Irish country star Derek Ryan has Plowright date

Derek has become a sell-out artist in his homeland and has topped the Ireland’s national charts and the UK iTunes country charts with his albums and singles.

His theatre shows contain much of the music featured on his studio albums including many of his own self-penned songs, God’s Plan, Life Is A River and Hold on to your Hat.

Derek fulfilled a dream of recording in the USA last year working with Nashville producing royalty, Jeff Balding whose studio credits include working with Don Henley, Dolly Parton and Shania Twain.

He collaborated too with a team of musicians who play for superstars such as Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Lady Antebellum.

Derek said: “When Jeff heard the songs, he said ‘look, I think this is going to be a great record’.

“That really gave me such confidence. It was an amazing experience because we recorded all of my own songs.”

He is at the Plowright Theatre on Friday, September 30 at 7.30pm.

Tickets priced £19 are available now from the box office on 0844 8542776 or online at www.plowrighttheatre.com
