Needs an update

No news since 2001, and little about what she's been doing for a while before that. There must be some information, somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.234.82 (talk) 19:18, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pic?

Must be masses of photos. 86.180.124.119 (talk) 04:44, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dublin appearance

According to John Kennedy O'Connor's The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History, part of the reasoning behind the BBC's invitation was their concern over the reaction the UK entrant would get on the stage from the Irish public. She received death threats from the IRA as a result of her appearing for the UK.

That sounds more like a reason for not inviting her. Valetude (talk) 18:26, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A Little Bit More About Monty Python ...

In Episode#34 "The Cycling Tour" – not only is Clodagh Rodgers version of Jack In The Box heard, but it is also sung by John Cleese & Eric Idle, as the French couple, whom discover Mr.Pither & Mr.Gulliver in their backyard. (It is later sung by a couple making out in a car, whom further mistake Mr.Gulliver as Clodagh Rodgers, as he runs past them.)

The song re-surfaces in the following Episode#35 "The Nude Organist", during the "El Mystico & Janet" sketch. While police inspector Terry Jones tries to deliver his lines, Eric Idle and others, can be heard over his police radio singing Jack In The Box, loudly and obnoxiously, while an embarrassed Terry Jones tries to cover his radio with his hands.
