In 2015 we saw Kip Moore live for the first time in the UK at C2C Festival with an exceptional set. He returned to C2C in 2018 and we were baffled to why he wasn’t higher up on the bill after last time as his set was worthy […]
Many of us had been waiting years for Thompson Square to make their debut in the UK. I am not entirely sure Keifer and Shawna were even aware of their audience here and going by the amount of tears Shawna shed throughout their set, I am going to […]

The Wandering Hearts have become a familiar feature on UK country festival schedules. Having played the inaugural Black Deer Festival the group were invited back and this year were upgraded to a main stage slot. AJ, Chess and Tara were joined by guitar, bass and drums to provide […]
