It is with regret we inform you that Liz McClarnon will no longer be taking part in the Ronan Keating Tour, due to start on 18th February 2010. This is due to unforeseen circumstances. Liz wishes to sincerely apologise to all her fans for this, especially those who had tickets to come and see her on the tour.

A SONG Boyzone member Mikey Graham wrote for his wife is among five songs RTE have short-listed to represent Ireland in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.

‘Baby, Nothing’s Wrong’, which Graham also performs, beat off competition from hundreds of other entries, including one by Ronan Keating.

Last night, Graham (38) expressed his delight at the song’s selection by a panel including former Eurovision winner Linda Martin.

“I’m amazed and thrilled. If the Irish people like it as much as I do, it will be an honour to represent my country,” he said.

Describing the song as a “Billy Joel-type piano ballad”, Graham revealed its inspiration had been his wife Karen.

Keating reveals that Brother is a markedly different album to anything the group has done before. “It’s incredibly different. There are no ballads on there at all, it is very much an adult pop record, big Coldplay, U2 style songs. There are no cover versions, they are all brand new studio tracks. It’s going to surprise a lot of people.”
