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.

HOLLYOAKS REVIEW - FRANKIE OPENED UP AS ISABELLE SMITH DELIVERS SOME EMOTIONAL SCENES

Since Isabelle Smith  arrived on our screens back in January, Hollyoaks viewers have seen a hard-hitting storyline for her character, Frankie Osborne who since  February has had tough relationships with Osborne family especially Nancy and Jack, and looking back now you can see the cries for help with her moods, attitude, and vulnerability that have changed across the past 6 months. Frankie's used dance as her escape seeing her audition for dance school. With Darren having been the one wanting to protect Frankie with everything that has arose. One of my favourite moments was Frankie learning sign language so she could communicate with Oscar allowing people to see the caring side to the character. The first appearance of Frankie Osborne came in Wednesday's episode (4th September) where her dance place got deferred leaving her devastated as Darren continued to support Frankie seeing her become emotional about her return to school it was clear how much Darren has Frankie's best

With Hollyoaks entering the first week of their brand-new 3 episodes a week next week in typical Hollyoaks style a stunt is involved. Who doesn't love a Hollyoaks stunt? Next week will see Grandfather and Granddaughter, Jack and Frankie Osborne run into Suzanne Ashworth and JJ Osborne outside The Dog patio. With the support of Sally St Claire and Jack, Frankie confront Suzanne about her not believing her as she goes into detail about what she experienced.  This can't be an easy conversation to have, but thankful she has people she trusts around her.  Jack later adds the pressure and challenges Suzanne about what she knew.  I have a feeling that these scenes could lead to some emotional moments. Photo Credit: Lime Pictures/ Hollyoaks Inside The McQueen house are Marie Fielding, Jack, Suzanne and Frankie. Later, Leela Lomax breaks the news of the accident in The Dog to The Osbornes and Tony Hutchinson as Darren Osbornes races to his daughter, Frankie and father, Jack. Question re
