Letterkenny entertainers bid to show they're the most talented family in Ireland

A Letterkenny family will be on stage on Sunday as top entertainment show Réalta agus Gaolta on to TG4 tries to find the most talented family in Ireland.

In the fifth episode of the series on Sunday, we'll see the Coyle family from Letterkenny perform in front of the judges. They are parents Audrey and James Coyle along with their son Lochlainn (14) and daughter Leila (12).

Also from Donegal is this week's guest judge, Megan Nic Ruairí from Rannafast, a singer/songwriter who is a member of the well-known family folk/ trad band Clann Mhic Ruairí.

From the Gallagher brothers and Cyrus duo to our own Corrs sisters, there is nothing quite as captivating as that special synergy of music and blood. It will definitely be a family affair on Sunday nights.

Having scoured the country, over eight weeks the most captivating singing, dancing and musical families the nation has to offer will battle it out on stage! Each week six families will take on the challenge of entertaining the nation as they go head-to-head in the hope of securing one of the coveted spots in this year’s final! Who will make it through? Who will be crowned the most talented family in Ireland?
