THE Roses may arrive today, but the unofficial start to the Festival was last night when Nathan Carter rocked over a thousand people in the Dome.
Fresh from appearing on the stage with Daniel O’Donnell over in the INEC the previous night, the Liverpool lad belted out the hits to an enraptured audience of all ages.
Now that the Dome has been ‘warmed up’, it’s down to the glamorous business of the Rose Ball tonight.
Be sure to visit TraleeToday.ie later tonight for all the style, fashion and news from the event.
