The competition is part of the long running 'Tipperary Peace Convention', and Chris will be performing his song 'New Day' as he battles it out against songwriters from all over the world for the chance to win the 'Tipperary Song of Peace 2011 crystal trophy'.

 

He’s really rather good and we’re all for those who fight for peace, so best of luck, Chris!
