Ceol an Ghrá

rdfs:comment

Ceol an Ghrá was the Irish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1972 in Edinburgh performed by Sandie Jones. Lyrically, the song is a ballad, with Jones singing about hearing "the music of love" wherever she is. She sings about being in Tír na nÓg, the Land of the Young, a mystical place in Irish mythology allowing whoever goes there to be forever young - it may also be metonymic for Ireland herself. During Preview Week, clips from Ireland's National Song Festival were interspersed with new footage of Jones singing on a cliff, walking on a footbridge, standing near the Two Working Men, and perhaps most famously, strutting in the latest fashions, complete with platform shoes, past awestruck Catholic schoolgirls. The video was also notable for short scenes which featured Jones in hot pants,

Ceol an Ghrá was the Irish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1972 in Edinburgh performed by Sandie Jones. Lyrically, the song is a ballad, with Jones singing about hearing "the music of love" wherever she is. She sings about being in Tír na nÓg, the Land of the Young, a mystical place in Irish mythology allowing whoever goes there to be forever young - it may also be metonymic for Ireland herself. During Preview Week, clips from Ireland's National Song Festival were interspersed with new footage of Jones singing on a cliff, walking on a footbridge, standing near the Two Working Men, and perhaps most famously, strutting in the latest fashions, complete with platform shoes, past awestruck Catholic schoolgirls. The video was also notable for short scenes which featured Jones in hot pants, which caused a stir in Ireland at the time. At the Contest, it was performed third on the night, following France and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it placed 15th of 18 entries with 72 points, making it the country's worst performing entry in the contest up to that year. This was the only occasion on which Ireland performed in its own language. The performance was also the first of only two occasions so far on which a Celtic language has been heard at the Contest, with France entering the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 with the Breton language song "Diwanit Bugale". After that, all of Ireland's subsequent entries have been in English.
