RTE Late Late Show viewers were left in tears following a powerful performance by musician Shobsy.
The Dubliner performed a raw edition of Smalltown Boy by the Bronski Beat which is regarded as one of the top best gay songs by Time Out.
Speaking on the show, Ryan Tubridy said: "Anyone watching in tonight who perhaps was on the verge of coming out and who now find themselves terrified into silence and into secrecy, I want you to know you're not alone. You can talk to the younger members of our audience in particular.

One person said: "There are times when my heart sinks but my soul swells - thank you, Ryan."
Another viewer added: "That was just stunning. Fabulous performance."
A third person said: "Wonderful performance #LateLateShow First time I could really hear the lyrics."
