Celtic will meet country to mark St. Patrick’s day

by Lorraine Gibson

It was more than just the luck of the Irish that saw the emerald isle’s golden boy, Nathan Carter, become the first country act to reach number one in Ireland’s charts in 2013 after Garth Brooks, six years prior. With a vocal style forged from his IrishLiverpool heritage and inspired by country music, Carter’s a regular and hugely popular performer at the Regent so it seems fitting that he’ll be celebrating St Patrick’s Day there in style on Thursday, March 16, from 7.30pm.

A big hitter on the UK Country scene, he’s topped the Irish charts with his fifth album, Where I Wanna Be, which features his unique blend of Celtic, country and pop. Not bad for a cherubic former head choir boy who serenaded Pope John Paul II in Rome. Tickets from theregent.co.uk or call 01202 499199.
