Glen Hansard's nieces wow judges on The Voice Ireland

Sisters Amy and Sinead Hansard, took to the stage hoping to follow in their famous uncles footstep and will now go through head-to-head in the battle stages.

Amy and Sinead Hansard, nieces of Oscar-winning musician Glen Hansard have wowed judges on this year’s Voice of Ireland.

The sisters took to the stage hoping to follow in their famous uncles footsteps and after a great response from the judges they will now both go head-to-head in the battle stages.

First up was Sinead, 23, singing her own version of Mr Probz’s ‘Waves’, which quickly impressed Irish judge Una Foden.

“That was great. I had to push that button. I think you will be amazing in the battles, welcome to Team Una,” The Saturdays star said.

Amy then sang a cover of Ariana Grande’s ‘Problem’ which impressed Brezzie and S Club 7’s Rachel Stevens.

“It would have been very awkward if you hadn’t gone through. I love that vocal, it’s vulnerable, it’s not perfect and I really love that to mould and work on,” Bressie said to the 18-year-old.

Although Amy decided she wanted to join Team Rachel instead.

Amy and Sinead have both performed with their Frames’ frontman uncle in the past, a talent that clearly runs in the family.

Here’s a clip of Amy on stage in Vicar Street in 2012:
