Dervish to give Eurosong shortlist a spin

A panel of judges, including former Eurovision winner Shay Healy, the managing director of Universal Music Ireland Dave Pennefather, broadcaster Larry Gogan, and singer Eleanor Shanley, have whittled down the final four songs from more than 200 entries. The songs will be performed by the six-piece Sligo-based band on the Late Late Show — Eurosong 2007 on Friday, February 16.

The public will decide which song will represent Ireland at the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki in May.
