Alleycats TV has produced Ronan Keating’s Wild Atlantic for BBC Northern Ireland and BBC Daytime.
In the show, Keating travels the west coast of Ireland as he visits Cork, Kerry, Mayo, Sligo, Donegal and Londonderry.
Throughout the series Ronan will be joined by family members and special guests including Westlife’s Shane Filan, artist Terry Bradley and comedian Diona Doherty.
He begins his journey along the Wild Atlantic Way in County Cork, where he is joined by nephew Ruairí as the pair go head‑to‑head in the traditional Irish sport of road bowling. The next stop is County Kerry, where Ronan fulfills some sporting dreams on the hurling pitch and catches up with his brother Gary to head out for some fishing on Killarney’s Lough Leane.
Ronan also travels from County Mayo to Sligo where he meets up with fellow boyband veteran Shane Filan of Westlife for some horse riding on Strandhill Beach. He then sets sail with his nephew Conall to visit Clare Island, a special place for the entire Keating family.
As he heads north, Ronan explores the northwest coast on his motorbike with longtime friend Terry Bradley before taking to the stage for an impromptu performance in one of Donegal’s popular country music venues. The last stop on the journey is Derry, where Ronan visits the Derry Walls with Diona Doherty and hits a farm to find out just what it takes to be a competitive sheepherder.
Ronan Keating’s Wild Atlantic is a BBC Northern Ireland and BBC Daytime co-commission, as part of the Hot House initiative with support from Northern Ireland Screen and Tourism Ireland. The series is produced by Alleycats TV.
