Background

Scallon was born in Frederica Street, Islington, London, where she lived for five years until her family moved back to Derry, Northern Ireland, from where they had moved six years earlier to find work. Her parents were musical – Dad played the trumpet and Mum the piano – and they encouraged their three sons and three daughters to learn how to play an instrument, and to sing and dance. Young Rosemary Brown was a quick learner; she won a talent contest at the age of six. Years later she was introduced to her future manager, Tony Johnston, after singing and strumming her way to another success in 1965. This local headmaster and part-time promoter took her under his wing while she prepared for her GCE O-levels at Thornhill College.

In 1967, and now with seven O-levels to her credit, a demo tape was sent off to Michael Geoghegan, the manager of Rex Records (Decca) in Dublin, who promptly signed her up. Her debut single was called "Sixteen" (her age at the time), written by Johnston, with the self-penned "Little Girl Blue" on the flip side. It was released on 17 November 1967 – and was a flop. But it did open a few doors in local TV and radio. Year 1967 (MCMLXVII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar) of the 1967 Gregorian calendar. ...

A new name was required to go with her new "career". Names she could live with were short-listed before letting her school friends have the final say – and they chose "Dana".


Now in the sixth form, she was appearing in cabaret and folk clubs in the area. On Easter Saturday 1968, dressed in an evening gown, she was driven slowly through the streets in a white Rolls-Royce. Cheered on by crowds of well-wishers, she arrived at Clontarf Castle in Dublin.

1970s — all kinds of everything

Her record company suggested she take part in the Irish National Song Contest in February 1969. With mixed feelings she did and was chosen to sing "Look Around" by Michael Reade. Shown live on Ireland's RTÉ – and feeling terrified – she did well and came second. Relieved not to have won, she decided her future lay in passing her A-levels and becoming a music and drama teacher. Then, over Christmas, an invitation to try again came from the show's producer, Tom McGrath. Thinking one last fling wouldn't hurt before getting a proper job, she accepted his offer. However, this time she won with "All Kinds of Everything" by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith, two printers from Dublin.

The last of twelve to perform that night, and wearing an embroidered cream mini dress, she sang the song while perched on a stool. Her competitors included Mary Hopkin for the UK (the favourite with "Knock Knock Who's There" and famous for the 1968 chart-topper "Those Were The Days") and Spain's Julio Iglesias (soon to become famous). Dana beat them all and registered Ireland's first success in the contest. Thousands welcomed her home, first at Dublin Airport, then at Ballykerry Airport, then at the Guildhall in Derry (due to the vast crowd, she was carried shoulder high into the official reception), and finally at the family home in the Bogside. She described the journey to her flat in Rossville Street as like "breaking into Colditz", with flowers, fruit and fans everywhere. Dana's victory was something to celebrate for the people of Derry: the Troubles had not long started and the Battle of the Bogside had not long finished.

This now eighteen-year-old schoolgirl took the winning song to the top of the Irish singles chart for nine weeks and the UK singles chart for two weeks. Similar positions were achieved in far away places like Australia, South Africa and Singapore. It soon became a million-seller. And it soon became necessary to produce an LP. While still number one in the UK, and with an orchestral backing, twelve songs were recorded in just two days, the 25 and 26 April. Named after "that song", and showing her in "that dress", her debut album was in the shops by June. Although not an instant hit, sales grew as her career progressed.

Her follow-up 45 failed to follow in its forerunner's footsteps. In fact, "I Will Follow You" (P.A. Lordan) flopped. Not wishing to become a one-hit-wonder, she put everything into "Who Put the Lights Out" by Paul Ryan, her next single. Released in January 1971, it spent eleven weeks in the UK charts. That would be her last hit for Decca. She joined GTO Records in 1974, and "Please Tell Him That I Said Hello" (Shepstone/Dibbens), her first release for them, sent her back into the charts. As did "It's Gonna Be a Cold Cold Christmas" (Greenaway/Stephens), "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" (Eric Carmen), "Fairytale" (Paul Greedus) and the amusing "Something's Cookin' in the Kitchen" (D.Jordan).

On 5 October 1978 she married Damien Scallon, a hotelier and businessman from Newry. The wedding took place at St Eugene's Cathedral in Derry with four hundred guests. Thousands turned out to witness the occasion, with factories and schools given a half-day holiday. They spent their honeymoon in Grenada. The couple first met, albeit briefly, in 1970 when Dana had a street named after her and a reception was held in Damien's Ardmore Hotel in Newry.

1980s — Catholic taste

Dana's parents had a strong sense of religious duty and she and her siblings were taught the importance of daily prayer and going to Mass on Sundays. Despite a few doubts along the way she never lost her faith. Not long after her Eurovision victory she was asked to do a religious programme, Sing a New Song, for the BBC. Then came an appearance before 20,000 people in Hyde Park. The occasion was the Christian Festival of Light, the climax of a rally against "sexploitation" that began in Trafalgar Square. Epilogues for Southern TV followed, and a Christian documentary, Who Is Rosemary Brown, was made in 1974. BBC Radio invited her to present a thirteen-week Christian show called I Believe in Music, broadcast in 1977. She wrote her first Christian song, "Praise the Lord", while on honeymoon. Her Wake Up Sunday series was a religious programme for children. In 1979, she and Damien were inspired to write a Catholic song, "Totus Tuus", named after the motto of Pope John Paul II, who came to Ireland that year. It entered the Irish singles chart on 16 December and stayed there for nine weeks, peaking at number one. The much larger American Christian market began to appeal, as did making an album.

In the mean time, Warwick Records issued "Everything is Beautiful" in late 1980. Subtitled "Twenty Inspirational Songs", the album contained pop classics like "Let it Be", "Morning Has Broken" and "My Sweet Lord". It was followed by "Totally Yours" in 1981, her first Christian album for Word Records.

Dana Rosemary Scallon, better known to Eurovision fans as Dana, was a big star on both sides of the Irish Sea in the 1970s after overcoming Spanish idol Julio Iglesias to win the 1970 contest with her song 'All Kinds of Everything'.
Rosemary Sheeran was born, one of seven children, on August 30, 1951 in Londonderry's solidly Roman Catholic Creggan estate and was raised in Rossville Street where 13 Catholic demonstrators were shot dead by British troops on 'Bloody Sunday' in 1972.
