​​
Hey Christina, thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview with me.​ Firstly, I would like you to introduce yourselves to our readers?​
What's up BringCountry2UK readers! My name is Christina Taylor and I am a singer/songwriter out of Nashville, TN.​​
​​
Just a few questions for our readers to get to know you, how old were you were you decided to start writing your own songs? And when did you write and perform your first song?​​
I started writing my own songs when I was about 15 years old. I recorded my first song when I was 16 years old and started performing it pretty much right away!​​
​​
Where did you first perform any of yours songs and how old were you?​​
I started singing at open mic nights when I was 15 years old. Sometimes I would sing my own songs and sometimes I would sing covers of my favorite artists songs!​​
​​
What is your favourite country song and who is your favourite country artist (can be more than one)?​​
It would be impossible to pick my favorite country song, I have too many! But my favorite country artist hands down is Eric Church. His music is so real and raw, and I try everyday to be that way in my own music.
​What is the most inspirational song you have heard?​​
“Bless The Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts and “If You’re Going Through Hell” by Rodney Atkins are two of my favorite inspirational country songs.

Now to talk about your music in 2018 and plans for 2019;​​
You started 2018 off by releasing American Dreamin' which was incredible I have to tell you.

You then went on to perform at CMA Festival where takes place in Nashville in June - what was that like? It would be my dream to come to America for this festival.
It was absolutely amazing to perform at the CMA Festival! I got to perform on the Radio Disney Country stage. The fans that showed up were incredibly supportive and encouraging!

Then September saw you release your latest single Loser, what was that like? How did the song come about?
Loser is about a real life experience of mine. When you lose certain people or things in your life, sometimes if can be for a reason. I felt like a loser at first, but then realized I had lost those people in order to be a better version of myself. I had to lose to win! It was so rewarding getting to see the response to the song, and seeing that people were relating.
I have to admit I love this song.

Now to talk about your plans for 2019 - so Christina, please tell us more music is coming our way?
Yes, absolutely!  I have been working really hard to write and record some of my best music to date for you guys.  I don’t have a release date yet but make sure to check out my instagram: @christinataylormusic and my website: www.christinataylormusic.com to get updates on when I will be coming out with my new music!
Congrats on the EP news, I am so excited about it!

What would be you say your main aim for 2019 is?
My main aim for 2019 is to get out and play way more live shows.  There's nothing better then getting to personally interact with y’all at my shows, and I plan to do a whole lot more of it in 2019!

And I can end this interview without asking you this not being from the UK, I have to ask could we expect to see you over here one day?​​
Absolutely! I don’t have anything in the UK on the books yet, but I can’t wait to travel out there and play my music for y’alls amazing country music fanbase! Hopefully I will be there sooner rather than later.
Thank you so much for your time, Christina.

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
