An Irish TV special on the Rose of Tralee festival airs this Thursday.

A SPECIAL 90-minute documentary providing a unique behind-the-scenes account of the work that goes in to transforming the town into the week-long annual global festival that is now the Rose of Tralee will air on Irish TV this week.

This observational documentary features behind the scenes footage and what it is like to be part of this event as a Rose, volunteer and stage manager and includes interviews with those responsible for putting it all together including Rose of Tralee Chief Executive, Anthony O’Gara.

The Rose Experience also carries coverage of each of the 32 Rose finalists who made it to the selection stage in the Dome for their interview with host Dáithí O’Shea – but who unfortunately were unsuccessful in getting through to the live televised final.

 

Co-producer Brian Hurley of Irish TV said: “The idea is every Rose will appear and get some exposure where they may not make the final. It is behind-the-scenes unlimited access to everything; including the girls in local parades in home towns and as special guests at concerts and events around the country.”

Rose of Tralee Head of Communications John Drummey said the making of the unique documentary by Irish TV is a particular bonus.

“We are very much looking forward to seeing it. Irish TV is a very important global platform to showcase the festival and all the participants from around the world. The coverage is especially important this year being an extended festival with only so many going on to the live TV show.”

Capturing all the excitement of the selection night in which the whittling down of the 64 contestants to 32 finalists took place, there is also coverage of the build-up to the Rose of Tralee right around the country as the various Roses perform public duties at parades and social events in their home counties, bringing the Festival to the viewer with parades, fireworks displays, street entertainment and all the carnival atmosphere of the Rose of Tralee International Festival.

The Rose Experience airs on IRISH TV on Thursday September 29 from 8.30pm-10pm. IRISH TV can be viewed on Sky 191; Freesat 400; Free to Air andwww.Irishtv.com
