Firm owned by Westlife records a loss

The main entertainment company owned by Westlife recorded a loss last year in spite of extensive touring by the band.

Last month, the four-piece secured their last big pay day as Westlife when they played their last ever concert before more than 80,000 fans at Croke Park after a 14-year career that saw them sell 44m records that included 14 UK No 1 singles and seven chart-topping albums.

Last year, the quartet, Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, and Mark Feehily — toured extensively on their Gravity Tour.
