Claudia Buckley

Claudia Buckley is an award winning performer and vocalist, from Athenry in Co. Galway and has fondly became known by her worldwide fan base as “The Galway Girl”.

This past month has seen Claudia win Female Entertainer of the year for the third time running at the hot country music awards.

With four “Female Entertainer Of The Year” award wins under her belt, Claudia is one of the leading country music stars in Ireland. She has two number 1 albums in the charts featuring hits such as “Diane”, “Come On In” and her breakthrough single “Drinking with Dolly” which has credited Claudia her own stamp on the country music scene in Ireland and beyond.

Claudia has achieved record breaking success as she has massed a huge following of all ages who travel far and wide to see her perform with her five piece band at dance halls, theatres and at festivals both at home in Ireland and overseas.

Of course, some would say it was inevitable that Claudia would pursue a career in music, following firmly in the footsteps of her father, Country music legend Jimmy Buckley. He speaks fondly with pride about Claudia’s love for her craft “I knew music would find her, she got bitten by the music bug at a very young age. I’m so happy that the public have taken to her wonderful personality, and she has the talent to match, I could not be more proud if I tried.”

Claudia has dueted with and toured the UK extensively with Nathan Carter and after a sell out solo tour in 2025 including two nights in the prestigious Eden Court in Inverness, she is currently planning to bring her brand new tour back to Scotland in Autumn 2026.

Claudia has featured on various television shows in Ireland including Ireland longest running and highest viewership ‘The Late Late show’ and notably being one of the special guests on Daniel O’Donnells Opry le Daniel show.

This year sees Claudia taking her TV appearances to an even bigger audience as she was asked to duet with and be interviewed by Boyzones Ronan Keating for his new BBC UK series. This show is due to air nationally in Spring this year.
