The Late Late Show has unveiled its line-up for this week's Country Music Special.
Patrick Kielty will be joined by American singer-songwriter Ashley Campbell, direct from Nashville, the daughter of the late, great country music legend Glen Campbell.
Ashley will tell us about her special love for Ireland, touring with her dad and her memories of Shane MacGowan popping by backstage. She'll also perform a rendition of Gentle On My Mind.
Country music sensation Nathan Carter will perform his new single, Walk on Faith, from his new album, Doing Alright.
Nathan will also share his future plans, which include a career highlight - his first-ever performance at Carnegie Hall in New York this Halloween.
Patrick will be joined by Cliona Hagan and some of Ireland's biggest country music stars to celebrate the life and legacy of music icon Dolly Parton. They'll share stories of her inspirational career, her connection to Ireland and they'll perform some of her most beloved songs.
And from music icons to up-and-comers - Jesse Sludds will be back in The Late Late Show studio. Jesse was the winner of The Late Late Show Opening Act competition back in April and went on to open for Shania Twain at Thomond Park in Limerick in July in front of 25,000 people.
Jesse will announce the release of his new single Dear Home and give an update on life since winning the competition.
Una Healy, who launched The Late Late Show Opening Act search earlier this year and was part of the judging panel, will drop by for a chat and will treat viewers to a performance of one of the biggest country crossover hits of all time, alongside Clodagh Lawlor and Claudia Buckley.
Also appearing on the night will be Jimmy Buckley, Sandy Kelly, David James, Trudi Lalor and Ciarán Rosney.
The Late Late Show, Friday at 9.35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
