Audiences in Ireland are set to see former Eurovision winner, Niamh Kavanagh, on stage once more.

Along with the band, The Illegals, Niamh Kavanagh will perform a string of hits by American rock groups The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. The new show is called Common Thread and can be seen at the MAC, Belfast, on 9 February, and at the Market Place Theatre, Armagh, on 27 April.

Niamh won the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest in Millstreet, with the song In your eyes, thus giving Ireland its 5th Eurovision victory and bringing back the contest back to Ireland in 1994 for a  2nd year in a row. Seventeen years after her victory, she was back at Eurovision in 2010 where she placed 23rd in the grand final in Oslo.
