THE ALL IRELAND TALENT SHOW

On New Years eve at 6.30pm The All Ireland Talent Show launches its first live studio heat - the first 5 acts, representing their 5 regions and 5 judges will go into battle to try and secure the first coveted semi final place in this year’s competition. With reigning champ, Daithi O Se, convinced that the West will do the double this year, every judge is itching to showcase their talented acts and take the title for themselves and their region this year. Everyone is most certainly in it to win it.

Then at 11.35pm the second instalment of the show will reveal the first act of the series to secure that all important place in the semi finals and in doing so take one step closer to winning the grand prize of €50,000. Before the reveal, there are some New Year’s Eve treats in store, as some of our judges take to the stage themselves, accompanied by their finalists from series one with a few ‘surprising’ party pieces. Which judge will step up and take centre stage, who will be joining them and what special performance do they have up their sleeves?

The countdown to midnight will also include a spectacular performance, featuring all six of last year’s finalists, including the Mulkerrin Brothers. Plus presenter Grainne Seoige will be joined by other special guests for the evening that’s in it.

Outside Broadcast of the show is facilitated by Observe with Post Production taking place at Screen Scene.

Catch it from 6.30pm on RTÉ1 on New Years Eve.
