Tenor Andrea Bocelli and his children Matteo and Virginia will be among Ryan Tubridy's guests on Friday's Late Late Show on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

The singers will chat about meeting Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, family life, how faith plays an important part in their lives, the magic of Christmas, and their multigenerational talent. They will also sing two songs from their new festive album, A Family Christmas.

Imelda May and Glen Hansard will talk about the famous busk on Grafton Street for the Simon Community and how they are bringing a flavour of it to a wider audience on Christmas in Ireland with Imelda May and Friends on Sky Arts. Glen will share about his experience of fatherhood and how it has changed him, and Imelda will chat about acting, touring and coming home for Christmas.

Glen and Imelda will join forces to perform two special duets, including their take on the classic Fairytale of New York.

In another festive treat, Glen will also reunite with Markéta Irglová as they both perform their Academy Award-winning song, Falling Slowly, 15 years after its release.
