The Nathan Carter Show, Episode 4 of 4, RTÉ One, Sunday, November 26th at 9.30pm
There’s something for everyone in the last episode of the current run of The Nathan Carter Show, including a medley of Van Morrison’s songs and a fabulous version of Something Inside So Strong.
Nathan welcomes to the stage the original Cockney rebel Steve Harley to perform the song that made him famous – Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me).
First lady of Celtic music Moya Brennan is in fine form as she and her harp duet with Nathan and his accordion on an old traditional Irish song; folk ‘n’ rollers The High Kings perform a couple of rousing songs … and expect lots of screaming fans as JLS star Aston Merrygold teaches Nathan some very cool dance moves!
Nathan is always up for a challenge, especially when it involves fast cars – so what happened when he took on the world’s youngest stunt driver in a high-speed race where there can only be one winner?
