These Irish Country Music Stars Are Re-Connecting With Their Fans Through Phone Calls

It's nearly a year since live music came to a pause, and it's badly missed by both the fans and the artists themselves.

There's a new project in the Irish Country music scene that lets the musicians keep in touch with their fans, and Cliona Hagan joined Mairead on the show to tell her how you can take part.

The Reach Out Project is the brainchild of Trudi Lawlor and Billy Morrissey who have teamed up with Cliona as well as Daniel O'Donnell, Nathan Carter, Una Healy and loads more, to have phone calls with their fans.

Cliona told Mairead about some of the chats she's had this past week and how brilliant it is to be able to do something as simple as a phone call to lift someone's spirits.

If you want to nominate someone you think would really benefit from getting a call from their favourite country music star, you can send a message to the Reach Out Facebook page and Trudi will take it from there.
