Locals girls dreaming of Eurovision glory

Four local girls are eyeing Eurovision glory after being announced as one of five acts vying for a chance to represent Ireland in Vienna from the 19th to the 23rd of May.

‘Idyllic Dolls’ duo Una McGill and Hannah McCauley the have teamed up with sisters Edel and Clodagh Gribbin from ‘The Gribbin Girls’ and rapper Alex Saint to form Alex Saint and the MJs.

The five piece will perform the track, ‘She’s So Fine’ on ‘The Late Late Show’ on Friday 27th February.

The Idyllic Girls were approached to sing the song after performing a gig in Belfast.

“It all happened over the past couple of months; we performed in Belfast and then got a phonecall asking if we would like to sing on the song. We then met up with them and saw that The Gribbin Girls had been asked as well and then we met Alex (Saint). That is how our five piece Alex Saint and the MJs came about.

"I think the main thign we have taken from this is that you never know who is listening," Hannah told the County Derry Post.
