WESTLIFE garnered much success with 34 million album sales world wide. They are famous for their hit songs… “Amazing, lushly –arranged soaring ballad - Flying Without Wings, Fool Again, Hey Whatever, Obvious, Unbreakable and Uptown Girl ”. They really have won the hearts and ears of their followers since the dawn of popular music. Westlife is the only group who can do duets with the quintessential pop diva , Diana Ross, in the remake of When You Tell Me That You Love Me . In the interpretation of “You Raise Me Up”, Westlife takes the anthemic approach throughout the song, down to the use of bagpipes and the booming crescendo with a choir towards the end.

Westlife is made up of Shane Filan, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne and Mark Feehily who all come from Ireland.
