After selling out their last two Castlebar shows and their Irish tour last April Jedward are back again for two nights on August 18 and 19 just in time to enjoy a great night out before school is back. The show combines some of their great hits from X Factor as well as new cover songs. Louis Walsh said: “Jedward really captured the public’s imagination while on The X Factor, and love them or hate them you can’t deny that they were the talking point of the series. As Under Pressure was the track that really catapulted the boys to fame it seemed only fitting to release the song as their first single.” And despite Edward injuring his leg recently during a performance, Mr Walsh said, “Jedward are determined to see out their Irish tour commitment.”

First things first, I’m from Mayo and damn proud of it. I’ve worked in Galway for five years now, my college years were thoroughly enjoyed in Dublin, and I’ve even spent time living in the insanely wonderful Los Angeles. But nowhere has what Mayo’s got. And there’s certainly nowhere else I’d prefer to have been born. Sure, like most of Ireland it’s aesthetically pleasing, but it’s the people that separates Mayo from everywhere else. We’re laid back, we’re chilled out, and we’re friendly. We’re hugely supportive and undeniably loyal, almost to a fault. Yes, there really are some highly delusional people out there that still believe with all their hearts that the Mayo men can win an All-Ireland; even if there’s a better chance of hell freezing over. We’re fun, proud, very ‘with it,’ and definitely nowhere near as countryish as the Dubs and Galwegians believe. We stand by our own and look out for each other — it’s Mayo all the way.
