Ronan Keating shares Mayo ‘Wild Atlantic’ experience with British TV viewers

A new TV series, Ronan Keating’s Wild Atlantic, fronted by singer and presenter Ronan Keating and supported by Tourism Ireland, began airing in Britain on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on Monday last (April 6).

In the series, Ronan takes viewers on an epic journey along Ireland’s Atlantic coastline, visiting locations that formed part of his childhood holidays, as well as discovering new experiences and meeting some of the people who make this island so special.

Episode three features Co. Mayo. Joined by his nephew Conall, viewers are tuning in to Ronan trying his hand at a traditional loom and foraging for plants to make natural wool dyes on Clare Island.

Aidan Power, Tourism Ireland’s director of marketing, commented: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to support the production of Ronan Keating’s Wild Atlantic through our International Programming Ireland Fund. Our Atlantic coastline is truly spectacular, and we are excited that viewers in Britain are following Ronan on his special journey.”

Ronan Keating added: “It’s felt really special making this series, rediscovering magical places that have meant so much to me and my family. I was 16 when I left Ireland, and there was so much of the west coast I hadn’t seen. Now I’m coming home, and I can’t wait for viewers to share all the laughter and tears along the way.”
