“The Queens of Country Show is a brand new production celebrating the best songs and songstresses of female country music. Featuring an awesome LIVE band plus the three Queens of Country singers this show will take you on a musical journey which will leave you ‘line’ dancing in the aisles!!”

Country music is alive and well in the UK with millions of people regularly listening to and downloading their all-time favourite tunes. ‘The Queens of Country Show’ encapsulates the very finest country classics in a rip-roaring two-hour show.

Beginning with the great legends Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette, how can you not sing along to wonderful songs like CRAZY, COALMINERS DAUGHTER and STAND BY YOUR MAN. The first half also includes BLANKET ON THE GROUND, SWEET NOTHINGS and DONT IT MAKE YOUR BROWN EYES BLUE. Set one closes with a Martina McBride arrangement of ROSE GARDEN, a song made famous by Lynn Anderson.

The second half of the show continues the chronological transition into modern country featuring artists such as The Judds, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift to name but a few. There is a gorgeous acoustic version of ‘BABY NOW THAT I'VE FOUND YOU’ which was a hit for the UK band The Foundations in the 60’s, utilising the more contemporary Alison Krauss arrangement.

There is a medley from the modern queens of country Shania Twain and LeAnn Rimes including ‘Man I Feel like a woman’ and the beautiful ballad ‘how do I live’, and how can we forget the undisputed queen of country?? So the last section is dedicated to Dolly Parton in what we call THE DOLLY MIXTURE.

The Queens of Country Show cast is comprised of the UK’s finest musicians and vocalists who have notched up touring and recording credits with the likes of Sir Cliff Richard, The Supremes, Michael McDonald, Dr Hook, The Foundations, Odyssey, Plan B, Labrynth and Katrina & The Waves to name but a few.

So come and ‘lay your blanket on the ground’, ignore the ‘bad moon rising’ because you ‘can’t fight the moonlight. So put on your ‘coat of many colours’ and leave your ‘9 to 5’ because this is a show you’ll be ‘CRAZY’ to miss!!!!
