The set list will include highlights from 'When Ronan Met Burt', 'Duet', 'Stay' and 'Songs for My Mother', plus hits like When You Say Nothing At All, Life Is A Rollercoaster, Lovin' Each Day, If Tomorrow Never Comes, The Long Goodbye and many more. His latest album, 'When Ronan Met Burt' (Universal Music), celebrates Ronan's unique teaming with legendary composer Burt Bacharach and includes reworked classics such as Walk On By, I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, The Look Of Love and Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do). Sharon Corr will be Ronan's special guest. Hugely successful as a member of The Corrs, Sharon is now finding success as a solo artist, with the release of her debut album 'Dream Of You' (Warner Music). Over the course of their 15-year career, The Corrs sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, featuring massive singles such as Runaway, Radio, Forgiven Not Forgotten, So Young and Breathless.
