In the runup to the Eurovision Song Contest former Derry winner Dana pops in to chat to Pamela Ballantine on this Friday's UTV Life at 7.00pm.
She reminisces about her own Eurovision win in 1970, when while still a schoolgirl, she won the Eurovision Song Contest with 'All Kinds of Everything'.
It became a worldwide million-seller and launched her music career.
Dana also talks about her new latest release, 'Light The Fire'.
'Light The Fire' honours St Patrick and was written and recorded by the Derry singer, and tells the story of how St Patrick lit the flame on a hill in Slane in 433AD, defying the High King Laoire at Tara.
Before Friday's appearance on UTV Life, Dana is due to make an emotional return to Derry this evening (Thursday) to sing at St Eugene's Cathedral, as it marks its 150th anniversary.
Dana will sing 'Light The Fire' plus the much loved hymn, written by Dana and her husband Damien, 'Our Lady of Knock'.
