Episode Description
Backstage at Belfast’s SSE Arena, Kirstie catches up with Drake Milligan ahead of his set — fresh off a properly “crazy” bus journey from Belgium via the tunnel, Scotland and the ferry, with the best seat in the house on the top deck taking in the scenery.Drake chats Elvis roots (from tribute gigs to landing Sun Records), why he pulled out after getting a “yes” on American Idol, and how five years in Nashville set him up for America’s Got Talent and his big run since 20/20 and Tumbleweed.Plus: Belfast snacks, Cadbury vs US chocolate, a crash course in local sayings, what to expect from tonight’s rocking 50-minute party… and his dream of opening for George Strait (or Willie).
