Despite such a busy career farming on the north coast, Jim has been involved with the Maiden City group for nearly 20 years.
So what is it about the 'Derry air' that makes this 'Dairy' man clock up the miles to travel to sing with LMS?
"I went over for the music and stayed for the craic," he said, encouraging all country music lovers to buy their tickets now for the hilarious musical 9 to 5 based on the Dolly Parton 80s film of the same name.
