DJ CLODAGH
BIOGRAPHY :
in her own words:
But my biggest achievement to date was been asked personally by my hero Carl Cox to warm up for him on tour in France in May 2005! I got to play to crowds of up to 4,000 people at the amazing “Carl Cox & Friends” parties in Paris & Strasbourg. Rocked the crowd in between Sasha & Carl Cox at the “Inox3 Electronic Music Festival” in Toulouse and warmed up for Carl at the famous VIP room at the Cannes Film Festival. We started the tour in my home country Ireland, at the Redbox, Dublin on 1 st May followed by 6 gigs all over France. This was a truly amazing experience & I learned so much from Carl, he is what every Dj should be!
I was also invited to played after the no.1 Dj in the world at the time “Tiesto” at the “Autumn Electronic Festival” in Toulouse in September 2005. So far I’ve rocked crowds in Germany, Ibiza and headlined gigs in Japan, Brazil, UK, South of France, Poland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Italy, Tunisia, Algeria & Morocco.
I’m also the first female Dj to ever play in Algeria!
