Offaly singer set for Hot Country TV Awards return

Colin Kenny, the man behind the hit singles, ‘The Best Song of All Time', and more recently, 'I'm A Country Singer', has been confirmed as one of the artists who will be performing at this year's Hot Country TV Awards concert in April.

The Hot Country TV Awards are traditionally regarded as one of the biggest nights on the country calendar in Ireland, for fans and artists alike. Almost all of the biggest names in the business are due to entertain an audience in excess of one-thousand. And Banagher-born singer/songwriter Colin will be returning to perform at this prestigious event for the third year running.

"Like so many country artists in Ireland, I've been very lucky in the support I've received from Hugh O' Brien, founder of Hot Country. Not only does he play my videos on his show, but he's been kind enough to invite me along to be a part of this great night, too. For the last two years, I had the honour of being one of the artists who got the whole night underway. Now, as any singer will tell you, anytime you get to sing to an audience this size, that's a good night!.

'So I've loved my experience at the show over the last two years, mixing with so many lovely fans afterwards, and of course getting to spend time in the company of so many of the other artists as well. It's rare enough when everyone gets to be in the one place at the one time. But if there's a night when everybody tries to make that happen, it's the Hot Country Awards!"

Colin debuted his #1 single, 'The Best Song of All Time' at last year's show. Can fans expect another surprise this year? "Well, you'd never know! I'm putting the finishing touches to my new single at the moment, and it's going to be another original of my own. I think we're nearly there with it, so I'd say it will probably be released before the awards come around. But it could well end up being what I perform on the night. I'll keep you posted on that!"
Colin will be performing at the Hot Country TV Awards Concert on April 29th, at the Slieve Russell Hotel in Cavan. For more info on this event, contact hotel reception on 049-952 6444.
