Nathan Carter

[leenie]

I have been known to part take in the country scene .. A few years back I couldn't imagine I would have but I have had some deadly nights and it's great for meeting people.. There is a few who sing popular culture songs as well as country, Johnny Brady was doing rock music before country and was unreal , but I suppose he moved into the country as there is money in it ..

If it's the jiving your after Buckley and mizzell are the ones
If it's the Craic it's, Johnny Brady Jim Devine and Derek Ryan

Nathan doesn't do venues like the tullyglass and riding-dale anymore

Did someone mention muck savage thread 

Is the country scene filling the void left by modern nightclubs and lack of slow sets?

I've never seen anyone curting on the dance floor .. Was out at a 'nite club' recently and it was stuffed with drunk ppl in there own groups or fellas following girls around like puppy's .. This doesn't happy on country nights .. Everyone mixes and there's no pushing and shoving

And it's not checked shirts and Stetson .. The girls are far more classy and well dressed and less drunk .. And if you are a fella who can dance your sorted .. I know a fella who has queues of women waiting to dance him .( which I do find amusing). You're actually doing something and you get to talk to the person ..in a nite club you just drink and look the curt

Most clubs you are guaranteed the ride, country nights no. Unless u are prepared to go for some old divorcee

Carter is supposedly a bit of a bollix behind the scenes. From the horse's mouth.

I've heard similar

[general_lee]

The gobshite completely ruined one of my all time favourite songs (Wagon Wheel) and for that, I wish a plague of locusts on all his houses.

Ruined it or just made you realise it was shite in the first place?

Wagon Wheel song originally sketched by Bob Dylan. It was later modified by Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show and ruined by Nathan Carter.

How exactly did he ruin it? Is this a mild form of music snobbery/hipster mentality "i loved that song before it was popular and he came along and ruined it". Cos the original ocms version is feckin awful no harm to anyone. (Mumford and Sons do the best version)

Don't understand the hate for him tbh, he's got a good voice, can play a rake of instruments and has the good looks to go with it. He's not my favourite but he's certainly not the worst...

His manager is a Bollox , but I've met carter thru a fundraising event and he came to our local for a pre launch and extremely friendly and when he preformed at our festival he brought all his family but the manager was t**ser, was kicking up a fuss cause there was few tussles in the car park.. And the following night Nathan came back as a customer .. But that was 3 yrs ago so he might not be the same

I think there is a lot of prejudice against Country music. It's not as if chart music is much better ..

On a separate note from Nathan .. Either I'm turning old or missed out but I'm suprised at the amount of girls taking randomers home to their home houses after a nite out .( my recent trip to a night club there was 11 single fellas went down and 4 came back .. The rest all going home with weemin )Back in the day u had to b at uni or living out of home .. I would have been killed if I'd took a stranger home ..

It's all about individual taste surely?
Music snobs make me laugh. What a stupid f**king thing to get uptight about.
Listen to what ever the fcuk you like and don't be minding what anyone else thinks.
There is a thread on here about house music that wouldn't listen to if you paid me but if someone else likes it good for them.
If I like a tune I don't care who it is actually singing it.

What if Alex Ferguson or Rory McIlroy were singing it? Agree with your other points.

I hear they do a great version of A Nation Once Again.

Opinions are like arseholes general.  Everybody has one and most of them are full of shite.

He ruined it for me because I can't listen to the song again without picturing that video in my head.
No snobbery there at all.

Not everyone is a fan.

They are forever playing that dirge in my local. Added to that one of the 2 landladies is a cousin of Big Tom. We are feckin scundered. If i hear 4 roads again i swear i will have a breakdown.

You shouldn't be posting stuff like that on public forums Maddog. Guess what's going to happen next Sunday evening??

The same as every other Sunday evening

[Jim_Murphy_74]

Very strong in East Galway, Connemara Gaeltacht, Roscommon, north Tipp, Mayo, Donegal , Longford, Offaly afaik

Hmmm that reads like a heat map of in-breeding in Ireland.

Maybe a link there...

I hate the way that if you dont like something that's 'popular'  you are a music snob, yet people that only listen to mainstream stuff aren't snobs for not liking anything 'alternative'

I've heard Nathan was a shlippery enough customer when it comes to female fans, I know 2 girls claim to have shifted him and one says he felt her ass... All from Tyrone mind you so ya have to take what they say with a generous pinch of salt
