Fresh from another hugely successful Beat in the Heat trip in Torremolinos, Derek Ryan is gearing up for his busiest summer yet with the release of his brand new single ‘Plough On Paddy’, available to stream now.

Written by Derek alongside rising Irish country star Jack Keogh and acclaimed songwriter Gerry Carney, ‘Plough On Paddy’ is set to become the soundtrack of the summer. Bursting with energy, catchy hooks and Derek’s trademark feel-good country sound, the track captures the spirit of Irish summer nights and celebrates the hardworking characters that inspired the song.

The release follows Derek’s hugely successful and sold out Beat in the Heat trip in Costa Del Sol, where both Jack Keogh and Gerry Carney joined the huge line up of special guests for a week of jam-packed entertainment in the sun.

Derek said, “We had great fun writing this one together and from the minute we finished it, we knew it had a real summer feel to it. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it and hopefully we’ll see plenty of dancing to it over the next few months!”

Derek Ryan is preparing for a massive summer schedule packed with headline festival appearances, including the hugely anticipated Farmers Bash at Belsonic in Belfast this June.

Adding to the excitement, Derek will also be back on the road with his brand new Songwriter Tour this summer, giving fans a unique opportunity to hear the stories behind his biggest songs in an intimate live setting.

‘Plough On Paddy’ is available on all streaming and download platforms now. All tour and ticket info at derekryanmusic.com.
