Robert Mizzell, Country Music Artist, will fill this role on Tuesday 23rd August 2011, and give the international performance of his life, as he serenades the newly crowned 52nd Rose, on stage in the festival dome in Tralee, Co. Kerry. The finale of the festival will be watched by millions of people around the world and it will be a huge honour for Robert, already a true crowd favourite, to sing to the winning Rose, that beautiful world famous nineteenth century Irish Ballad, ‘The Rose of Tralee’.
