INTERVIEW WITH KIRSTIE KRAUS ABOUT HER LATEST SINGLE, C2C AND HER UK TOUR

-
This week's interview is with Kirstie Kraus who is currently on her first UK tour and I recently caught up with her to discuss her experiences for being in the UK as well as her latest single.

Kirstie, it's wonderful to speak with you after 12 months, how are you today?
I am doing so fabulous today! Thank you so much.

Are you enjoying being back in the UK?
So far it's been wonderful! I have been here for 2.5 weeks and I have 2.5 more weeks to go!

You performed at C2C last month with Thomas Kavanagh with your duet, Who Am I Gonna Love did you enjoy the experience?
Last year was fabulous and this year I got to come back and join him again all three days at the Observatory for C2C! Also this year at C2C I got to team up with CountryLine and continue my work with them as a host in England as well!

Did you have time to enjoy any of the other artists performing at the festival?
I certainly did! I got to catch Hannah Dasher, Jeff Cohen, Gasoline & Matches and Teigen Gayse!


Congratulations on your debut UK headline tour, how are you finding the UK crowds?
The crowds have been incredible! They have been loving hearing the new music and supporting by purchasing merch! I am so grateful to be over her!

Have you enjoyed exploring different parts during the tour?
Yes! Of course, I'm halfway through and so far I have seen London, Tunbridge Wells, Exeter, Brighton, and Wakefield! I love trying the food and seeing all the culture in these amazing historic buildings!

You have a new single, Dab A Dolly is out now featuring Christie Huff, how are you feeling about people hearing the song?
I am sooo stinkin' excited to be able to share this song with everyone. We have worked so hard on this song and I truly feel like it is going to excited people and make them feel good!

Please can you tell us a little about the single?
This song is female empowering anthem ic duet that celebrates and honors our queen of country Dolly Parton!

I have to ask how did the duet with Christie came about?
Christie and I met through the brand Women of Country in Nashville and being fellow female musicians in the industry. We then wrote together a few times and eventually went on tour together to my home state to do a few shows. When we were on tour we wrote this song together!

Before I let you go, I have to ask what are your hopes for 2024?
2024 is gonna be a grand year! I have more music I am working on currently and more festival shows coming up this year!

Thank you very much for your time, it was a pleasure.
I appreciate you so much as well! Thank you so much for helping us celebrate all this new music and my new single Dab a Dolly!

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
