NEWMARKET-ON-FERGUS singer Clodagh Lawlor is still pinching herself following her appearance on the Rose of Tralee.

Clodagh had the honour of singing on stage as the Laois Rose, Katelyn Cummins was crowned the Rose of Tralee in the Dome on Tuesday night.

Speaking following her appearance, Clodagh admitted she was still pinching herself at having been involved in what is regarded as an iconic annual moment in Irish life.

She told The Clare Echo, “Standing on stage at the Rose of Tralee and singing the finale song was a moment I’ll never forget. To be part of such a beautiful tradition, surrounded by so much pride, joy and celebration, was a true honour. The energy in the Dome, the voices joining together, and the sense of connection with everyone there made it feel magical. It was one of those experiences where you just stop and think – this is really special”.

In November, Clodagh landed a country music show with Today FM which airs every Wednesday from 10pm to 12am.

Three years ago, she was named as the new female country artist of the year at the 2022 Hot Country TV Music Awards while in May 2019 she was in the national spotlight when she was announced as the winner of the Late Late Show’s search for a country music star.
