Callum Walsh: "Right now, fighting up here for the first time in Dublin and the 3Arena is the perfect place for it.
“Obviously, in the future, I look forward to getting back to Cork and putting on a show down there for the Cork people.
“If everything goes well on September 20, we’ll do Madison Square Garden in March and then try to do a Cork show. That would be a goal for me to put a show on there and once a year in Ireland would be perfect for me.”
