Movie Week will be especially meaningful for Eurovision winner Niamh Kavanagh, who dances a Foxtrot with partner Stephen Vincent to Destination Anywhere from The Commitments. The singer auditioned for a role in the film in the early 1990s, and while she missed out on appearing on screen, her lead vocal featured prominently on the soundtrack. This Sunday marks a full-circle moment as she dances to her own vocal from the movie.
