DEREK Ryan and his band are back in action at The Ulster Hall in Belfast tomorrow night. The singer/songwriter released two albums last year, which also saw Ryan guesting with Daniel O'Donnell at two sold-out shows at the Festival of Stars event in Canada.
The former D-Side man has also recorded a country music show for PBS, which will air in the US in March.
"I love what I do", says Ryan. "I couldn't do it without my fans. Not only do they buy the records – they keep me going!
"That's why I love meeting my fans coming off stage – it's like I'm putting faces to names I see coming up on my Twitter and Facebook all the time!"
The new tour promises a mix of old favourites, classic country and Ryan's original material.
