COUNTRY MUSIC WEEK DAYTIME HUB REVIEW - FAIRGROUND SAINTS

-
On Sunday (28th October), I saw Fairground Saints perform at The Borderline as part of London's Country Music Week which was their debut UK performance and what a wonderful debut set it was for this trio which is made up of Elijah Edwards, Meg McAllister, and Mason Van Valin who are a California-bred band signed to Sony Music Nashville.

The first song from Fairground Saints debut UK debut was a new song from them called Mary which was amazing and had the audience gripped from the moment that they stepped out and I don't think anyone in the audience expected this.

California was one song that I loved from the moment that Megan opened with her wonderful vocals she can definitely hold herself, the moment that Elijah and Mason joined I was blown away there is something about this trio. I liked the fact that you could instantly feel the connection to the lyrics they were singing. The smile on their faces during this performance said a lot about how happy they are to be in London and how memorised they were by the crowd.

Never Gonna Let You Go demonstrated to us all what a talented trio they are by the three different musical instruments - guitar, harmonica and of course their stunning and tight gripped vocals. Never Gonna Let You Go had me gripped when the moment they started singing because of their stunning song-writing ability you can hear that they mean every word they are singing and this for me in so captivating.

Somewhere Down The Line demonstrated this bands wonderful vocals and their fabulous instrumental playing skills which everyone in the audience was loving. I absolutely adored how catchy the chorus for this song was and the fact that I felt myself singing along. This may have been Fairground Saints debut performance in London but the audience were definitely loving them with so many people clapping along and listening to every word they were singing.

Mason's vocal opening How It Rolls and this song proved what an amazing singer he is before Megan and Elijah joined in on the chorus. The audience were completely memorised by their vocal ability and the lyrics this is something us UK Country Music fans absolutely adore. Their harmonies were incredible along with their instrumental skills. And I predict big things for these guys in 2019.

The next song that chose to sing was Turn This Car Around which is was my favourite of their set and my god was it so catchy. I loved that you got connect with this song and it really moved me. The fact that all three of them played their guitar giving off different vibes was just wonderful and it made the song wonderful giving them a chance to demonstrate what amazing guitar skills they have. I loved Megan's vocals and their harmonies gave me so me a few WOW moments. There is something so special about this band.

Fairground Saints ended their 30 minute set with Church that was a song that had the audience dancing along whilst everyone was listening very carefully to every word. Church started with same serious guitar skills from Mason and Elijah before he joined with his vocals shortly followed by Meg and her harmonies with the boys was amazing. The second verse allowed Megan a solo and my god that girls vocals gave me goosebumps. Fairground Saints have showed us some incredible harmonies once again. Church was the perfect song to end their debut performance in London with.

I absolutely adored this stunning trio and I loved that they were so grateful to every single one in the audience.
When I had the opportunity to meet them after their set I was so thankful for them being the way they were and they are the nicest people. PLEASE come back to the UK soon.

-
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 '

-
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
