Pop princess joins galaxy of stars for Coulter music extravaganza
Presented by music maestro Phil Coulter, Coulter & Company runs for 10 nights at UCH from June 22 to June 26 and from July 3 to July 7.
The show will be aired on RTÉ1 from June 27 at 9.30pm and will run over a 10-week period.
While the complete line-up for all 10 shows has still to be announced, artists including Ronan Keating, Atomic Kitten, The Waterboys and The Four of Us have already been confirmed.
Other musical luminaries such as Nanci Griffith, Rebecca Storm and James Galwey are also included in the line-up.
And yesterday, Samantha Mumba confirmed that she will take to the stage on the opening night.
"Samantha Mumba has now confirmed that she will perform on June 22, which is the opening night," said a spokeswoman for the event.
Coulter & Company will also host some of the You're a Star talents, including the two finalists, Mickey Harte and Simon Casey, and Limerick runners-up Lisa Bresnan and Joanne Fahy.
According to Phil Coulter, hosting his own show is a "dream come true".
He said: "To host my own TV show, interviewing colleagues, friends and many new faces doing what I love best is probably one of the most exciting opportunities that I have worked on to date," he said.
"I recorded a video in University Concert Hall Limerick a few years ago and I wanted to come back and do a show ever since. It was my idea to bring Coulter & Company to Limerick so I'm delighted that the show has worked out so well to date.
"The people of Limerick have welcomed me with open arms and I am really looking forward to spending time here while I record the shows," he added.
