This Donegal singer has gone viral after a chance encounter got him on a huge US radio show

It pays to have the chats.

DIARMAID MCGEE IS a young country singer from Donegal who’s travelling around Nashville, Tennessee right now.

And things are going pretty well for him.

A couple of days ago he met the one and only Garth Brooks

Yesterday, he was in a UPS store in the city when he randomly got chatting to a woman named Morgan who works in production for The Bobby Bones radio show in the city – one of the biggest country music shows about.

Once she realised he could sing, she invited him on air for the craic – and the short video of Diarmaid performing has blown up

After the performance, Morgan said she’d “discovered the country Ed Sheeran in a UPS store, nbd or anything”

The video has been watched over 100,000 times in just over 15 hours, and it’s created quite the buzz
