With all the dancehalls closed, some of Ireland’s biggest country music stars are inviting us into their homes for some very special performances – and their fans are dancing along at home too.

Nathan Carter, Robert Mizzell, Jim Devine and Lisa McHugh give viewers a rare glimpse into their private lives as they look back on their careers and talk about what they’ve been up to during the lockdown. We also filmed a one-off special with Derek Ryan. 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.
