The Late Late Show Country Special has proven to be a huge hit since it started last year, coming second only the toy show in terms of popularity.
Host Ryan Tubridy commented: “We had tremendous fun on Friday night. The great and the good of Irish country joined us in studio for a very special night of music and chat.
“It’s great that the folks at home enjoyed it in such big numbers. We look forward to celebrating the strength of country music in Ireland again next year.”
