I'm normally one to ignore the youtube adverts but this one I did click and now I'm addicted to this song what do you guys think?

I listened to this song earlier for the first time.

I like it.

Love her voice compliments his very well on that Friday Night song!

Quite shocked to find these are British too!

There is another song being played on Radio 2 with the words "country music" in the chorus, sounds a little like these but I don't think it is. Anyone know who they are?

The Shires will take off with those singles I think

Friday Night is another brilliant single from The Shires. I'm so excited for the album at the end of February... I'm also slightly tempted by their tour, but I might have to convince the boyfriend as he is not a fan of country

I think I know the song you're on about. Something along the lines of "there'll be country nights and country {something]".

Next time I hear it, I'll try and catch the name of the artist.

I'd say play him a couple of the songs, and see what he thinks. Its not the country music of old, its a very modern sound - in fact I'd say that unless some listeners are told its classed as country, they probably wouldn't realise.

Seems I actually got it wrong the song I was looking for was indeed a Shires song "Nashville Grey Skies" (country boys , country girls was the hook I etched in my mind!).

I'm REALLY excited by them now, their music is very uplifting like a lot of modern country.

Hard to see what their end game is though? To be big in Nashiville, UK or both?

Radio 2 seem to be playing this a heck of a lot (which is great!) but I've noticed that its a 'radio version' with "get a little drunk" replaced with "have a little fun" - which sound better IMO.

Congratulations The Shires on a top 10 album!

Although Ward Thomas are better

First UK country act to get near a top 10 album. Although I guess there hasn't been many, and their sound is very american.

I'd guess there are a quite a few country acts similar to them around the UK.

We had a local band in MK called Auralia Sky that were quite similar in style of music. Sadly they split a few months ago but I think there are still a few videos around YouTube.

They arent the best example of the genre, but not to take away from their fantastic achievement.

They're playing very locally to me next month and I've just bought tickets for my birthday giving the album a listen to on Spotify at the moment and I quite like them.
