Donegal singer Adgy aims to represent Ireland at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest

Adgy is the latest act to be announced this week hoping to impress at Eurosong 2025 and represent Ireland at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest.

London-based Irish singer-songwriter, Andrew Carr, who was born in Bunbeg is hoping his song Run into the Night makes the cut.

The six Eurosong finalists - including Adgy and his sister Jennie - will compete on Friday, February 7, on The Late Late Eurosong Special to determine who will go on to represent Ireland at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.

Run into the Night is a Celtic pop anthem written by Adgy and produced by Eurovision legend Ivan Klymenko (Kalush - Stefania, ESC 2022 winner). Adgy performed on Eurosong 2023 with his track Too Good For Your Love, and since then has taken some time to develop his music and grow as an artist.

After Eurosong 2023, he went travelling and eventually made his way back to London, where he has been writing music for the past year. A prolific songwriter with over 12 million streams, a deal with Universal Music Group, and a publishing deal with Spirit BMG under his belt, Adgy draws inspiration from his roots in the Donegal Gaeltacht.

“Growing up with traditional music heavily influenced my sound,” he says. “Once we finished writing it we knew we had created something really special.”

“Run Into The Night is a song that symbolises the road less taken. It’s about taking risks in life, breaking into the unknown, and doing things that scare us to grow and become the person we’re meant to be. I wrote the song in Donegal, and my sister wrote the fiddle part - who will also be performing with me on The Late Late Show. The next morning we listened back and we both thought it would be a great song for Eurovision.

“There’s a strong Irish influence in the song, naturally coming from Donegal we are both inspired by lots of local music growing up. We’re proud to have kept a bit of Irish culture in the song while also keeping it quite modern and pop.”

Run Into The Night will be released across all platforms this Friday, January 24.
