Firelight is a folk band, which was set up in 2013. Richard, their lead singer tried out for The X Factor UK the same year Leona Lewis won, making it through to bootcamp.

It represented Malta in Eurovision 2014.

Malta ended up in 23rd place with a total of 32 votes. Very much unlike last year when Gianluca Bezzina ended up in 8th place.
