Other popular hits include 'Second Violin' and 'Leeson Street Lady'.
They will be supported by up-and-coming local band 'Priorland' - a five-piece original harmony band with two members from Cavan, two from Meath and one from Limerick. Four of the gang met at college in Dundalk in the past two years - Thomas Hughes, Arva and Calvin McManus, Cootehill; Conor Bogue from Limerick and Davie Boyle from Athboy, Meath. Earlier this year, they were joined by Conor Kavanagh also from Athboy on drums.
The boys are proud to be supporting Bagatelle this Friday night, having recently supported Aslan there.
