Ireland’s Eurovision hopefuls for 2023 Wild Youth are set to perform at a unique and exclusive event at Ballycotton’s magnificent entertainment venue Sea Church next month.

‘An Evening with Wild Youth’ is the first Eurovision themed gig at Sea Church, and audiences will get to see the band perform ‘We are One,’ the song selected for the competition, as well as many of their original songs, showcasing their style of rock, R&B and pop. The foursome will then host a Q&A session, and round off the night with a DJ set.

Wild Youth were formed in Dublin in 2016 and comprise Conor O’Donohoe (keyboards/vocals), Ed Porter (guitar/vocals), David Whelan (vocals/guitar), and Callum McAdam (drums). They’re known for catchy hits such ‘Can’t Move On’ and ‘Champagne Butterflies.’ Following a closely fought Eurosong contest which went down to a public vote, Wild Youth are now set to represent Ireland at the 67^th Eurovision with ‘We are One.’ The event takes place in Liverpool from May 9th to 13th, and the Irish delegation will be hoping to claim victory for the first time since 1996.

General Manager of Sea Church John Kidney is really looking forward to the event; “We are absolutely thrilled to host Wild Youth in March, and can’t wait for this fantastic evening. Audiences clearly love the band, as was evidenced by the results of the public vote on ‘The Late Late Show.’ The lads always put on a great show and the whole evening will be really special, and should whet the appetite ahead of the Eurovision Song contest in May.”

It’s shaping up to be a busy few months for Sea Church; a host of top Irish female performers will be on stage over February and March, including Mary Coughlan, Sharon Shannon, Róisín Ó and the Raines, while the venue will be one of the main hosts of the inaugural Ballycotton F.A.T Fest, a five day extravaganza of Folk and Alternative Trad music, over the May Bank Holiday weekend.
