With much of the country celebrating New Year's Eve from the comfort of their own homes this year, all eyes were on the RTÉ festive special last night.
Irish singer
Tolu Makay teamed up with the RTÉ concert orchestra for a beautiful cover of the hugely popular Saw Doctors hit N17. Airing on RTÉ last night as part of their annual New Year's special, the song went down a hit with viewers - many of whom have taken to Twitter to commend the "hugely poignant" rendition.
A celebration of local homegrown talent, several Irish artists performed throughout the night however it was singer Tolu Makay who really stole the show with her rendition of the popular Saw Doctors song N17.
Moving many viewers to tears, Twitter has been singing her praises - excuse the pun - ever since with even the likes of Irish presenter Graham Norton showering her with compliments.
"Maybe feeling fragile on New Year’s Day but this has reduced me to a sobbing mess. Huge congratulations to everyone involved in putting it together!!"
