CMAT's mother 'speechless' after watching her daughter on stage at Glastonbury
The mother of pop singer CMAT has told how she was "speechless" when she watched her famous daughter perform at Glastonbury. Sinead Thompson said she never thought one day she would see her daughter - whose real name is Ciara Mary-Alice - perform in front of thousands of music fans at the UK festival last Friday. Speaking on 2FM Breakfast with Carl, Roz and Aisling, Sinead said she was "giddy" with enjoyment when she saw her daughter, from Dunboyne, Co Meath, on the Pyramid Stage. Sinead said: "It was absolutely amazing. I couldn't speak and that's not like me. I was giddy with enjoyment and full of fun." Sinead admitted she did shed a tear with pride when she saw CMAT on stage. "Of course I did. It was unreal. You might dream of it but you'd never think your child would end up like that." Speaking about CMAT's childhood, she said her daughter was always interested in music and was influenced by The Beatles because of Ryan Tubridy's former radio show on RTE Radio One. "The Beatles were a big thing for her because of Ryan Tubridy. "When nobody bought records, Ciara was coming in with a record." But she admitted that being a middle child has always kept her grounded, despite her super stardom - with Sinead joking that her siblings would never let her get away with anything. "Absolutely. 100 per cent. She is the exact same. She'll never not be grounded being the third child of a family of four. They don't let her away with anything," she said jokingly. It comes after The Guardian described her as a "spectacularly brilliant" performer, speculating that this show could pave the way for an even bigger surge in her popularity, outlining a "rapturous reaction" to her set. "When she successfully encourages the audience to engage in synchronised dance moves to I Wanna Be a Cowboy, Baby!, she looks quite startled at what a crowd this size enthusiastically dancing in unison looks like," The Guardian review reads. "It's all incredibly engaging and preposterously good fun. "The Rolling Stones said CMAT 'has it all' and will be one of the defining artists of 2025." "Her songs are catchy, poignant and well-crafted; on stage, she's a powerhouse of performance, cracking gags and diving into the crowd, but not forgetting to make her final statement a call for a free Palestine. It's rare that a standout set, unlikely to be beaten for the whole weekend, arrives so early on the Friday afternoon at Worthy Farm, but the Irish singer is on a roll of stunning momentum right now."

Next year's 'fallow year' will be the first planned in eight years, after 2020 and 2021 were forced to be 'fallow years' due to the pandemic. Glastonbury Festival organiser Emily Eavis previously spoke of the importance of the interval year, explaining on the BBC Sidetracked podcast that 'it gives the land a rest, and it gives the cows a chance to stay out for longer and reclaim their land.' She added; 'I think it's important, I think it gives everybody time to just switch off and the public as well. It is a lot, isn't it? 'You kind of go away for a bit and it feels lovely when you come back.'
