Brave molly fails in eurovision final bid

Puckane's Molly Sterling failed in her bid to reach the Eurovision final after performing her ballad Playing with Numbers at last night's second semi-final in Vienna. The 17-year-old singer-songwriter proudly flew the Irish flag and put in a strong performance of the song she co-wrote with Greg French, on the Eurovision stage.

 

The teenager was the second act to perform live from the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, as 17 countries competed for 10 places in Saturday's Grand Final. The broadcast was hosted by Mirjam Weichselbraun, Alice Tumler and Arabella Kiesbauer along with Conchita Wurst, the last year's Eurovision Song Contest winner, who was a host from the Green Room. 

 

The Eurovision Song Contest 2015 will air on 8pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Radio 1.
