Talk:Rose of Tralee (festival)

Song origins
The story about Mr. Mulchinock and Miss O'Connor seems to originate in the festival literature. Googling "rose of tralee" finds it here, and googling "mulchinock" finds it here, which in turn cites the same place Google found.

The Glover/Spencer attribution is to be found, so it is reported to me, in John Loesberg, Folksongs and Ballads Popular in Ireland, Vol. 1 (Cork: Ossian). Web-available sources differ on Glover's life (1806-1863 quoted from Loesberg, whereas ChoralWiki dates him to 1797-1868); Spencer's first initial (E. per Loesberg or C. in other sources); and the date of publication of the song (the earliest date I have seen attributed to it is 1845, but it is listed in Wikipedia's 1912 in music page).

Song or Festival
Should these not be split up, or at least broken donw into different sections on the page ? King dumb (talk) 23:35, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes! I agree fellow king. They are completely separate topics (in a way). Cargoking   talk  18:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No, they are not separate topics, they are related. As the opening two sentences state, the Festival was inspired by the song. The festival wouldn't exists without the song, so how can they be separate? They are totally linked! Calen11 (talk) 21:26, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Beginnings
Just wondering about the continuity here: Originally, only girls from Tralee were eligable to compete, it was then extended to include girls from Kerry and now anyone with Irish descent is eligible, regardless of where they are from.

Yet in the first year 1959 it was won by a Alice O'Sullivan from Dublin ? King dumb (talk) 00:05, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Alice O'Sullivan was from (a native of) Tralee but represented Dublin, as she was presumably living there. Calen11 (talk) 16:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Rules of marriage
In 2008 unmarried mothers were allowed to enter the Rose of Tralee for the first time. In the reference however I discovered that married women are not allowed enter. Is this still the case in 2017? Mobile mundo (talk) 22:00, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
