Cool Chris takes off to Turkey

EUROVISION hopeful Chris Doran was as cool, calm and collected as ever as he left Dublin for Istanbul at the weekend for a week of rehearsals ahead of Saturday night’s final.

But the same could certainly not be said for backing singer, Lee Kearney, one of the lads from Final Four. It was Lee’s first flight and though fellow band members, Martin Cosgrave, Peter O’Shaughnessy, Alan Foran, were all looking forward to the flight, he wasn’t.

“I’m grand, I just want to get out there now, get rehearsing and get up on that stage and do my best on Saturday night,” said Doran, whose song If The World Stops Turning has topped the charts.
