He had a special message for his fans: "Thank you to everyone listening in Northern Ireland it's such a beautiful country."

Listeners heard how talking to John was making him miss Northern Ireland adding: "It's almost my second home at the minute."

He revealed the reason behind his love for here:

"There's also a hell of a lot of Bushmills in me as well."

Not only a cracking artist, the Yorkshire man is generous with his profits. He promised fans if they ever bumped into him in Belfast; "all drinks are on me.
