Talented hopefuls have the chance to win $5,000 in a singing competition at The Claddagh Irish Pub

For anyone who has a dream of becoming a famous singer, the upcoming “Claddagh’s Got Talent” singing competition is the perfect place to show off your vocal stylings. The Claddagh Irish Pub in both Mason and Newport are hosting a ten-week singing contest, and the grand prize winner will receive $5,000.

Singers apply in each pub for a chance to compete and are assigned weeks to perform in the pub. The competition kicks off on Thursday, March 15 and will run for ten consecutive Thursdays. Winners from each week will come back to the pub on the final competition night for his or her chance to claim the grand prize.

Aspiring singers should dress up as their favorite artist, and come prepared to belt out a tune in front of a panel of notable judges, and other Claddagh guests. The fun, lively evenings will be great for not only the singers, but also the audience in the restaurant. After a round of audience and guest judge voting on the singing, enthusiasm and costume, a winner will be selected each week. Weekly winners will then compete in the final singing battle where the overall winner will win the hefty $5,000 prize.

For those not interested in or adept at singing, this is the perfect chance to enjoy a pint, grab some of Claddagh’s famous beer-battered fish and chips, and settle in to watch some talented crooners. As always, the nightlife at Claddagh is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a date, a gathering with friends, or sipping on a post-work pint!
