WE are delighted to introduce the 65 young gentlemen who will accompany our Roses to a host of events throughout the week of the Festival. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it! A Rose Escort needs to wear a creaseless tux like he was born into it, but to be a great Rose Escort he needs to have the Bond swagger, the diplomatic touch – and critically at this event, an understanding of the timeless tradition that has stood the Rose of Tralee festival.
The 2015 Rose Escort of the Year, Shane Kenny, said: “Having been selected as the Escort of the Year was nothing short of a great honour. The opportunity to represent a fantastic group and to accompany our Rose of Tralee, Elysha Brennan, at numerous events has been a brilliant experience. I’ve travelled extensively attending many charity events and Rose reunions while also working closely with a fantastic Rose of Tralee Team who couldn’t have done any more for me. I’ve made memories and friendships that will be cherished forever.”
