A Cork musician diagnosed with cervical cancer will enter a song for the Eurovision this week about rebirth, hope and new beginnings.

The song Béal Tine, or ‘mouth of fire’, has strong Celtic and tribal roots and features musicians and composers Victoria Keating and Aine O Gorman, piano, strings, tin whistle, banjo and a choir.
