However for those of you who don’t know who everyone is we’ve put together a handy little piece on each songwriter with an overview of their careers so far. Lets start with our host for the evening Brett James. One word… Legend. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Brett perform in writers ..read more

Since the line up for C2C 2018 has been announced there has been a big discussion on social media, some who love the line up, some who don’t and a few who have said… “who?” I personally am delighted with the line up, Kacey Musgraves is one of my favourite artists, Little Big Town recently brought the house down when I went to see them in Manchester and well Tim and Faith, who wouldn’t want to see a couple of legends like them? But there are a few surprising names on the line up and some which required research! And now with the day splits and more artists announced recently, I’m going to take ..read more

Hello! One of the most interesting and outspoken singer-songwriters in Country music today is Angaleena Presley. That is what I love about her, her songs are filled with witty lyrics and subtle little digs at the music industry which could in the hands of the wrong writer come across as whining however the way Angaleena carefully crafts each lyric and how she tells the stories behind the songs live on stage has the audience in uproar! The fact is, she’s right! At the sage she spoke of imagining growing up without Dolly Parton, Martina McBride and Reba McEntire, imagine a world without those st ..read more

Hello! I thought I’d bring you another quick update from the Americana Festival at The Sage Gateshead. I’ve just snuck out as Jim Lauderdale is finishing his set at Sage 2.
