Aspiring performers will have their chance to shine in front of one of the biggest names in pop this month, as Louis Walsh holds open auditions for a new five-piece girl band.
Think you have a claim to fame?
Then this is your chance to skip the reality TV shows and years of bar-playing, and go straight into a spanking new pop band.
Pop svengali Louis Walsh – having already propelled the likes of Westlife, Girls Aloud and Boyzone into stardom – is calling open auditions for a new five-piece girlband in Dublin this month.
Any girl aged 15-25 can try out on July 25 and 26 at the Pod on Harcourt Street, Dublin, from midday to 6pm. Auditions will consist of an a cappella song of your choice, with callbacks the next day (July 27).

Louis will judge the auditions, along with Westlife's Kian Egan, who will co-manage the group with Walsh.
Kian believes this is a great way for talented girls to bring something fresh to the Irish music scene: “I am really hoping we are going to see and hear some great talent from all parts of the country. I know how much an audition like this can change your life – so my advice is to go for it!”
