To mark his ten years on the road, Keepin’ ‘Er Country at Home hooks up with Derek Ryan at his new home in Fermanagh, as he reflects on his music career from boyband teen idol to the hottest ticket on the country music circuit.

Derek has topped the charts with hits such as God’s Plan and Hold Onto Your Hat, and has experienced many highs and lows over
his years on the road, playing everywhere from dance halls and festivals to sell-out stadiums.

We find out how he got his big break in country music with the song that changed his life, and the Keepin’ ‘Er Country archive is raided as Derek relives the moment he provided the live soundtrack to a rather unusual situation - his first gig in a stable!

Derek speaks about the standout moments from his musical journey, we catch up with the family, and there is a sneak preview of a new song about up his life on the road.

And Derek gets back on stage as he brings his whole band back together to perform a gig in a real venue for a virtual audience of some of his biggest fans. He will be joined on stage by one of his all-time idols, Sharon Shannon, for a unique virtual duet.
