We had a brilliant time at the UK Country Music Awards Ceremony, playing a six‑song set as the penultimate band before District 43 closed the night.

With several of the regular James Street Band members away, I ended up putting together a bit of a makeshift lineup — and they were absolutely superb. Huge thanks to Chris Jones, Chris Whittam, Karl Parry, Pippa Murdie, and Tony Williams for stepping in and playing so wonderfully.

Our short set included:

Cruel Wind

Looking For That American Dream

Same Thing Every Night

Too Many Roads

Tell Me Joe

Silhouettes

The whole show was filmed, and we should get to see our performance in full once the footage is released. For now, we appear in the highlights reel if you’d like a flavour of the evening.

Many thanks to Allan Watkiss for having us on the show.
