Boyzone propaganda from Liam Gallagher or the opposite if you speak mancunian.

Hello there! 🤗

Just dropping in to say that I’m really enjoying your account! 🫶 I’ve recently fled Twitter and find tumblr way more relaxing! 😌

I’ve only been around for two years or so but a long, looooooooong time ago (1999 - 2004) I was a Westlife-fan and met them quite a few times - this also includes Paul Higgins who used to be their tour manager / security back then btw!

After learning about Mark Feehily‘s closeting (or Stephen Gately’s of BOYZONE even earlier!) I’d say it’d be quite narrow-minded to not at least consider Larry to have been a thing… 🙄 As I understand it there were some of the same people behind the scenes involved with all three bands, right? Do you happen to have more information on that?

Hi, Martina. Congratulations on escaping Twitter. 😂

And yeah, you make a really good point about how many men (especially those in boybands) were closeted pre-One Direction.

But your question about the connection between Westlife, Boyzone, and 1D stumped me. I only know of Louis Walsh being connected to all of them, but not others.

@voxina @hannabec2 @betterstllbemywindingwheel @tommosgun any of you know the answer to this question?

Anyone else?

Death separates those most in love, brings pain and leaves happy and even more painful memories, remembering something that cannot be repeated is the worst thing in the world.

Last night I found more comments like this but of course I can't find them now!

Mikey (for those of you who don't know) was from Boyzone (Ronan Keating's old band.)

This industry needs to do better.

Dublin 1997 - The interval act and other performances

The benefit of having a bona fide, 100% genuine pop star as a host is that the interval act is sorted. It's right there. In Oslo they had Morten Harket, and such was their extravagance, they had him as the opening song. They put on a huge separate interval act without him

Ireland and RTÉ weren't going to look a gift horse in the mouth and neither were Boyzone's management. The interval was Ronan and his fellow Boyzone band members performing their song Let the Message Run Free. Initially this just had Ronan on his own with a dance troupe, but he was soon joined by the boys dressed in full black leather trench coat ensemble, anticipating The Matrix by at least a year. They even got some choreography at the end to match the dancers.

This is Boyzone at the absolute pinnacle of their popularity. They were trying to make a push to break into the US market. To this day they're the second most popular boy band in the UK chart history after Take That. They're were also popular across Europe, so this is Eurovision getting a big name to start at the centre of the show - another attempt to get Eurovision to more credible and marketable across Europe.

If I'm honest, despite the contemporary big name, it's not particularly memorable. What you think of it will entirely depend on how well you think of Boyzone. There's no trip around Ireland on video. Nothing traditional, although Ireland have already ticked that off in 1994 and 1995. This is as straightforward a pop performance as you can get. And it only lasts about six minutes.
