About Sandie Jones

This marked the only occasion in the history of the contest on which a song was performed in the Irish language. She began singing at an early age, taking part in local Feis competitions and appearing on a radio broadcast at the age of 9. Since the age of 15, Jones started singing with several local bands, including The Statesmen and the Monaco Showband, before joining the middle-of-the-road group Royal Earls in 1968, with which she gained popularity. At the age of 18, she briefly performed for a residency at Hammersmith Palais, London. After winning the 1969 Castlebar Song Contest with the song "Reflections of You", Bil Keating signed her for the RTÉ series Girls, Girls, Girls in 1970, and she went on to become a regular guest on the show Man and His Music.
