Just six months ago Courtney Marie Andrews was playing an acoustic set to 80 people in a pub in Guildford. Read my review here. Last week she sold out two nights at London’s prestigious Bush Hall. Her take on this meteoric rise to fame will be covered in […]
Miranda Lambert ended her European headline shows (apart from Harvest Festival this weekend in Ireland) in London on Wednesday night. After a string of solid performances it was clear that London was the show stopper and the night that she is most likely to take home with her […]
