Keepin 'er Country

Derek Ryan and Lisa McHugh get ready to take to the stage for the annual Farmers' Bash – a sold-out show at the biggest venue in the country. After nearly two years of postponements, the fans, many of whom work in the agri-sector, are ready to swap their wellies for their dancing shoes.

Nathan Carter travels to Spain for a week of performances in the sun with hundreds of fans from all over the world, and Philomena Begley heads to Bundoran for a special gig to celebrate two milestones, her 80th birthday and her 60th year on the road.

Jimmy Buckley has been singing and performing for over twenty years and has built up a loyal fanbase. Daughter Claudia is still a relative newcomer to the scene but already she's showing that country music talent runs in the family.

Robert Mizzell and Johnny Brady play the biggest country festival of the summer – the Cowboys and Heroes Festival in Co. Leitrim. It's a weekend that celebrates all things country and Americana, and it can get a little ‘wild west' when the music and the dancing starts!
