The Nathan Carter Show, Episode 2 of 4, RTÉ One, Sunday, November 12th at 9.30pm

There’s no shortage of great music from Nathan Carter in tonight’s show including a Garth Brooks medley and Wichita Lineman which was a huge hit for late country music legend Glen Campbell.

Tonight’s guests include feisty American country singer Stella Parton who has the audience in stitches as she tells Nathan about the challenges she faced trying to break into the male-dominated country music scene in the 1970s. Stella also performs a special musical tribute to her older sister Dolly.

Pop band Scouting for Girls drop in to sing one of their biggest hits and reminisce about the time they crossed paths with Jedward in Castlebar; Alaskan singer Earl sings a track from her new album and Donna Taggart makes a surprise appearance to perform ‘Jealous of the Angels’, the song that has notched up more than 100 million online views for her.

And there’s an emotional moment for one of Nathan’s biggest fans when the man himself arrives unexpectedly in her kitchen to see how preparations are coming on for a very special 60th anniversary party.

Series Overview

He’s back!  Nathan Carter returns to RTE One for a brand new series of his popular entertainment show and first up his special guests are Shane Filan, Roisin O and Hayseed Dixie.

Following the success of last year’s show, singer Nathan Carter returns to our screens for a brand new four-part series – and packed full of music, chat and entertainment, The Nathan Carter Show is guaranteed to brighten up those long, dark November nights.

Viewers are in for a treat as Nathan performs some of his favourite country, folk and pop songs.  From the late Glen Campbell classic ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’ and the iconic ‘Summer in Dublin’ to show-stopping versions of ‘Live and Let Die’ and ‘Something Inside So Strong’, Nathan is in his element as he struts his stuff, backed by an impressive 17-piece band and encouraged by enthusiastic audiences.

Recorded in the Knocknarea Arena, Sligo, The Nathan Carter Show features an impressive line-up of guests from Ireland, the UK and the US, including Stella Parton, Shane Filan, Martine McCutcheon, Paul Carrack, Aston Merrygold, Steve Harley, Moya Brennan, Johnny McEvoy, Roisin O, Hayseed Dixie, Donna Taggart, Earl, The High Kings and Derek Ryan.  Nathan loves musical collaborations so look out for lots of magical moments as he and his guests team up for some iconic duets including ‘Every Breath You Take’, ‘The Living Years’ and ‘You Raise Me Up’.

There’s no shortage of laughs and gossip as guests share their stories with Nathan – why did Martine McCutcheon have to re-take her kiss with Hugh Grant so many times?  Has Louis Walsh still not got over the Westlife split?  How did a Galway banjo player get into trouble with Barack Obama?  And what is it like having Dolly Parton as your big sister?

Nathan loves a challenge, so see what happened when he travelled around Ireland to surprise a fan in her kitchen, took on the world’s youngest stunt driver in a high-speed race, and disguised himself as an elderly lady to prank three best friends!
