    I'll step up to the plate so....
    Ronan Keating to join Daniel O'Donnell and Nathan Carter for Late Late Show Country Special Big Tom Tribute
    https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/television/tv-news/ronan-keating-to-join-daniel-odonnell-and-nathan-carter-for-late-late-show-country-special-big-tom-tribute-36825786.html

    Former Boyzone star Keating will also be in studio to talk about the country origins of When You Say Nothing At All and he will perfom the song with new star Lisa McHugh.

    Meanwhile, Sandy Kelly will sing Islands in the Stream and Nathan Carter and Cliona Hagan will perform a duet of Hurts So Good. In Circle of Friends the country stars will celebrate major hits and there will be a special nod to Glen Cambpell who passed away in August.

    Other stars appearing on the Country Special will be Gloria, Philomena Begley, Jimmy Buckley, Declan Nerney,Mike Denver, Michael English and Robert Mizzell.

    The man was very liked. The rest seems to be the usual Nathan Carter outing.
    Not sure what Drone-on is doing in the mix but maybe Lisa McHugh is one of Louis?

    I'm sure the tea boy from the RTE canteen is relieved he's been bumped.

    Lisa McHugh is a Scots country, Nathan's distaff counterpart.
    Ronan - well, he sings country covers - Keith Whitley's You Say It Best When You Say Nothing At All, Garth Brook's Tomorrow Never Comes.
    A godfather of boyfolk.

    What!! Another country special?? This is getting beyond a joke now. They've already done this. In fact, i think they did another one since and it's all the same guests again, except for Big Tom and there's the misery slot right there. "So Tom, how did you feel when you realised you had just died and life, for you, was over?"

    I'm not putting myself through another Country show. I'm out.

    Much like there is no real need for a Valentine's special every year there is definitely no need for a Country music special every year.

    Irish and country is a genre it itself it is not? So McHugh would be Irish and country, my parents were at a concert of hers last month.

    Scots country and Irish country are pretty tied. Sydney Devine (who's basically the Scottish Big Tom) even did work for Emerald Gem records.

    Whether or not you're a fan of country music, I hope you boardsies will join me in raising a glass to Big Tom.

    RIP.

    I love country and western music. Big Tom was a legend and my favourite singer. I really hope the late late show honour him tonight with the true Irish singers who he liked and respected. And not attention seeking wannabes. Here goes....

    Ah sure, I like the annual Country Hooley.

    I think the LLS needs more of these themed nights, they should shake the format up now and then like they used to when Gay was in charge.

    Looking forward to the LLS Nu-Metal night.

    John Spillane mixing it up with Papa Roach.

    Make it happen! :D
