Giddy up cowboy! We’re going country this Friday!
Yes, The Late Late Country Special is back this week and we couldn’t be more excited.
And we will have a stacked line-up of country stars over the course of the show.
This Friday night Patrick Kielty brings together the biggest and brightest stars on the Irish country music scene.
This week’s show will have something special for the newest of country music fans to the oldest. Lisa McHugh, Lee Matthews, Cliona Hagan and Sandy Kelly will showcase a host of tunes from chart topping hits to some old familiar classics.
The special will remember the country singer and songwriter Kris Kristofferson, who passed away earlier this week. Daniel O’Donnell and Eastenders star turned country singer Shona McGarty will pay tribute.
Queens of Country Philomena Begley, Susan McCann and Margo will sit down for a chat with Patrick, while Derek Ryan and The Kilfenora Céilí Band will have viewers bopping in their seats!

Another star will be inducted into The Late Late Show Country Music Hall of Fame. Oh and, there is a huge surprise for one unsuspecting Irish country fan…
