A British country special, with a live session from Laura Oakes.
A British country special, with a live session from Laura Oakes.
When it's normal for mealtime conversations to be conducted in three-part harmony, it was only natural for Laura Oakes to go through life singing. Her love for Dolly Parton, David Gates and the Dixie Chicks may seem an unusual music taste for a teenager from Liverpool but in her teenage years Laura really started to embrace her influences performing anywhere and everywhere.
A visit to Grand Ole Opry in Nashville at the age of 18 proved to be an overwhelming and life-defining experience, driving her to realise her dream of writing and singing country music.
Surrounding tonight's special live session, Bob will be picking music from his favourite British country acts, including My Darling Clementine, Dexeter, The Shires, Ward Thomas, the Wandering Hearts and many more.
