Irish music star visits Stevenage

Nathan Carter comes to the venue on Friday February 10 starting at 7.30pm.

Nathan and his six man band perform a great variety of country, Irish, pop and ballads - music for everyone of all ages.

He is also an expert accordion player so you can expect a bit of hand clapping, foot tapping hooley as well.

Nathan said: “I guess my music is a good mix of country, big ballads/ rock`n`roll / Irish and Celtic music , a real mixed bag I guess , and hopefully something for everyone.”

One of the things that he has done is a bring new following to Irish music, so how has he managed to do that.

He responded: “I guess because I`m relatively young myself – 26-years-old , that younger folks can relate to me a bit more.

“However , I`m very lucky to have fans from 8 to 80 at my shows also.

“I love the challenge of playing new venues and especially in new countries , for example I loved playing in France and Australia last year , and I can`t wait to visit America in September.

“I just love doing what I am doing and I want to continue to grow my career … hopefully in other countries, but also to continue to grow a fan base here in the UK also.”

He also talks a little bit about the challenges that go with writing your own material.

Nathan said: “Songwriting is something that I really enjoy , and yes you have to bare your soul a little , but that’s kinda cool also.

“I`m developing as a songwriter I think , and loving it.”

Tickets for the show cost from £23.50 to £26.
