'It’s nice to be proud of who you are:' Cork band Sparkle one year on from Pride engagement

Between a car crash, Covid-19 and a talent show, it has been a crazy year for Caroline and Jen but they can't wait to finally tie the knot

Caroline, one half of Sparkle, proposed to bandmate Jen at the close of Cork Pride 2021.

Sparkle stole the show at Cork Pride last year when singer Caroline Bailey got down on one knee and proposed to bandmate Jen Bowler. One year on, the pair have had a bit of a “mad” 12 months but are excited to be back performing at the event that means so much to them.

Following last year's closing performance, Cork band Sparkle will be back at Pride's Party at the Port — marking one year since their engagement in the very same spot.
