Nathan Carter

Nathan Carter is the brightest young singing star to hit Ireland for many years.  Nathan was born in the City of Liverpool. At the age of four he found his love for music and was given a piano accordion, which he quickly mastered.  At seven, Nathan started to enter Fleadh Ceoil Competitions in Accordion and Singing.  At 15, he won the All Ireland Title for Traditional Singing.   Nathan was determined to seek a career in the Music Industry, and at the tender age of 16 years, decided to leave school and follow his dream. 

His début album “Starting Out” contained such Country Classics as ‘Working Man;’ ‘Look  At Us;’ ‘40 ‘Shades Of Green’ and Irish Standards ‘Isle Of Innisfree;’ ‘Carrickfergus’ and ‘Erin Gra Moi Chroi’ - both Traditional Classics. “Starting Out” was a terrific success for a first album and it opened many doors that would otherwise be firmly locked, to someone so young. 

As a result of the popularity of “Starting Out,” Nathan was invited to perform, on two of the famous Cruises and at Resort Residencies organised by Enjoy Travel.  This experience led to invitations to perform, with great aplomb at high-profile dancing and concert venues throughout the UK.  In his first year on the music scene, Nathan was invited to ‘open’ for such Giants of the Irish entertainment industry as Tommy Fleming, Philomena Begley, Big Tom, Jimmy Buckley, Susan McCann and Mike Denver.

In February 2008, Nathan was pleasantly surprised to be invited by the organisers, to attend The Irish World Awards Gala Night, at the Galtymore Dance Club, Cricklewood.  Nathan was even more astounded, when he was announced as the “The Best Male Newcomer, Award Winner” for 2007. 2008 continued to be a very busy time for Nathan Carter; he built on his success, with his second album “On The Road.” Nathan created quite a stir amongst radio presenters, with many top DJ’s choosing his second offering as their Album of the Week. 

Interviews followed at stations up and down the country. In 2009 Nathan Carter moved to  Northern Ireland. The Nathan Carter Band gave their first public performance, at a Gala Launch, at Greenvale Hotel, Cookstown, on 21 January, 2010.

Now, Nathan Carter and his Band are mentioned, in nearly every conversation, held by Country Music Fan's, throughout Ireland and the UK Nathan has received, to date some 18 Awards at Gala's in Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connaught, and all of this, in just two, very busy year's on the road.  The Nathan Carter Band is easily, amongst the three Top Bands working, in and out of Ireland. The band consist of Seamus Rooney, Guitar, Stevie Hamilton, Lead and Steel Guitar; Gareth Lowery, Drums; Jim Mc Veigh, Piano and Keyboards. Matt Mc Grennahen on Fiddle & Nathan himself sings and plays Piano Accordion.
