Congratulations A&E and Purple Electric- the winners of Clare's Got Talent 2014!
What an incredible final in Glór on Saturday night in front of a packed house. With the two acts sharing the €5,000 prize thanks to St Francis Credit Union.
All 10 acts to reach the final gave incredible performances. Purple Electric got the evening underway with an original song. Then Cosa Damhsa captivated the audience with their energetic Irish dancing.
Cristin Nolan wowed the judges with her voice as she performed a big Rihanna hit. Binneas followed the Bodyke singer by filling Glór with the sounds of Valerie & their quirky performance.
Next up it was joint winners A&E who earned cheers to raise the roof with their unique hip hop dance routine with a cheeky nod to Clare FM.
The youthful Cogar followed with their fun and passionate trad music act – one to watch for the future.
The Matildas stole the hearts of the audience and injected some micheif into the evening with their perfect musical performance.
In Tune followed with their twist on trad with a mix of ages and 11 year old Davin Livingstone leading the crew with creativity.
Shannon student Aoife Casey captivated the theatre & you could have heard a pin drop as she performed a stunning folk song.
To close the show it was wildcard Breakthrough Dance Company who showed flair and passion with breathtaking choreography.
It's been an inspiring journey with so much talent being unearthed from across the Banner county. Judges Brian Flynn, Maeve Fox and Claire Keville had a tough job and with over 300 people going before them in the auditions & 29 acts making the semi-finals.
