"I would sincerely like to see a big crowd at the event to support our young star's and to remember Big T.”

Ireland’s 1st Lady of Country Music Susan McCann will now host the festive event alongside Malcolm McDowell.

Nine of the youngest and most talented, upcoming bright stars from across Northern Ireland and neighbouring Donegal will take to the stage for a festive feel good night of Country and Christmas entertainment.
