Nathan Carter - Born For The Road (2018)

Nathan Carter is a sensation! In Ireland he outsold One Direction, Pharrell Williams and Michael Buble, and became the first country act to reach number one in the Irish charts in 2013 after Garth Brooks, six years before. He is an exciting feature on the UK Country scene, and once again tops the Irish charts with his fifth album 'Where I Wanna Be' which features his unique blend of Celtic, country and pop! Not bad for the cherubic former head choir boy who sang for Pope John Paul ll in Rome. Currently on tour in Scotland, he will soon bring his tour bus to Wales and England which culminates in a sold-out London Palladium date on the 28th May. Nathan was born on 28th May 1990, growing up in Liverpool.

Nathan soon became a member of the Liverpool Ceili band, playing accordion and piano, and solo performances soon followed in Liverpool and Ireland. On a trip to Donegal in 2009, Nathan was appearing in concert in Buncrana, where he met with songwriter John Farry.
