Ali Cook – Like the track “Midnight Sun” the video is great too. If it was played from Hotdisc will you be playing New York Country girl Ali Isabella from HD159 who appeared at the Wembley Festival?
Band Perry – Big Machine Records did not send Taylor Swifts records to UK country radio yet label Republic Nashville who have connections with them seem to have furnished every UK country DJ! Nearly all the programmes are playing their album this week and plugging it like crazy. Did you see them on BBC Breakfast? I don’t like Kimberley’s voice enough to listen to a whole album through. I might download a few of the hit singles. They have a hip, modern pop look , write their songs and play the instruments so perfectly fit the 2012 country industry model.
Made In Britain – Good to hear The Haley Sisters.
