Nicky has rehearsed for the first time and the Eurovision Ireland crew have been giving their opinions….  Let’s see what they have to say….

James – Ireland up now, and Nicky certainly knows how to command an arena! No gimmicks, no tricks, no silly costumes, just lighting that doesn’t steal the show and a good, solid vocal performance. This is sure to get the crowd going and Nicky’s affable personality comes across in bounds. Congratulations Nicky, you’ll certainly do Ireland proud!

John – Nicky has now rehearsed and it was a confident performance. It’s very lead singer and capable backing band sound which bounces along really nicely. Nicky catches the camera and does know what he’s doing. However, with a song about sunlight I was expecting to see more yellow or gold light, to go with the theme of the song. The people of Europe will – hopefully – like it enough to pick their phones up.

Bearing in mind it is a first rehearsal there is certainly things that can be improved on but, as has been said, if they tweak this then #teamnicky will do Ireland Proud!
