A brand new Country Music show Jetset Country will debut on Sky Showcase TV on Wednesday 14th November at 7pm, and every week thereafter, taking Country Music Television in the UK and Ireland to the next level.
Presented by top Belfast-based journalist and promoter Malcolm McDowell, Jetset Country will feature intimate interviews with artists in their homes, in the recording studio and on location at concerts and shows. In association with Jack Daniels, it will be the first Country Music TV show to be co-produced by teams in Nashville and Ireland.
The show will be a springboard to create new, exciting opportunities for artists from both sides of the Atlantic. From March 2013, Jetset Country will present ‘The Grand Ole Opry of Ireland’ shows from the brand new, state-of-the-art Titanic Theatre in Belfast, where legends of American Country Music will share the stage with local Irish talent. There are also plans to stage the largest Country Music Festival in Europe on the slipways where Titanic was built.
As well as bridging the gap between Ireland and the USA, Jetset Country will offer greater potential to reach new audiences than other Country Music outlets that currently exist. As well as airing via Sky Showcase TV (Sky channel 191/Freesat 403), the show will be available through digital streaming platform My-TV-Now. As a result, the show will be viewable on iPod’s, iPad’s and other compatible devices around the world.
Malcolm McDowell has a diverse array of experience in entertainment journalism, advertising, marketing, media promotion, events management, and publishing. Most recently, Malcolm signed three of the biggest Irish Country superstars – internationally renound Mary Duff, Scottish singer Ann Williamson, and Eurovision Showband legend Muriel Day. The trio  will tour together with the ‘Follow The Girls’ tour, taking in smaller, intimate cabaret venues around the world.
