COUNTRY star Derek Ryan is set to return to Scotland next month as part of a four-date run of shows.
The Enniskillen singer will kick off the Scottish tour at the Buccleuch Centre in Landholm on Thursday, September 24, before travelling to Inverness for a show at Eden Court Theatre the following evening.
Derek will then perform at the Thainstone Centre in Inverurie on Saturday, September 26, where fans can enjoy a special dance event.
The Scottish trip will conclude at Eastwood Park Theatre in Glasgow on Sunday, September 27.
The announcement comes during another busy period for the popular country star, who has continued to balance new music with an extensive live schedule.
Derek recently released his latest single, ‘Plough On Paddy’, a feel-good track written with rising country artist Jack Keogh and songwriter Gerry Carney.
The upbeat song celebrates hardworking characters and the spirit of Irish summer nights, with Derek describing the writing session as great fun.
“From the minute we finished it, we knew it had a real summer feel to it,” he said.
“I can’t wait for everyone to hear it and hopefully we’ll see plenty of dancing to it over the next few months!”
The new release followed a successful Beat in the Heat trip to Torremolinos, where Derek performed alongside a packed line-up of entertainment.
He has also had a busy run of live appearances, including a headline slot at the Farmers Bash at Belsonic in Belfast, while his Songwriter Tour has offered audiences a more intimate experience.
Derek, who lives in Enniskillen, has also curated a special YouTube playlist featuring acoustic versions of some of his best-known songs.
The recordings were captured during his Songwriter Show at The Backstage Theatre.
