Donna and Joe
Donna and Joe Mc Caul are from
Athlone,
County Westmeath in
Ireland. They grew up in a large family, being raised by their mother. Their father had left the family when Donna and Joe were very young. When they first tried out for You're a Star, Donna was gigging around Ireland with friend and father figure Doc Carroll of showband fame (Noted for the song Old Man Trouble). Joe was still in school, but had been performing and winning awards and admirers since he was a small boy, including several spots over the years on
RTÉ. Donna and Joe were great favorites throughout the Irish presentation of You're a Star in 2005. This allowed them to represent Ireland in the Eurovision song contest that year.
"Donna and Joe" was their stage name on the "
Eurovision Song Contest - Kiev 2005" 2 disc album. Recently they've been billed as simply "The McCauls".
Their initial aim would have been to finish in the top ten at the semi-final, and thus qualify for the final on
21 May 2005.
Despite being as little-known as the
2004 Eurovision Irish performer
Chris Doran, Donna and Joe and the Irish audience were hoping that their lively song, which marked a radical departure from the country's traditional faith in Eurovision ballads would appeal to voters across the
European Broadcasting Union (EBU) audience. However, this wasn't the case and they were not voted through to the final.
As of 2007 Donna and Joe continue to do some small gigs around England and Ireland, but are mainly pursuing separate careers. They have made a number of appearances on
The Podge and Rodge Show. Donna is a lesbian.
