on the way was a motivational factor and a kick up the backside to dust myself down and kind of get stuck in and start taking myself seriously as a musician because that was the route of work I was going to go down. 'It has taken a bit of time but, thankfully, I've climbed my way back up the ladder and it has been more rewarding this time around than maybe it was first time around.' His band, George Murphy & The Rising Sons, who blend trad, folk and rock 'n' roll, are now in demand for live shows and have enjoyed critical acclaim for their debut album. George with The Dubliners One of the main measures of success for him today is the fact that he was able to purchase a family home. 'I've bought my own home and that's probably the proudest thing I've ever done,' George says. 'When I was in my mam and dad's box room and things were bleak I could never see that I was going to get to a position where I would have enough money to put a down payment on a house and have my own family home that I would raise my children in, especially with the price of houses in Dublin.' George now writes and releases original songs, one of which, Dublin Inspires, a tribute to his native city, has overtaken the success of his cover of Raglan Road. He adds: 'What was given to me first time around in You're A Star, as brilliant as it was and although I enjoyed it and have the memories, it was false in terms of the fact that my career was never going to have longevity or sustainability because it was built on something that is very fickle. 'I feel now after 20 years of digging in and getting stuck into it I've finally done the hard graft and the rewards this time around feel like I've earned them as opposed to them being given to me.'
