The Rose of Tralee is cancelled - but Daithi O Se is still celebrating a decade at the Dome in an RTÉ special
Another Ó Sé favourite was last year when some 2FM presenters dared him to wear “kinky” boots on stage. He agreed, provided a sufficient sum was raised for charity. “It turned out that €50,000 was raised. So I did it.”
It was at 4.30 in the morning in a hotel in Portland, Maine that Dáithí Ó Sé learned that his life was about to change.
“I was in America filming with TG4 when the call came through that I had got the Rose of Tralee,” Ó Sé (44) recalls. “They said, ‘the gig is yours’. I couldn’t tell anyone because the rest of the crew was asleep. I was in my room jumping around the place.”
