Episode description

Our 'Journey to Eurosong' mini-series continues! We're building up to Eurosong 2024 as six fresh artists will be competing for the honour to represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. In this mini-series, Conor, Lou, and Alex will delve into the songs competing for your vote + they'll be chatting to the stars themselves ahead of the live show on January 26th.

In this episode, rock singer-songwriter AILSHA joins Conor and Alex to discuss her entry 'Go Tobann'. The makeup artist turned singer has gradually explored her songs becoming heavier and heavier. 'Go Tobann' pokes fun at how Irish people fail to continue speaking Irish into adulthood, and are left with basic phrases. This inspired her to write the song and now AILSHA is setting her sight on the Eurovision stage and hopes to represent Ireland in Malmö this May.
