#TEAMw21 tirelessly work to bring you tomorrow's stars today championing the likes of Elby Faser, Alyssa Flaherty and Macartney Reinhardt and in Lakelin Lemmings we may have unearthed another worthy of your attention. Lakelin, is a 19 year old singer songwriter from Henderson, West Tennessee yet there is already something in her writing that marks her out as one to watch.

Lucy Kitchen is a new name to #TEAMw21 however such was the immediate impact of hearing her latest single "In My Corner" that we immediately wanted to hear more. It is often said that tragedy can be a stimulant to the creative juices and the loss of a partner has found Lucy weaving magic with lyrics inspired  by her final conversation with her late husband.

After a successful tour supporting Kezia Gill and a fine run of shows at C2C 2024, comes Brian Collins with a new single "Free Man" which sees him turn his soulful persona of recent into something of a rousing balladeer.

Country To Country returns in March 2026 for three-days of live music across the United Kingdom, with a revolving line-up of country music’s biggest stars and most-exciting newcomers travelling between London, Glasgow and Belfast between 13th and 15th March. After a record number of ‘early bird’ tickets were sold in March, remaining tickets for Country To Country go on general sale on Friday 26th September at 10am, from https://c2c-countrytocountry.com/

Technically not a single review as not sure if is actually slated to yet become one, but hopefully if Hayley McKay has any doubts about her cover of "In A Big Country" then this may tip her over the edge into releasing it.

Just as the nights are about to get darker and the weather colder it is nice to have something to cling to and what better than news if the return to these shores of Charm Of Finches.

Undoubtedly one of this years most memorable moments was getting to meet Nia Nicholls at The Karma Sanctum. It had been almost 10 years since we had last crossed paths during which #TEAMw21 have chronicled most, if not all of her releases. One of the songs played that night was her forthcoming single, "I'm A Marionnette" which will shortly get its official release.

There's a certain charm about coming to the Karma Sanctum, the prompt early start, and therefore early finish, the comfy seating on sofa's for the early birds and the general relaxed air of a tiny venue in the heart of London. The only drawback is the white screen backing, this is after all the cinema room in a boutique hotel. however it does make getting a decent photograph difficult.
