LIVE REVIEW: MAX MCNOWN - LILY FITTS - O2 ACADEMY - LONDON
One of the shining stars of this year's C2C was undoubtedly Max McNown, and finishing the year with 2 sold out London dates at the O2 Academy, will almost certainly see him leap to the Main Stage in 2027. Before Max though, was a lady who #TEAMw21 hope may yet well grace the stages at C2C 2026 - Lily Fitts from Boston Massachusetts. Taking to the stage in her black boots, dressed all in black and with only guitar for company, this was probably not the ideal way to enjoy Lily


LIVE REVIEW: SONG SUFFRAGETTES - VIC ALLEN, NEEVE ZAHRA, MAYA LANE & CHANEL YATES - LIL NASHVILLE - CHISWICK
A first visit to Lil Nashville for #TEAMw21 to see Song Suffragettes relocated to a new venue, and a chance to see two of the artists pencilled in Country Calling 2026, along with one who played in 2025 and one sure to be in the running once her second EP lands. The venue itself is awash with neon and guitars and messages that light up, there's a board with Nashville related photographs and ephemera such as a plane ticket, while a glitter ball spins over the head of the spect


SINGLE REVIEW: JENN BOSTIC & BRIAN SUTHERLAND - ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU
There is probably nothing that signals the oncoming festive season more than Mariah Carey's wonderfully over the top "All I Want For Christmas Is You". If though after a long days Christmas shopping you perchance could bear to hear it again, however would prefer a more relaxed version then Jenn Bostic and Brian Sutherland have just the thing for you with a version so laid back, it is almost horizontal.


NEWS: DANNI NICHOLLS 2026 TOUR & KICKSTARTER UPDATE
Danni Nicholls is returning to the UK next year for a tour, hopefully promoting her new album "Making Moves" The tour picture shows Danni in a most contemplative mood and she may well be contemplating if her Kickstarter campaign is going to reach its target. Closing on Saturday 20th December, it is tantalisingly within reach of success while at the same time perilously close to failure, as only projects that meet their target go on to fruition. Bearing in mind Danni's track r


SINGLE REVIEW: ELIZABETH NICHOLS - OH THE THINGS MEN DO
Fast rising, Kentucky born, Nashville based Elizabeth Nicholls seems set to become a firm favourite with UK fans with her light hearted sassy new single "Oh The Things Men Do". With an appearance at C2C 2026 coming, little over a year since her first single, she's also squeezed in an Opry appearance so is quite the hot ticket.


LIVE REVIEW: LUCY MAY, SHEA RAFFERTY, JEFF COHEN - WHIRLWIND 10 YEARS ON - THE SLAUGHTERED LAMB
It was actually 24th November 2014, that #TEAMw21 first came into the orbit of Miss Lucy May, as part of a 5 act show at 229 The Venue, along with Balsamo & Deighton, Red Sky July, Raintown and a full band finale from Frankie Davies. One of our abiding memories of the night was of the lady whose immaculately sprayed hairdo seemed to tower in the air and who had the most incredibly neat handwriting as she scribbled on our copy of the EP that would go on to become some of the


LIVE REVIEW: MY DARLING CLEMENTINE - MARTIN BELMONT - WEST HAMPSTEAD ARTS CLUB
The West Hampstead Arts Club is located down a tricky staircase, with an extra last minute step just as you as you enter the performing space.Tonight was a rescheduled show, the earlier one postponed due to flooding and early on there was a definite muskiness in the air, a somewhat cellar like atmosphere. In fairness once the heaters on stage kicked in and people arrived, the tropical atmosphere created did help things for the audience even if it made it a little warm for to


SINGLE REVIEW: STEPHANIE RYANN - WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME (DOUBLE SINGLE REVIEW)
If we're totally honest the #TEAMw21 mail box has been hit with Christmas singles since about October and none of them have been worthy of mention. Rather than saying "Bah humbug" to the Festive season - we've dug into the back catalogue of Stephanie Ryann, who has been peppering us with great singles for the last eighteen months and seems on the verge of something special for something suitably seasonal.
