Exclusives, Live events, News /

Nashville based singer Sarah Darling will be back in the UK this March for a 12-date tour, following her sold out Christmas concert at the St Pancras Old Church last December. The tour stops off at London’s prestigious Union Chapel on Monday, March 5th which also marks Sarah’s biggest headline show in the UK to date. There are just a few tickets left for this, so be sure to pick yours up soon! If her Christmas concert was anything to go by, there will be a mix of songs from her previous albums and plenty of new ones to get you fired up for her upcoming album due in 2018. When we last chatted to Sarah in December ’16, we recommended all readers give a listen to her album ‘Dream Country’, as it revealed an exciting artist breaking out of the box, and the new record promises to be more of the same. Sarah has been working with Mark Bright, the producer responsible for some of country music’s greatest sounding albums by artists including Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts. When we asked Sarah about this recently, she sounded very enthusiastic about working with Mark: “Dream Country was such an important album for me, since it was so personal and true to my creative style.  Working with Mark has been wonderful and allows me to take my music to the next stage. I’m so excited to share the new music.” The first single from the record will be officially released on March 2nd. Following her opening slots for chart toppers Ward Thomas, touring the UK with her own  “Night in Nashville” shows, and performing at the C2C: Country to Country festival (2016 & 2017), Sarah Darling has gone from strength to strength within the industry. On this 12 show tour, the BCMA Awards ‘International Touring Artist of the Year’ nominee will be performing songs from her three studio albums – including the acclaimed 2017 release ‘Dream Country’ and previewing songs from her forthcoming 2018 album. Looking forward to the tour Sarah says “I am so excited to return to the UK for a release party of sorts!  My newest single is scheduled to release on March 2nd, and I cannot wait to celebrate with my UK fans.”  Sarah previewed some new material from the upcoming album during her sold out Christmas concert at St Pancras’ Church last December. Sure to be performed on this upcoming tour, is a track co-written with Ward Thomas. For one of the brightest new stars in the country music scene, the sky really is the limit. Tickets go on sale Friday 12th January 2018, check out the dates below! 05/03/2018 London Union Chapel 10/03/2018 Brighton Unitarian Church, Brighton 12/03/2018 Norwich The Waterfront 13/03/2018 Gateshead Gateshead 2 14/03/2018 Liverpool Studio 2 15/03/2018 Glasgow Oran Mor 17/03/2018 Cambridge Unitarian Church, Cambridge 18/03/2018 York Basement 19/03/2018 Manchester Night & Day 22/03/2018 Belfast Empire Music Hall 23/03/2018 Dublin Grand Social 27/03/2018 Bristol Lantern www.sarahdarling.com

Charlie Daniels challenges Taco Bell over commercial referencing Illuminati

News /

Country music hero Charlie Daniels has spoken out against Taco Bell via twitter after the fast food company’s latest ads displayed the “Belluminati” (its take on the Illuminati) who are focused on value-priced snack items over world domination. Daniels, who is best known for his 1979 hit “The Devil Went Down To Georgia,”tweeted: ‘Hey Taco Bell The Illuminati is not a frivolous subject.” It’s unclear if the comment was made in jest, however, Daniels has made references to the Illuminati in past social media posts, saying these groups may be pushing a “one world government administered by the elite and their minions.” Its agenda, he claimed last year, was to “increase and reduce the global population by abortion, euthanasia, starvation and withholding medical treatment from whomever they deem too old or otherwise incapable to contribute to their version of a Utopian global society.” “The whole enchilada is a little too much for me to swallow,” he wrote. “But having said that, I do have some very deep suspicions about people who operate behind the scenes and have undue and unmerited influence in the halls of power of the international political scene.”

Country legend Loretta Lynn breaks hip months after stroke

News /

Coal Miner’s Daughter singer, Loretta Lynn, has broken her hip inside her Hurricane Mills, Tennessee mansion just months after suffering from a stroke. The traditional country music singer first had a number one hit back in 1967 with ‘Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)’, with plenty of her 70 recorded songs alluding to blue-collar women’s issues and cheating husbands. Many radio stations refused to play her songs as a result, with nine banned. The biographical hit song Coal Miner’s Daughter became a book and an Oscar–winning movie starring Sissy Spacek and and Tommy Lee Jones.   The incident comes eight months after Loretta suffered a stroke at home, causing her to cancel her tour dates and delay her new album. A statement posted on Monday on her website said Loretta ‘is doing well and thanks all her fans for their thoughts and prayers.’ The 85-year-old country legend’s sister Crystal Gale took to Instagram on Monday asking for fans to ‘send love and prayers’ and adding that the singing sensation was still ‘in good spirits.’ Lynn was last seen in October at the Country Music Hall of Fame for Alan Jackson’s induction. Lynn joined the country music scene in Nashville in the 1960s.
