So the sun is out gracing our glorious British Isles and hopefully is here to stay for the foreseeable future! Our mantra here at Think Country is “BRINGING COUNTRY CLOSER” and that is exactly what we want to do! We want to help you get your fix of the music we all love and keep you informed of who we are excited about the events taking place on these shores, where you can see them and how you can get your hands on tickets.
We have a dedicated team of staff writers in the United Kingdom that hope to bring you plenty of coverage of the upcoming tours and festivals but our coverage is heavily centred around London due to where our correspondents live but there is so much going on in the whole country meaning there is potentially a lot of things on your doorstep wherever you may live! So here is our new feature THINK COUNTRY, SEE COUNTRY where we don’t just want to be bringing country closer, we want to help you be able to experience it yourselves so we present our guide to what is coming your way so you can join in the fun with us and be there in person! (Ticket and information can be found by following the link on each event)
