Niamh Kavanagh: More Than Just “In Your Eyes”

Before she stole the Eurovision crown, Niamh Kavanagh was handpicked by director Alan Parker from thousands of Dubliners to feature on The Commitments soundtrack and she hasn’t slowed down since. In this electric episode, Niamh shares the untold story of her iconic red Eurovision jacket, why she’ll always love the contest even if Ireland can’t seem to get over not winning, and how she juggled performing at the Grammys while still working in AIB. A powerhouse of talent and work ethic, Niamh opens up about her love of staying busy, staying grounded, and staying true to herself, spotlight or not. She even honoured us with a stunning snippet of In Your Eyes.... and sounds exactly like she did in 1993. Goosebumps !!
