The Late Late Show has launched a brand new double-album showcasing 21 unique performances from the show, to raise money for St Vincent de Paul - and we can't recommend it enough.
As Seen On The Late Late Show features more than 40 Irish and international acts, and includes one-off live tracks drawn directly from the last ten years of the TV show, including homegrown legend Christy Moore singing 'Delirium Tremens', Damien Rice with the Dublin Gospel Choir performing Trusty & True’, Hozier with 'Angel Of Small Death & The Codeine Scene', Gavin James with ‘Bitter Pill’ and Walking on Cars and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra’s Speeding Cars.

One of the highlights of the album is the never-to-be-repeated version of Big Tom’s classic 'Four Country Roads' featuring the man himself, singing alongside the cream of Irish country music: Daniel O’Donnell, Nathan Carter, Philomena Begley, Sandy Kelly, The Three Amigos, Mike Denver, Dominic Kirwan and TR Dallas, to name but a few.

Ryan Tubridy said: “Ever since Gay first stepped onto The Late Late Show set so many moons ago and right through Pat’s time at the helm, continuing to the present day, music has been a regular and critical part of the show’s equation. We have had the good fortune to welcome some of the best musicians that this country and, indeed, the world has to offer. We hope this album reflects The Late Late Show’s rich musical heritage. The St Vincent de Paul is an incredibly impressive charity and a very worthy cause and I hope this album will help them in their work”.
All artists and labels involved are joining RTÉ in donating their profits from the sale of the album to St Vincent de Paul. You can buy the CD in shops nationwide, or directly from iTunes here.
