Music manager and TV personality Louis Walsh is on the hunt for the next Westlife or Girls Aloud, with plans for a new Irish band.
The former X Factor judge announced that he is holding auditions for a new boyband and girlband at Vicar Street in Dublin in late November. Walsh has managed numerous bands and pop acts over the years, from Boyzone to Jedward.
Walsh said
“Because of Covid guidelines and indeed the talent that we all see and hear every day online, I am asking people to send me a sample of them performing – or a link to their social account where we can find them.
How do you apply to audition?
You're asked to record a short video clip of yourself singing and email it to [email protected].
Applications will be open until Friday, November, 12th with performers aged between 16 and 21 asked to apply.
Walsh added "we will then call back finalists for a live audition. There is so much great talent here in Ireland and I’m really looking forward to the next few weeks."
