Gig Reviews

It’s probably an understatement to say that we’ve all seen our fair share of live streams over the past 12 months. We’ve had an insight into the living rooms of some of our favourite acts (the joys of lockdown!), and we’ve also seen some wonderful recordings from (sadly) empty venues. […]

Brett Eldredge was one of the stand-out performers at C2C 2019, so anticipation for his follow-up UK tour was inevitably high. Having taken a break from social media and kept himself away from the spotlight for a while, Brett finally has new music on the horizon, and this was a […]

A London landmark, The Betsey Trotwood pub has been extending a warm welcome for well over a century. The Betsey has also built a deserved reputation as a music venue, nothing fancy, a couple of tables and chairs pushed back to create a space for a few guitars and keyboard. […]

Seeing Brandy Clark live is always such a joyous privilege. It’s been well over three years since her sublime ‘Big Day In A Small Town’ album was released, and she had originally planned to do a full UK tour in conjunction with a new album release this year, but there […]

Having seen Michael Ray quite a few times as CMA Fest this year, as well as his performance at the C2C after party back in March, it was a treat to see him stripping it back to an acoustic setup for this October run. There’s a totally different dynamic with […]

Ashley McBryde with special guest Sean McConnell… what better way to spend a Sunday evening in Manchester? Two top class songwriters and performers climbing up the UK country ranks, albeit at different levels. Ashley mesmerised 20,000 people with a stunning set at the O2 back in March at C2C, whilst […]

A huge well done is in order for Baylen and The Long Road team for another fabulous weekend at Stanford Hall. We thought last year was good, but this year’s event really was a top class example of a well-run, family-friendly outdoor festival. The most refreshing thing to see was […]

Tyler Childers is the man of the moment right now. Exciting times for the 29-year-old Kentucky native, who’s just released his brand-new album ‘Country Squire’ to widespread critical acclaim. Produced by Sturgill Simpson, it feels like a massive break-out milestone in his career, having elevated him to a level where […]

There’s a crop of Nashville artists whose commitment to the UK has flown under-the-radar over the last few years, steadily building a stronger fan base with each tour without any major backing. One of those artists is Will Hoge, a big favourite of ours, who has returned year after year, […]
