American Young are once again coming back to the UK for a 3 date UK Tour and here I will be speaking to them about what we can expect from their tour and what they thought of C2C back in March. Good Morning, American Young. Hope you are well.  I have to say I am very excited about you coming back to the UK. How are you feeling about coming back to the UK? We are so grateful to have the opportunity to be invited back. The UK is starting to feel like home. We have so many friends all over the UK and it's great to see them a couple times a year. Are you excited about visiting a few new places that the UK has to offer? Absolutely! It's one of our favourite things to do is explore new places, and we get to do that for a living! We love meeting new people, seeing new things, and finding the best food in every town we visit. Are you ready to see your UK fans? Because we are definitely ready for you and very excited, I must add! Thank you! We are so excited to see are...

When it was announced that Hannah Barton was coming back but as a man called 'Matty' played by Ash Palmisciano, I was a little surprised because Hannah was one of my favourite Bartons' but I am excited to see how/ where this storyline goes. Ash on Matty's arrival via Digital Spy: "I'm very excited to be joining the very welcoming Emmerdale family. From nervous auditions to now working alongside the team daily has been truly amazing. Matty's a ground-breaking character to play and I can't wait to see what's ahead for him." Tonight, we saw Ash's first appearance as Matty which I absolutely loved especially as when he first entered he was sneaky around Butler's Farm even with Faith walking in and finding photo on the floor she wasn't concerned. But as Matty is searching through everything looking for his birth certificate just as Cain arrives - Cain then questions Matty's which left Matty scared before Cain pushes him leading...

Today (Friday 2nd June) will see British singer-songwriter,  Danny McMahon  release his brand new EP, Momentarily. Danny very kindly gave me the opportunity to review it for him and what an EP it is. 'This EP shows how incredibly passionate Danny is with his music.' - BringCountry2UK Couldn't Write A Love Song is a slower sounding song to start. Moments in, Danny vocals start very moving. Couldn't Write A Love Song is a very moving and meaningful song. The first chorus is about the start of the relationship and I love the choice of lyrics very thought about. The chorus is very beautiful and honest - you can tell it's about his love life (so gorgeous!) songs like this are very rare. The second verse is about all those moments you have made in your time together, I love the instrumentals after the third verse makes the song incredible. The higher vocals in the final chorus are just incredibly wonderful and gets the song to another level. Danny's voca...

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 ...

This week's interview is with US sibling trio, Southern Halo recently enjoyed a rather successful CMA Fest in Nashville last week and here I am talking to the girls - Natalia, Hannah and Christina Morris about their time and experiences of the festival. Hello girls. Thank you for agreeing to answer a few questions with us about your time at CMA Fest.  How would you say your performances were? And were you thrilled with the reaction you received from the fans there? All of our performances at this year’s CMA Fest went very well! It felt so great playing in Nashville again. The fan interaction was the coolest experience ever! I have to ask what songs went down well with the fans? All, I can say I have no reason for them not to enjoy you girls. The fans really seemed to love our new single, “Anything Is Possible,” one of our new originals titled “Southern Halo,” and two covers that we do: “Sweet Child O Mine” and “In The Air Tonight.” ...

Welcome back to my blog and to one I’ve wanted to publish for a few days but having had a busy weekend I forgot. Having read so many comments over the weekend online about how women are supposed to look, be a certain size and how people need to show a little more flesh (yes I am referring to the Soap Awards) but to be honest is this really necessary?! Because as long as you are confident in what you wear (no matter how bold or different it is!) surely that’s the most important thing? Or am I wrong? I thought all the women looked absolutely stunning and looked super confident and happy in their outfits. Whether you liked or hated (which I saw people tweeting about but were the hate comments necessary?! I don't believe so! Because the hate comments are the ones that stick with whoever you talk too (just think would you like to receive the comment that you are sending? If the answer is no then don’t send it. Simple!) Everyone has the right to wear whatever clothes they...

Welcome to a very different style blog with tonight's being my opinion on tonight's Charity Dingle's Flash Back Episode . Tonight's episode is written by one of my favourite writers in Maxine Alderton. So I am expecting the most wonderful episode to which I can admit, I was. So thank you, Maxine. When I first watched the spoiler Emmerdale released on Friday evening ahead of next week's I was feeling emotional because we are seeing this very different and more emotional side of Charity Dingle. The vulnerable of Charity is something I am not used to seeing when it comes to Charity but how fabulous is Emma Atkins with the emotional scenes! Before the episode, I was feeling very nervous. Opening the rather special flashback episode was Charity standing outside the pub of The Woolpack with Noah and Moses. What a beautiful family scene. I liked that Vanessa was keeping her eye on Charity from the window but I did adore the words Vanessa said to Charity. Charity ...

The party, which also honored his co-writers Frank Rogers and Monty Criswell was hosted by both BMI and ASCAP, and held at the Country Music Association. “Can this year get any better?” Asked an ecstatic Scotty.  “A couple of months ago, Five More Minutes becomes my first No. 1 hit, then Seasons Change debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart.

Danielle Bradbery  builds upon an emotional story with her current single, Worth It with an artful music video premiered on People.com. The video for the empowering anthem is also now available on Vevo as well as Spotify's Wild Country playlist. The compelling video directed by Shaun Silva, and filmed at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville opened with Danielle navigating an empty theater speaking to the journey of the song and the impact of its powerful lyrics, "'Cause I'm worth it/ You're crazy, baby, if you think that I don't know it/ I ain't afraid to walk away/ If you can't see it, believe it/ And give me the love I'm deserving/ 'Cause I know I'm worth it." It culminates as she envisions herself performing on the empty stage in a moment inspired by a similarly iconic scene in the popular film The Greatest Showman. “This song was one of my favorite tracks on the album from the start, but it’s really taken on a life of it...

Last Saturday (5th May),  Scotty McCreery  was the surprise entertainer at the iHeart Country Festival in Austin, Texas where he received a standing ovation from the entire audience at the Frank Erwin Center. Scotty's acoustic performance of his recent first-ever No. 1 hit, the Gold certified, Five More Minutes became one of the most talked about moments of the night. Today, the Triple Tigers recording artist introduces his fans to his new single, This Is It. The heart-warming tune, written as a love song for his fiancée Gabi Dugal, impacted radio and is already making waves with 38 Mediabase adds. “I’ve shared so much of my life on my new album, Seasons Change, and so many of the songs were inspired by the love of my life, Gabi,” said an excited Scotty. “It feels like the perfect time to release ‘This Is It’ as my next single while she and I prepare for our wedding that will happen in just a few weeks. This is our story. I hope everyone will celebrate wi...

I've wanted to do this post for so long but never thought I would publish but tonight I am FINALLY getting around to it. I've watched Emmerdale since 2000 when one evening caught my Grandma had it on when I was around hers and ever since I have enjoyed watching it every night. The amount of favourite characters I have had over the years has been fabulous but my TOP 9 haven't changed since last year - which surprises me a lot. Kelly Windsor was played by Adele Silva. Kelly Windsor for me was one of the first characters I ever loved watching and there was something about Adele Silva for me that was so inspiring. With Kelly returning on and off, a few times her stint between 2005 - 2007 was when she was making Dawn Ward and Zoe Tate's lives hell to protect her brother, Scott. during this stint, Kelly also seduced Jimmy King which leads nicely to my favourite stint back when Kelly returned in November 2010 this return for me was wonderful because we saw...

I am very excited to be bringing you this interview with one of my favourite trio's Southern Halo who are made up of three sisters - Natalia, Hannah and Christina Morris. Southern Halo brought out their debut album out last Friday (27.4.18) called Just Like In The Movies. You can read my review here . Hey girls. Thank you for agreeing this interview with me again.  I can't believe I am interviewing you on your debut album, I am super proud of you! How excited are you for everyone to hear Just Like In The Movies? Natalia: I am so excited for everyone to hear it! We have worked so hard on this new project of ours, and have been waiting to share it with everyone since the day the songs were written!  Christina: So ecstatic! There is so much negativity in the world right now, so we hope to spread some positivity with this new album of ours.  Hannah: I cannot wait for everyone to hear it! Could you please tell us a little bit a...

Next Monday (30th April) will see  April Kry release her new single, Perfectly Imperfect which I was kindly given the opportunity to review. Perfectly Imperfect is perfectly perfect! Perfectly Imperfect starts with a darker sounding tune with just a guitar to accompany which is rather special. April vocals are rather dark sounding to start but it's stunning because it allows April to get across the message in which she wants too! The chorus is rather special along with it being super catchy which April is brutally honest throughout and I adore this about April's song-writing. Perfectly Imperfect is a song in which I believe that everyone could/ can relate to when it comes to accepting ourselves for who we are and where we have come from/ where we are going! Perfectly Imperfect lets people know that what they are feeling is human and that's its OK to feel like this! April's softer and joyful vo...

Tomorrow (Friday 27th April) will see US singer-songwriting Trio, Southern Halo release their debut album, Just Like In The Movies and I was very kindly recently sent Just Like In The Movies to review. Just Like In The Movies features 14 songs. You can read my interview with the girls here . Southern Halo is such a stunningly beautiful song from the girls with a beautiful bass backing. Southern Halo allows their harmonies to shine throughout. The perfect song to open their debut album up with. Natalia's solo vocals are beautiful alongside Hannah and Christina duo vocals are wonderful. I love how Christina, Hannah and Natalia's vocals complement each other so well - there is something rather special about these girls. The lyrics within the chorus are so fun and based on growing up. I love the Natalia's guitar playing, Hannah's bass playing and Christina's drumming was magical and bought the song to life. My Girls & Me opens up with funky bass playing...
