Lead singer with Irish band Royseven Paul Walsh has been revealed as the host of the Gala Screening of SOUL SURFER which will feature a Q&A session with the subject of the movie, Bethany Hamilton. Paul, a keen surfer himself has recently started hosting “Two Tube” on RTÉ 2 and indeed as part of his presenting duties he will get to interview Bethany for broadcast on the show the following week.
Speaking about the announcement Paul, who is also Team captain on new RTE 2 Television TV show, “SING”, which will broadcast from 26th September, said “I’m excited to be part of the gala screening of SOUL SURFER and also to meet and interview Bethany Hamilton. My schedule with Royseven this summer meant that I didn’t get to surf as much as I’d like but it’s something I’m keen to perfect. I’ll certainly have my board with me this weekend and hope to catch a few of the famous Bundoran waves!”
It will be a busy night for Paul, as later on that night, he will take to the stage at Paris Nightclub with his band Royseven. Eurosurf Bundoran Press Officer Shane Smyth added “we’re really looking forward to welcoming Paul and Royseven back to Bundoran and are thrilled that he has agreed to host our gala screening – he was the perfect choice for the job, being a TV presenter and also a surfer. It’ll be a great night for sure”
