OK Jessie fans, time for a campaign, me thinks!!
If RTE did record Jessie’s performance, then they must have it somewhere in their archives, even if they didn’t broadcast it. Let’s e-mail them en-mass to ask if they can put the footage up on their Internet Real Player (or whatever it’s called), for the benefit of Jessie’s Irish and Non-Irish fans who couldn’t be there at Tralee.
Thanks to Derrers who gave us the info, and the list of songs that Jessie sang, which is up on the Jessie Buckley Fan Blog now.
How about something like this:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the broadcast of the Rose of Tralee competition, however, I was EXTREMELY disappointed that, though her performance was advertised, there was no footage of the extraordinarily talented Miss Jessie Buckley in your broadcast.
According to one UK Jessie fan that did make it to Tralee, you did record footage of Miss Buckley, but didn’t broadcast it.
I, and a lot of Jessie fans, would be VERY grateful if you could put the footage up on your Internet video player for all her admirers to see.
Very many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
…….
And here’s the e-mail address:

Well, guys? What do you think?
Let’s have a go and see what happens. As my Mummy used to say, ‘If you don’t ask, you don’t get’!!!
