It was recorded earlier this year before a live audience over three nights in Derry’s Millennium Forum, featuring legendary host, Daniel O’Donnell and a variety of special guests.

The new series kicks off with Classic Country, featuring Lisa McHugh, John McNicholl, and Gerry Guthrie.

It continues with Country ‘n Irish (to be broadcast on November 4), with Dominic Kirwan, TR Dallas, and Claudia Buckley.

The sixth show in the new series Celtic Country (December 2) welcomes Dan McCabe, and The High Kings to the stage in Derry.

The series rounds off with two special programmes (December 9 and 16) featuring a pick of highlights of some of the performances from across the six weeks of shows.

Daniel O’Donnell says, “It really was fantastic to be back on stage for this new series of Opry le Daniel ar Thuras. It is always a pleasure to perform in front of the great audiences in Derry’s Millennium Forum. And what a line-up we had this time round, you won’t want to miss it when the series begins on TG4 on October 28.”

Now in its fifteenth season, Ireland’s Number One country music artist Daniel O’ Donnell has hosted the biggest names in country music from the world stage with artists including Charley Pride, Crystal Gayle and Rita Coolidge, and not forgetting many of Ireland’s home-grown talent.

Each programme in the new series will also be available to view after broadcast on the TG4 player.
