English Country double bill heading north
Two modern Country duo's from south of the border, The Shires and Ward Thomas are heading out around the UK & Ireland, including a gig at King Tuts in Glasgow on November 23rd.
Both bands have come a long way since playing the pop-up stages of C2C in March this year, each having an A-listed track on BBC Radio 2.
The seeds for this tour were sown when the two bands ran into each other in a road house in Nashville while both paying pilgrimage to their spiritual home. The chance to take their shared message out on the road together seemed too good to miss and the ‘Home-Grown Tour’ was born.
