The disco diva will be at the Irish Village on April 26. She has in the past performed in Europe, the Far East and South America with concerts in more than 80 countries.

Gloria Gaynor's hits include 1979's I will survive (which later became an anthem for the women's movement), Never can say goodbye, Got to be forever and I am what I am.

"Gloria Gaynor's dynamic voice is well recognised worldwide," said Dave Cattanach, Irish Village and Catering Services Manager.

"Her Grammy award winning signature song I will survive has become an inspirational anthem for people around the world and we are sure that she will appeal to a wide range of nationalities [here]," Cattanach said.

The 56-year-old disco queen is the only recording artist to win a Grammy (for Best Disco Song I will survive) and the Legend Award at the World Music Awards.

Live concerts are an integral part of Gloria Gaynor's repertoire as an artist.

She has performed for several dignitaries, including former President Bill Clinton.
