Louis Looking For the Next Westlife...

ShowBizIreland.com is asking our readers if you fancy being part of the next Westlife or Boyzone?

Well if so you can audition for some of the industry's biggest names and perhaps be a part of the next Irish boyband.

Auditions will be held for Ireland's next international boy band on May 11th in the POD, Dublin starting at 11am.

A panel of Judges including Louis Walsh, Boyzone/Westlife Producer Ray Hedges, 2FM's Tony Fenton and singer Hazel Kaneswaran have been gathered together to select members for this new and exciting project.

Whereas Irish Popstars SIX was a mixed group, the lineup for the new band will be all male. Those auditioning must be aged between 18 and 24 and will be required to sing, without accompaniment, one of the following songs:

  • If You Come Back by Blue,
  • Flying Without Wings By Westlife,
  • or Garreth Gates current hit Unchained Melody

Ray Hedges, who has produced some of the biggest names in the business, is flying in for the auditions, and will produce the new act.

"Ireland has an undisputed track record for great pop acts and we feel the time is right for a new boy band", says Ray, "apart from great singers, there is also a great sense of character from Irish groups and that is an important part of their success."

Having produced such hit acts as Boyzone, Westlife and B*Witched he should know.

Louis Walsh shares Hedges enthusiasm for the group and will be acting as a consultant to the project. "I know there's another great group out there", enthuses Louis, "and this band will be the next big boy band from Ireland."

"This group will have the best opportunities available to a new group", says Manager Dermot McEvoy. "Already we have fantastic songs, a top producer and a great agent. They even have their first major concert booked for later in the Summer".
