Chloe’s voice, together with her calm, innocent, stage presence and pure presentation, reminiscent of top recording artist Charlotte Church (Charlotte Maria Reed) in her younger days, won over the viewing audience to claim the competition’s top prize of €50,000. (Coincidentally, she has the same initials as Charlotte Church.)
The talented young singer from Tyrone, represented the northern end of Ireland and was mentored by former Euro-Vision winner Dana (Rosemary Scallon).

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Now after years of misfires, misfits and a mischievous turkey, Ireland has spoken and placed their 2010 Eurovision hopes and dreams in the hands of a real talent who has already tasted that sweet success that is Eurovision glory, Niamh Kavanagh.
Niamh successfully topped Friday night’s public vote and regional judging on the Late Late Show to earn her place in Oslo for what surely promises to be Ireland’s most realistic hope for Euro glory in over a decade.
The winning song ‘It’s For You’ fought off some stiff competition, but in the end, scoring maximum points, this song correctly came out the clear winner.

Eurovision purists will know Niamh from her past heroics, way back in 1993, where in a unforgettable night in Millstreet, she won over the Union with her rapturous rendition of ‘In Your Eyes’, the second of Ireland’s ‘3 in a row’ Euro successes on the 1990’s.
The Dubliner, who now lives in County Antrim, surely has what it takes to drag Ireland out of the Eurovision doldrums and back to the glory days that defined the nation’s songbook in the 90’s.
Ireland holds the record for the most number of wins in the contest, having won a total of seven times, including three times in a row in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
We’re behind you all the way Niamh.
We broke the news first last week regarding Olly Murs intended visit and live performance at HQ Nightclub.
Tonight about 30 minutes ago, the HQ Nightclub web site ( www.nightclubhq.com ) officially confirmed that Olly Murs will be performing live at their venue here in Thurles on May 4th, 2010, with support from Diane Sullivan and Pat Fitz.
 Olly Murs Tickets for this event will go on sale from this Thursday, March 4th, from 3.00 pm at the Arch Bar, Liberty Square, Thurles.

 Olly Murs and Simon Cowell It’s true folks, we have it on very good authority, that the X Factor star Olly Murs has signed a contract to appear in Nightclub HQ in Thurles within the coming weeks.
When contacted separately today HQ Nightclub promoters, Pat Hayes and John Quinn were keeping silent, both refusing to either confirm or deny that Olly is booked to appear.
However sources close to Thurles.Info and within the music business have confirmed that the X Factor star will make an appearance within the coming weeks.
This news comes when just yesterday Olly received the ultimate compliment to his talents, when X-Factor guru and music industry mogul Simon Cowell, signed Olly up for two exclusive record deals with his record company Syco Music and Epic Records.
Sonny Takhar, managing director of Simon’s label, told BBC Newsbeat: “We are thrilled to be involved with Olly. As an artist he ticks every box.”
Despite finishing a close second to Joe McElldery in last year’s X-Factor final, Essex boy Olly Murs has more than convinced both UK and Irish audiences alike of his tangible star quality, helped considerably by his instinctively savvy stage performances, his naturally cool growling rock/pop vocal and his cheeky chappy mischievous grin.

This boys got talent, there’s no doubt about it. Girls want him and guys want to be him.
Olly’s currently hitting arenas and venues in the UK and Ireland as part of the X-Factor live tour but it looks like he’s being coaxed away from his busy schedule to make this appearance in Thurles’ own premier nightspot, HQ Nighclub.
Should these rumours be true, and our money says it is, it represents a major coup for HQ Nighclub and Thurles town and will be a night out not to missed.
I for one will be keeping an eye on www.nightclubhq.com and thanking the Man above that my membership is up to date.
Forget the X-Factor Olly, you’ve now got the Nightclub HQ Factor.
