COUNTRY MUSIC WEEK - MELBELLE STYLE
CountryLine TV and radio presenter Adrena Austin headed to London last week to interview the country stars participating in Country 2 Country’s ‘Country Music Week‘. Over 13 participating country bands and artists put on a series of concerts across the UK from the 17th-22nd October in a celebration of country music, where our friend Adrena Austin had the enviable role of interviewing the likes of Matt Stell, Elvie Shane, Caitlyn Smith and the women behind the Song Suffragettes.
