60-Year-Old Surprises Judges With Yodel Audition On Ireland's Got Talent

60-year-old Johnny Quinn surprises the judges on Ireland’s Got Talent with his unique yodel audition.

When this older man stepped on stage, everyone was a little bit apprehensive. When Johnny described himself as a country singer, I thought he was going to just sing a song. But when he started to yodel, everyone was taken for a loop.

Johnny is a talented, country yodeler. In fact, he picked up the skill at a very young age and stuck with it. Johnny has been playing gigs since he was just a teenager and there’s no slowing this guy down anytime soon.

About a year ago, he was watching an episode of Ireland’s Got Talent and decided to audition himself. He didn’t see any other country yodelers, so Johnny figured that he had a good niche.

But when he finally reached the stage, emotions were at an all time high. Johnny spoke about the experience to The County Down Outlook.

“The audience were unbelievable and were really interactive with me too. Going onto the stage I was the most nervous that I had ever been in my whole life. However, for some reason when I was handed the microphone a total calmness came over me and I just did my audition and got on with it.”

As soon as he started to sing, the nerves washed away and his talent shined through. Johnny easily earned 4 ‘yes’ votes from the judges and he’s on his way to the next round. I wonder what this guy is going to do next!
