Keepin 'er Country To mark hi years on the road, Keepin' 'Er Country At Home hooks up with Derek Ryan at his new home in Fermanagh as he reflects on his music career from boyband teen idol to the hottest ticket on the country music circuit. We get up close and personal with the singer- songwriter who has topped the charts with hits like God's Plan and Hold Onto Your Hat. There have been highs and lows over a decade on the road playing everywhere from dance halls and festivals to sell-out stadiums, and there's no parish hall in Ireland he hasn't played in and he loves it! We find out how he got his big break into country music with the song that changed his life and has touched the lives of so many people who have walked up the aisle to it on their special day. The Keepin' 'Er Country archive is raided as Derek relives the moment he provided the live soundtrack to a rather unusual proposal. His first gig in a stable! We'll hear about the standout moments from his musical journey, catch up with the family, and get a sneak preview of a new song which sums up his life on the road. And, as a special treat, after a year in lockdown, Derek is getting out of the house and back on the stage. He's bringing his whole band back together for one night only - a gig in a real venue for a virtual audience of some of his biggest fans. He'll even be joined on stage by one of his all-time idols, Sharon Shannon, for a unique virtual duet. There'll be plenty of craic from the fans straight from their living rooms, dancing and singing along to their favourite tunes, and a few other surprises along the way.
