The one thing we all learned from that whole Garthgate fiasco, is that this island of ours is home to a shed load of country music fans. You probably know one, and if you don't, it's YOU.
So The Late Late Show have decided it's time to give the fans what they want and have a full on Late Late Show country music special. Ye ha!
They will even have the one and only Daniel O'Donnell along as, fresh from his stint in the Strictly ballroom. He will be chatting to Ryan about becoming even more of a household name in the UK and life as one of Ireland’s most iconic music stars, as well as singing a song for all the adoring mammies out there.
Ireland’s king of country, Big Tom, will be making a rare appearance. At nearly 80-years-old, Big Tom remains one of the biggest draws on the Irish country scene. And to top it off for country fans, he will be joined by The Mainliners as he performs his enduring hit Four Country Roads.
Yeah we don't know who they are either but country music fans sure as hell do.

A country music show would of course not be complete without Mr Nathan Carter in the mix. He will be dropping in for a chat and to sing a very unique rendition of his famous hit Wagon Wheel.
So who else makes the line up? Only Mike Denver, Philomena Begley, Ray Lynam, Declan Nerney and TR Dallas, as well as Raggle Taggle Gypsy singer Derek Ryan and the latest star on the country scene, Lisa McHugh. Finally, The Three Amigos - Jimmy Buckley, Robert Mizzell and Patrick Feeney - will be reuniting for the night.
Apparently audience seats for tomorrow's night's show are in high demand with Ryan Tubridy saying, "The response has been phenomenal and the line-up is huge. We have been actively promoting the country scene on The Late Late Show for the last six years, bringing classic acts to a new generation and introducing the big new names. Getting all those people into one room is going to be lots of fun."
So have your stetson's on hand and get ready to bust out the old line dancing moves, because it's going to be a hell of a hoedown on tomorrow night's Late Late.
