CMA FESTIVAL INTERVIEW WITH TEMECULA ROAD

-
This week's interview is with California-bred, Tennessee-based country music trio, Temecula Road who recently enjoyed a rather successful CMA Fest in Nashville and here we talk to Dawson Anderson, and sisters Maddie and Emma Salute about their time and experiences of the festival.

Hello Dawson, Maddie and Emma. Thank you for agreeing to answer a few questions with me about your time at CMA Festival.
How would you say your performances went? And what was the atmosphere like? When my friend said who watched you on Thursday evening it was fabulous, would that be correct?
Emma: Our performances were super fun. We do a mix of originals & covers. My favorite cover that we do is Party In The USA by Miley. The crowd goes crazy.
Maddie: The performances were really good! We had so much fun. It was a full band show so I think the fans enjoyed the dynamic. It was so hot out but it was awesome to see how many fans showed up in the heat.
Dawson: The performances at CMA Fest were great! The Atmospheres were very lively because the fans there are all really into watching the live performances. They were absolutely as fabulous as your friend said they were!

You performed on quite a number of stages over you time at the festival, were you thrilled with the reaction you received from the fans there?
Emma: CMA Fest is the best time to interact with fans from all over the world. We met some of our fans that we met when we were in London! It’s our favorite time of the year.
Maddie: The fans were incredible! So many people come from all over the county and even different countries.
Dawson: We were definitely happy with the crowd reactions. They were really energetic and it made it super easy to feed off of them while we were on stage.

I have to ask what songs went down well with the fans?
Emma: Definitely Party In The USA and our original song called Drive Slow.
Maddie: I’d say Party In The USA went over really well, the fans seemed to enjoy the classic haha.
Dawson: The songs that went best with the fans would be our original song ‘Drive Slow’ and the cover we do of ‘Party In The USA’ by Miley Cyrus.

And please tell me you tried out some new songs? I know you played Everything I love (think that’s what it’s called) and my god I adore this song!
Emma: Thank you so much! Yes that is a new song. We love performing that one. It’s definitely different than our other stuff but we love it for that reason.
Maddie: We did do some new songs! Everything I Love is a great one and we also tried out some other new ones.
Dawson: We are constantly updating our set to keep it fresh so we were definitely able to try out some new ones like ‘Everything I Love’.

 Did you enjoy meeting your fans at the signings you did?
Emma: Yes we did. We have 3 signings and all 3 of them were amazing. We met new fans and reconnected with older fans.
Maddie: Meeting fans at our signings was super cool because we got to hear their stories and where they came from.
Dawson: The fan meet and greets are my favorite part of CMA Fest! Everyone is so nice and we are able to hear stories about how our fans have followed our journey! CMA Fest is all about the fans so being able to meet them and give back is an incredible feeling. 

And before you leave, just a little question if you had any chance to see any of the other artists performing, who did you enjoy?
Emma: I loved seeing Dustin Lynch and Devin Dawson. Those are my two favs!
Maddie: We saw so many amazing artists at CMA Fest! Of course my fav was Carrie Underwood haha! But I loved Thomas Rhett and FGL also! Everyone was amazing.
Dawson: I was able to see a ton of other amazing artists perform! Some of my favorite performances were from Thomas Rhett, Dustin Lynch, Keith Urban, and Jason Aldean!
Thank you so much for your time, Dawson, Maddie and Emma.

SINGLE REVIEW - ELERI - KARAOKE

-
This Friday (11th August)  will see  Swansea based artist singer-songwriter, Eleri  release her latest single, Karaoke. Karaoke was co written with Vanessa Murray and Katie Buckland, and produced by Tim Prottey/Jones of First Time Flyers. Karaoke  has an upbeat instrumental setting the tone beautifully. The first verses sees Eleri's soft vocal at the forefront with lyrics that get you thinking of those moments at a gig that you don't think you'll ever get to see takes me back to experiencing Priscilla Block with Eleri last year, oh the memories. The second verse sees the song take another turn of when you feel like things aren't working out but you are determined to learn from the lesson it's given you. The chorus features many catchy upbeat lyrics that I could myself singing along with despite not knowing the lyrics 100% typical Kellie. There is so much passion within the lyrics and the more you hear the lyrics the more appreciation I gain. Love the summer of '

COMING UP ON EMMERDALE: AMELIA CHRISTENS ESTHER AS CHARITY AND AMY BRING THE DRAMA

-
With Amelia Spencer about to christen her daughter, Esther it wouldn't be a soap without drama during the ceremony would it? It’s the day of Amelia Spencer’s daughter, Esther’s christening who is touched by her boyfriend, Noah Dingle’s support who has been there for her during her pregnancy and now adjusting to her journey into motherhood. It’s lovely to see how much he genuinely cares and wants the best for them both. Following Lydia Dingles help in organising the christening, she is disappointed when Samson Dingle refuses to accompany her to his daughter’s christening. Chloe Harris and Amy Wyatt are confrontational around cousins Chas and Charity. However, when Amy and Chloe arrive at Esther’s christening following Chas’ invite, Charity is less than impressed. Things escalated as Charles Anderson’s begins the christening as Charity’s feud with Amy threatens to put the service in jeopardy - part of me is like yay for the drama, but the other is like why are you doing this ,Charit

EMMERDALE REVIEW - DAN SHOWED HIS VULNERABILITY

Over the past few weeks, Emmerdale viewers have seen a different side of Dan Spencer following his daughter, Amelia's social media ordeal which has allowed for a different side of the character's development to be shown. It's obvious to me and many other viewers that all Dan Spencer has ever wanted to do was protect Amelia, but the way he said some harsh things to her in Tuesday's episode (11th July) saw the vulnerability in both characters. It was during Wednesday's episode (12th July) where Dan said "you have every right to be online" was a moment I caught myself a little emotional over as it reminded me of my own experience once again - it's clear how much Dan cares about his daughter and just wants what's best for her like parents do. The way that parents want their children to hear the truth, sometimes isn't the best way to do but on the other side sometimes it just needs to be said. There was many times during this week that I felt for Am
