A Carlow man is in contention to represent Ireland at this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

Six hopeful acts will perform for the public on tonight's Late Late Show, hoping to win the Eurosong.

Among the hopefuls are Louis Walsh's newest boyband Next in Line, who have a very strong South East connection.

Neug Kelly, one-fifth of the band, hails from Carlow Town and is joined by four other singers from Meath and Dublin.
