by Essentially Pop | Posted on 23/12/2015

It’s Christmas Eve Eve as we open door number 23 on our Essential Advent Calendar and find Cliona singing, ‘Irish Eyes Smiling At Christmas’.

Cliona Hagan is a country singer from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Managed by Irish country star Aidan Quinn (himself the son of the Queen of Irish Country, Philomena Begley), she hopes to take her talent to the US and make a name for herself in the home of Country music.

Cliona won Best Female Newcomer of the Year in the 2015 Irish Country Music Radio Awards, and looks set to making 2016 a huge year.

Find Cliona on Twitter and Facebook. ‘Irish Eyes Smiling At Christmas’ is available on iTunes.

About the author

There’s a lot of music out there - good music. At Essentially Pop our remit is that we cover music that deserves to be heard, with a particular focus on independent artists. That doesn't mean we won't cover your old favourites - rather we hope to give you some new favourites as well.

We no longer accept unpaid PR agency work. We believe the creative arts have value, and this includes writing. As always, we will write about artists who contact us - or who we contact - for free - but we can no longer work free of charge for PR agencies. We work hard, we put in a lot of hours writing, and we ask that you respect that. Contact us for our very reasonable rates.
