Doran gets ‘fantastic response’ at Istanbul rehearsals

IRELAND’S Eurovision hopefuls are already turning heads in Istanbul and the reception Chris Doran and his backing group, Final Four, has been phenomenal.

The lads took to the stage for their first rehearsal late on Sunday evening and the response from the media and the other artists gathered in the Abdi Ipekci Stadium was incredible, said RTE's Dympna Clerkin.

"Chris got a fantastic response during the rehearsal from the fans and technical crews. The comments at the press conference afterwards were also very favourable."
