In case you missed it then, Riot will be returning to Dublin this July (full info here), while The Lords Of Strut aren’t the only Irish act bringing competition to BGT this year, as 22-year old and five-time World Champion Irish Dancer David Geaney took the stage with holographic versions of himself and blew the judges away.
