The boys organized concerts in the area and even produced their own CDs to sell locally. This local success led to an appearance on TV that was to prove extremely important. Among the viewers who saw the trio perform. in a children’s hospital was Boyzone’s manager, Louis Walsh. Soon after Shane’s mother contacted him about I.O.U. and found he had been desperately trying to get in contact with them.
Louis Walsh decided to hold auditions to recruit two new members in Jude of 1998. This is when Nicky Byme and Bryan McFadden, two Dublin boys and friends entered the picture. A quick name change and Westside was born. Yes, WESTSIDE. This was to be the quintet’s name until they discovered another band already using the name and a final change to Westlife was called for, The final link in the chain was Ronan Keating, Boyzone’s lead singer, who at Louis Walsh’s request joined him to help and nurtured this raw talent. His experience proved an invaluable help.
The next step was to secure a record deal. The band organized a showcase in Dublin and soon reprentatives of every, major record label were offering the bewildered boys contracts. In October 1998 Westlife signed to RCA, a label that had a proven track record with the successful marketing of both Take That and Five,
Barely had the ink on the contract dried when they headed out on tour as part of the Smash Hits Show, which led to them winning the Best New Tour Act in December 1998 (this was an award Boyzone themselves had won in 1994 which seemed like a pretty good omen).

A month later Swear It Again repeated the feat in the UK, staying at number one for two weeks and following on from Boyzone’s dominance of the UK top spot. This success was soon matched all around Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. They look set to repeat their success now in the USA. A tour throughout the States has meant Swear It Again is rapidly climbing the Billboard charts. This is the good news the boys needed as Bryan McFadden recently suffered nervous exhaustion and had to miss some shows while recuperating back in Ireland with his family, blot only that but Ronan Keating’s solo plans have forced him to give up his co-managing duties due to lack of time.

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said,“Do come and see me at my house in the country.”So the City mouse went. The City mouse said,“This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field？ You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city.”
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried,“Run! Run! The cat is coming!”They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said,“I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid.”
The two mice both lived in the country.
