Identify These Boy/Girl Bands
18. During the early 1990s, Louis Walsh sought to create an Irish counterpart to a popular band and established which musical group?
Correct Incorrect Irish music entrepreneur Louis Walsh conducted auditions with the intention of forming an Irish counterpart to the successful band Take That. Despite over three hundred hopefuls participating in the auditions, it took some time for the classic lineup to solidify. By 1994, the five-member group was established, comprising Shane Lynch, Ronan Keating, Stephen Gately, Mikey Graham, and Keith Duffy, and was named Boyzone. Their initial success came with the release of their first single, a cover of the Four Seasons' "Working My Way Back to You." Unfortunately, tragedy struck with the passing of Stephen Gately in 2009.
