Bríd Gilligan Comes Second At Blue Jean Country Queen Festival

The Blue Jean Country Queen Festival has been bringing contestants from across Ireland and beyond to Athboy in County Meath for almost four decades, combining fun, friendship and community spirit with a unique competition that celebrates the best of Macra na Feirme. Clare had plenty to celebrate at this year's festival, with Sixmilebridge Kilmurry Macra member Bríd Gilligan finishing as runner-up after a memorable Bank Holiday weekend of interviews, dancing, fancy dress, music and plenty of craic. Bríd joined Alan Morrissey to look back on the experience, representing Clare on the national stage, and what it was like to come so close to taking the coveted Blue Jean Country Queen title.
