Event information

KATY HURT (HOST) - A trailblazing Country/Americana artist now based in Little Neston. A prolific songwriter and powerhouse vocalist, Katy has released a string of critically acclaimed singles and EPs, with her debut album “Gimme A Break” finally arriving on May 23rd. Having taken part in songwriter rounds across the country throughout the years, she’s made lifelong friends and musical connections and dreamed of bringing some of that magic up north. As a songwriter, she’s had several album cuts for other artists and her track "Face to Face” recently featured in the film Slingshot (starring Casey Affleck & Laurence Fishburne). Her singles "Sounds Good In A Bar" and "Wish I Could Give You Up" both hit No. 1 on the UK iTunes chart and received international airplay on CBC, Sirius XM, and Amazon Music.

KATIE RIGBY is a singer-songwriter from Manchester. Drawing inspiration from artists like Kacey Musgraves, Hailey Whitters and Maren Morris, Rigby explores the internal conflict of being a British native with a country soul. Nominated for two BCMA (British Country Music Association) awards – UK Best Female and UK Song – Rigby has garnered significant traction this year and now stands up amongst household names in the UK country scene. Her 2024 release, past life cowgirl, saw Rigby firmly establish her authentic sound. It sits as an ode to her deep connection with country music and has amassed over 100,000 global streams since its release.

GARY QUINN was born in Omagh, Northern Ireland, and now Manchester-based, Gary has become one of the most respected voices in UK country music. Inspired by icons like Garth Brooks, Chris Young, and Cody Johnson, he has developed a sound that blends classic storytelling with modern country melodies, earning him multiple British Country Music Association (BCMA) Awards, including Male Vocalist of the Year and UK Songwriter of the Year. With several UK Country Chart No.1 singles and editorial playlist features on Spotify and Apple Music, Gary’s music continues to resonate with fans on both sides of the Atlantic. His live reputation has seen him play every major UK festival, including C2C: Country to Country, The Long Road, Buckle & Boots, and Black Deer. Internationally, 2025 saw him headline across Germany and Holland, appear at Nashville Nights Denmark, debut in the Faroe Islands, and perform for the first time in Lithuania at Visagino Country Festival. Career highlights include multiple appearances at Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Café and sharing the stage with stars such as Chris Young, Clint Black, and William Michael Morgan. His latest single, “Country Strait” – a duet with Morgan – previews his upcoming Nashville-recorded album, due late 2025.

JEORGIA ROSE is a 22 year old British singer-songwriter blending heartfelt country storytelling with modern pop. Splitting her time between the UK and Nashville, she has performed at iconic venues like the Bluebird Cafe and The Listening Room with Song Suffragettes, as well as major festivals including C2C and The Long Road. With her debut album Blooming and the recently released deluxe edition, Blooming (Where She’s Planted), Jeorgia continues to share honest, relatable songs that highlight her growing presence in the pop country scene.
