RECORD BREAKERS, chart toppers and country crossover stars Ward Thomas are returning to Gateshead for an exclusive Christmas show this December.
Twenty-two-year old twins Catherine and Lizzy made history with their stunning major label debut when it reached the top spot in the U.K. Album charts, by becoming the first ever UK country act to achieve the feat.
On top of that extraordinary achievement, the album stayed in the top five for three weeks: a rare accomplishment.
Written in Nashville in 2014, Cartwheels, was the song that kick started the entire writing process for the album. Reflecting on experiences of young women (and men!) everywhere, it tells the sad tale of someone who refuses to accept that a relationship is over. The heartbreaking story is brought to life by the sister’s stripped back vocals and beguiling harmonies.
- Ward Thomas plus Wildwood Kin, Sage One Gateshead, Thursday 7 December, 7.30pm. Tickets at http://sagegateshead.com/event/ward-thomas46874/
