Paul Harrington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Harrington is an Irish musician, who, with Charlie McGettigan, won the Eurovision Song Contest for Ireland in 1994.
The winning song in the competition was Rock 'n' Roll Kids, the music and lyrics for which were written by Brendan Graham. Harrington and McGettigan were the first group in Eurovision history to have been awarded more than 200 points (226), and their win was the third consecutive for Ireland, representing the first hat trick to have been achieved by any nation.
In 1991, Harrington released an album—What I'd Say—comprising twelve tracks, of which he wrote or co-wrote five, on the Eaton Records label.
Harrington performed as a vocalist [1] in the Michael Flatley production Celtic Tiger and performs on the Irish radio station RTÉ 2fm and occasionally on the Irish [[television network]Radio Telefís Éireann.[citation needed]
