Nathan Carter is keeping it country

Nathan Carter has a new TV show starting on Sunday and a big gig lined up in Dublin in the spring. Life sure is good, he tells Ed Power

NATHAN Carter recently fulfilled a life-long ambition to duet with a Spice Girl. The chart-topping country singer is regarded as an Irish phenomenon but grew up in Liverpool, and as a kid worshipped the Spice Girls — Scouser Mel in particular.

“I had all the posters on my walls,” he says. “I went to see Spice World. To sing with Mel C was really cool.”
