The search for the next big country music star on TG4’s Glór Tíre will resume on Tuesday, April 6, at 9:30pm, following a postponement due to a Covid-19 related incident. 

The series which began in January was due to air the finals in March but was deferred on the advice of the Health Service Executive (HSE).

The final contestants left in the competition are: Emma Donohue from Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, who is mentored by Mike Denver; David Connor from Claremorris, Co. Mayo, whose mentor is Michael English; Mary Hoey from Cullyhana, Co. Armagh, who is mentored by The Sheerin family and Tilly Dawson-Stanley from Glasson, Co. Westmeath, who is mentored by Cliona Hagan.

Voting was suspended but all votes that have been cast to date will be valid once the search recommences. 

Chantelle Padden, a former contestant of Glór Tíre who recently took part in the 10th series of The Voice UK, will be performing live on the semi-final show on April 6. 

Chantelle, from Belmullet, Co. Mayo, was the only Irish singer picked from the final 60 contestants selected from 100,000 people who applied to take part in The Voice UK, following seven auditions to be in the final 60.  

Glór Tíre currently in its 17th season, is presented by Aoife Ni Thuairisg and Seamús Ó Scanláin, with help from the judges, John Creedon, Caitríona Ní Shúilleabháin and Jó Ní Chéide who advise and and guide the contestants. 

Viewers can cast their votes for their favourite singer by downloading the Glór Tíre app in the app store or on Google playstore.
