official studio version of 'They cant stop the spring' by Dervish
esc is coming home......
an mhaith ar fad
....so thank you norway and belgium for keeping the celtic spirit high over the years, but Ireland has shown they can still do it ! I love this song - though i certainly hope they'll work on their stage presentation a BIT before headin' off to Finland. Still - no complaints, hope they'll be up against Edsilia in the final (though my doubts are many).. Éireann abú!
finally, a word to those fussing over whether dervish is a turkish name and therefore appropriate for an irish band... get yourselves a hobby. Please.
Go Ireland! Let's bring it back West! 
Indeed - there's hardy a parish in Ireland without its own band of native Irish devishes, whirling around morning, noon and night.
hello,Dervish,as a name has nothing to do with Turkey.there may be a turkish name Dervish,but the groups name is Irish.good luck turkey in helsinki.
My fav so far! Traditional and nice! Good luck Ireland!

Of the 13 entries I know, this is the best one so far.
Irish entry is sooooooooo great and dervish is a turkish name, i believe this band will get high points from us Top 5 for Ireland!!!
