Few countries have as interesting of a Eurovision journey as Ireland: Once considered the land of the staid ballad throughout the 1990s, Ireland has undergone a musical metamorphosis in Eurovision courtesy of twin brothers: John & Edward.
We talked to Garrett of Eurovision Ireland about: Jedward, how an Ireland hit badly by the GFC could host Eurovision, whether the Irish language might make a comeback in Eurovision, and much more.
