Scotty McCreery

Scotty McCreery to return to the UK in May with full band, including headline date at Shepherd's Bush Empire

Scotty McCreery will be returning to the UK with his full band just a few months after his hugely successful October debut for Country Music Week. Tickets will be available at 10:00 on February 14 here, while an O2 and C2C pre-sale will commence on February 12 at 10:00. McCreery was initially announced for one date at Bush Hall, London and one date in Manchester, but as the London date sold out so quickly, another had to be announced to accommodate demand. You can read our review of the triumphant debut Bush Hall show here. This time around, he will be playing just around the corner from Bush Hall in Shepherd’s Bush Empire and there are more dates to be announced in other UK cities, which will be shared in due course. Speaking about his return to the UK, McCreery said that he had an absolute blast last time around and was patiently waiting to get his chance to return, while he also spoke highly about the chance to play north of the wall. “I had such a great time last October and have been looking for an opportunity to come back and bring the whole band,” McCreery said. “I’ve talked to everyone about how welcoming the audiences were and how they knew the words to every song. “I’m really looking forward to performing in Scotland on this trip as well as a few more new cities to be announced soon.” Scotty McCreery will be playing: May 18 – O2 Ritz, Manchester, England May 19 – O2 Academy Bristol, Bristol, England May 24 – Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow, Scotland May 25 – O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, England

Frankie Davies

Frankie Davies releases first new music in 18 months with 'Asking For a Friend' and also shares video for it

Frankie Davies has released her first single since her 2018 album ‘Wherever I Go’ with the announcement of new track Asking For a Friend. You can watch the video below. [wpdevart_youtube]x9G-OlypX4Y[/wpdevart_youtube] The song will be well known to fans of the artist as it has been in regular rotation in her live sets, but this is the first time a studio version of the track has been recorded. ‘Wherever I Go’ was Davies’ debut album and was received warmly by the country music community. Speaking about the single, Davies explained that it is about social media and that it came to her when she didn’t fully realise that she was in a dark place, which is when the song started to become a lot more personal. “Asking For A Friend is a song about the complexities of social media and the tech focussed world we live in today,” Davies said. “When I first came up with the idea I intended to create a light-hearted song, a tongue-in-cheek critique of how people use #AskingForAFriend as a humorous way to engage with people online. “It was only as I was writing the song that it became very personal, it was mid-winter and I was feeling lonely, anxious and suffering from seasonal depression and that changed the direction of the song. “We use social media to interact in humour or debate, to support each other through good and bad times, to stay in touch with family and friends but even if you are completely connected through social media, it can still feel like you’re in the dark. Many of us do feel alone at times and need a friend or a little human interaction to feel less so, in that respect it became a song with two meanings.” In addition to releasing new music, Davies is also going on a small tour this year and there is a strong possibility that more dates will be added. Tickets are available here. Frankie Davies will be playing: April 10 – The Acorn, Penzance, England April 13 – The Castle Hotel, Manchester, England April 14 – The Grace, London, England
