This Friday night, Patrick Kielty hosts a very special Late Late Show as the Country Music Special marks its 10th anniversary.
To celebrate a decade of memorable performances, many of the biggest names in Irish country will take to the stage for a night of hits, classics and surprise collaborations.
Priscilla Presley will join Patrick to talk about her memoir Softly As I Leave You. She will reflect on her marriage to Elvis, life after their divorce, her commitment to his legacy and her relationship with her daughter Lisa Marie. She will also discuss Lisa Marie's marriage to Michael Jackson and how she has found joy again despite the tragedies in her life.
The Three Amigos and the Rejoice Choir will pay tribute to Elvis with a country twist, while Daniel O’Donnell, Declan Nerney, Susan McCann and Philomena Begley will be on the Late Late couch to celebrate ten years of the Country Music Special. As always, one artist will be surprised with induction into The Late Late Show Country Music Hall of Fame.
Hollywood star John C. Reilly will also appear to share his love of Irish music and culture. He will talk about his recent trip to Co Kerry, the inspirations behind his new project, Mister Romantic and what audiences can expect from his Dublin show at the Ambassador Theatre.
The Late Late Show Country Music Special, RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, Friday at 9:35pm
