Billy Larkin and Kevin Breathnach
Billy Larkin and Kevin Breathnach first met on the band circuit in the late eighties. Since then they performed together in "Catwalk", a covers band gigging all over Ireland. They have collaborated on many musical projects from original songs, one of which, "Every Kiss Is A Lie", performed by In Focus, finished in second place in Eurosong 2001. They also compose music for TV and radio commercials.

They have a great interest in Eurovision and would love the opportunity to represent Ireland on such a stage.

The song "So What" is a ballad, which was inspired by a relationship break-up of a mutual friend. Kevin says, "The song was composed specifically for Eurosong. We spent a long time looking for the right singer and were delighted when Lee Bradshaw tried the song and was perfect for it".

They are delighted to be involved in Eurosong 2009 and would like to thank anyone in advance who votes for "So What".
