The pandemic left Ronan Keating with a longing for home and in his new album Songs From Home, he's celebrating Irish music and the songs that molded him.

This morning, Ronan joined The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show to talk all about the new album - from choosing the right songs to the pressure of taking on classics like 'Raglan Road', 'Where The Streets Have No Name' and 'No Frontiers'.

Ronan also shared his experience duetting with his wife Storm on the Damien Rice hit, 'The Blower's Daughter'.

And if a new album wasn't enough, Ronan is also busy presenting his own breakfast radio show in the UK, as well as co-presenting BBC's The One Show. He told Ian about how his hardworking Dad Gerry has inspired his own work ethic.
