With him will be his band led by Gerald O’Donoghue on steel guitar, Rogedr Brady from Claremorris on drums, Noel Clarke from Ferbane on bass, John O’Brien from Meath on fiddle and Noreen Ryan from Kilkenny on acoustic guitar and keyboards. 

Another well known and loved artist that will be making the trip to the Kingdom is the ‘Wee man from Strabane’ the BBC presenter Hugo Duncan. After exploding onto the scene in the 1970’s Hugo and his band have been banging out the hits such as the iconic tune ‘Dear God’ and many more.

Led by Mary Murray Burke with her son Derek and Dervla the band have received international stardom with their unique take on country classics as well as their own songs. “It’s really exciting to be heading to Tralee with Ocean FM. Myself , Derek and Dervla are really looking forward to seeing everyone down there”, she said.

A man well known in the south of the country for his love of country music Willie O’Keefe will be lending some local flavour to the line up.
A native of Lisgoold in East Cork  he played in his father's band so Willie grew up in a house steeped in Irish Country music.
In 1987 Willie came to the notice of Louise Morrissey who, at that time, was putting her new Country band together and he was offered the job as drummer and he has never looked back. Willie spent a total of seven years on the road with the band. While Willie was working with Louise, his talent as a fine singer did not go unnoticed.
Willie decided to record an album called Blue Eyes along with quite a few singles. Country music is a huge love for Willie and quite recently became a presenter on Irish Country Music Radio.com.
