On tonight's Late Late Show, Ryan Tubridy will be joined by music royalty, a rising Irish star in the acting world, and a well-known comedian – among many more.

First up on tonight’s show is Barry Gibb, best known as the co-founder of legendary band the Bee Gees.

The 74-year-old star will join Ryan to talk about his decades of success in the run-up to his new album – a collaboration with Dolly Parton.

Parton appeared on the show back in December to speak to Tubridy about the profound influence of her parents on her music, the highs and lows of her illustrious career, and her enduring friendship with Irish country star Margo.

Eve Hewson – a rising star in the world of acting the daughter of U2 frontman Bono – will be on to speak about her career to date.

She’ll be giving viewers the lowdown on playing a lead role in Netflix series Behind Her Eyes, as well as her experience of growing up in Ireland as Bono's daughter.

Talented swimmer Trish Kearney will discuss the alleged sexual abuse she suffered at the hand of then swimming coach George Gibney.

Gibney managed to avoid a trial in Ireland on 27 counts of indecent assault and unlawful carnal knowledge of young Irish swimmers and lived freely in the USA.
