THIS week we've got the incredible news from home that we're now going to be doing ELEVEN shows at the Point next March.
That is just amazing to us.
We've always enjoyed the best support in Ireland, but we never thought our popularity would see us breaking every record at the Point. Garth Brooks did eight shows; Boyzone did nine and now we're up to 11.
People might think that after all the Number Ones, it would take a lot to get us excited these days. But let me tell you, every time something new happens in Westlife we jump around like kids. I don't think the day will ever come when we'll start taking all this for granted. Certainly, the chance to do so many shows at the Point is something that is really special.
It was always the big concert venue in Ireland. The one where Take That, the Spice Girls and U2 packed in the crowds for shows. It was always a dream to perform there some day. Now it's going to come true.
But, of course, it wouldn't happen without you, our fabulous fans. You have helped us to realise our dreams by going out and getting your tickets.
The shows are not happening until March, but you made your decision early and that has shown the people who're organising the shows that there is going to be a massive turnout. So thank you...11 times over.
Now we're busy putting together a show that hopefully will match or even surpass your expectations. Naturally it will have all the hits, plus songs from our forthcoming album, including the first single, My Love.
But there'll be much more. It will be a light and sound spectacular and we've been busy working on ideas. Expect lots of surprises, as we want to give our fans a night to remember... night after night

BEST wishes to our mate Samantha Mumba who has just released her second single, Body II Body. It's a fantastic song and Samantha's voice sounds so amazing on it. All the lads in Westlife reckon it's going all the way to Number One.
The other good news for Samantha this week is that she has gone into the American Top 20 with Gotta Tell You. She Is now at No 19 and could well have an American No 1. wow!
