Former Blizzards man and coach on The Voice Bressie has confirmed that he'll perform on the opening night of this year's Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby.

The event takes place on June 29, 30 and July 1 at Kildare's Curragh Racecourse, and looks set to be an exciting weekend of racing, fashion and food - with Good Food Ireland Village on-site for the duration.

Tickets for Friday night's entertainment - which kicks off at 5.30pm and includes an evening of racing followed by live music from Bressie - start from €10 for students and OAPs, and €20 for adult tickets. See [link]www.curragh.ie[/link] or [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link].
