DEREK RYAN described his appearance at this year’s St Patrick’s Day Festival in Trafalgar Square as a career highlight.
Considering the singer songwriter has toured the world in his former boy band days with D-Side and having had top 10 hits in the UK and a number one in Japan, it makes his London open air appearance special.
Derek is no stranger to London, having lived in Fulham for a time before returning to Ireland and loves returning to the UK each year.
The Carlow man, who is a many times recipient of awards for his performances and song writing, embarks on a UK tour in 2018, with St Patrick’s night in Islington Assembly Rooms for a dance, being the highlight for his fans in Britain.
Derek hopes to bring back memories of the heyday of dancing in North London when places like the National Ballroom in Kilburn and the Galtymore played host to many Irish country singers.
At the dance on St Patrick’s night he will be joined by Louise Morrissey.
