This is brutal. I'm sick of this sort of junk. All these so called country and Irish singers, are the same. I blame local radio. The d.j's will play this sort of rubbish, but they won't give the small time struggling entertainer a chance at all. Will this be our greatest legacy, in the next 20 or 30 years.? This form of talent, which is no talent at all, has been dubbed country and Irish. However, it is really just Irish singers performing poor original country songs. in my opinion, money has a lot to do with it. The brown envelope, has some power. Most of these modern day fellows are played, because their managers went cap in hand to the d.j's and handed them money. Any struggling pub singer, could challenge this fellow. I'm glad to see, that I'm not alone with my view.

DEREK RYANIN CONCERTFri 13th March, 2015 | Doors 7pm. Show 8pm | Tkts: €27.90 Derek Ryan is now one of the biggest stars of Irish Country Music. In just over three years few artists have made such an impact on the Irish country scene like the County Carlow singer songwriter. Having played to sell out concert audiences around the world with D-Side, the young heartthrob has brought a distinctive fresh sound to Irish country. Derek Ryan’s theatre show contains much of the music featured on his five albums along with new material that affords him plenty of opportunity to showcase his fine guitar playing and his excellent vocal quality. Derek always had the dream having a career in music - and dreams do come true, as Derek has proven. At 17, his career in music became fulltime, signing to Warner Music London as he became lead singer of Irish pop band D-side, with achievements including several Meteor Awards nominations, a multi-platinum selling single ‘Real World’ in Ireland, adding to his 3 top 10 hits in the UK. live TV appearances included Top of the Pops, GMTV and The Late Late Show along with a sell out theatre tour and number one single in Japan in 2005. Returning to Ireland in September 2009, after several years of gigging on the London function scene, Derek took time to consider many offers that were coming his way. It was at this stage that melodies from his formative years kept coming back to him. Derek got hooked on Nashville greats; like Brooks, Jackson and Strait and so the plans were laid to go for it. Derek’s love and passion for country are best measured in his song writing ability as was seen in his debut single ‘God’s Plan’ - receiving enormous airplay and a deafening call from fans to get on the road to play his hits live. From that moment Derek rarely has a day off, travelling across Ireland playing in crowded Irish dance halls and most recently performing at sell out concerts in England and Scotland.Tickets In-Person: Royal Theatre Box Office, Westport Road, and Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.Tickets By Phone: 094 9023111 or 0818 300 000Tickets Online: Click 'Buy Tickets' button bottom right.

absolutely horrendous-what a horrible "genre" this is-i wont even call it music-as a musician playing to as high a standard as these guys (and beating sharon a number of times in the all ireland fleadh on the box) it is heartbreaking to see people that can obviously play, being reduced to this-what a horrible fact that there is actually an audience as well for this-i know as a listener i feel even more enraged-not as a musician but as a listener this is absolutely hideous- but as i say there is an audience and in the end we get what we deserve........ on this plate you have served it right up.hideous.

christ, the songwriter really stretched themselves with this one. its basically the same lyrics over and over.the only reason im commenting here is that im sick of seeing the ad for the album on tv and i just cant understand the reason to spend so much money on it. you'll be lucky to break even. as for that other carter lad trying to push his crap for xmas, well, good luck with that.

Mairead Doyle

I don't agree about the comparison with Nathan Carter. I love them both, but Derek has a sound all of his own, equally good. Ireland is lucky to be producing such talented artists at this time.
