Lewis Capaldi has joined forces with his celebrity pal Niall Horan to bring out a new documentary where the pair road trip around Ireland - and it will be on our screens this weekend.
The documentary titled ‘Niall Horan’s Homecoming: The Road to Mullingar with Lewis Capaldi’ will see the pals make the journey from Dublin to Mullingar with lots of adventures along the way. Filming for the show took place back in August at the Fleadh Cheoil 2022, which was in Niall's hometown of Mullingar.
At the time, pictures showed the pair walking through the town laughing and smiling. They then swung by a mural of Niall, a statue of Joe Dolan and various different shops, with their film crew in toe.
The much anticipated documentary is in collaboration with stout brand Guinness, and announcing the news they said: “Guinness proudly presents, Niall Horan’s Homecoming: The Road to Mullingar with Lewis Capaldi. Three days, two globally recognised musicians, one incredible road trip documented in an episode filled with fun, friendship and laughter. What happens when two of the biggest names in music embark on a road trip in Ireland? A film that captures adventure, friendship, storytelling and non-stop laughter.”
“All inspired by Horan’s desire to revisit and reconnect with all that he loves of home; to retrace the origins of the exciting life journey he’s on and experience the reality of Ireland today, alongside side his best friend, Lewis Capaldi.”
Of course they then made a pit stop to the infamous Guinness Store House and enjoyed a few pints of the stout. Also during filming, the iconic duo went along to the city's Grafton Street as ecstatic fans were treated to a number of hits, with the crowd growing during the performance and now it seems it was all for their new show.
Busker Jacob Koopman managed to keep his composure as the two chart toppers joined him for a number of songs, including Niall's own Slow Hands and Yellow by Coldplay. In fan footage which circulated online at the time, Niall can be seen playing the guitar while Lewis encourages him to belt out Slow Hands and dances along while the pair share a microphone. Busker Jacob also plays the guitar while the trio sing along to Lewis' hit song Before You Go.
Niall previously explained to FM104 that the pair have been pals since 2018, saying: "It started a couple of years ago when I first brought out my album (2017). I did a few shows and then I think it was March 2018 when I met Lewis for the first time."
He explained: "I had written to him on Instagram and told him I was a fan of what I'd seen so far and then (I asked him) if he'd like to come and play a few songs before me at a gig in Glasgow."
The pair will be following in the footsteps of the likes of Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish and Martin Compton and Phil MacHugh, who have roadtrip adventure style shows but based in Scotland.
Niall Horan’s Homecoming: The Road to Mullingar with Lewis Capaldi, will air this Sunday, October 16 at 10pm on Virgin Media One.
