The Shires, the UK's biggest country music export, will help celebrate our 40th birthday with an intimate acoustic concert as part of their 2024 tour.
We’ve invited the UK’s biggest country music export, The Shires, to help us celebrate our 40th birthday as part of their 2024 tour – The Two of Us. The Shires achievements speak for themselves: three consecutive UK Top 3 albums, four #1 UK Country albums, 100 million+ streams, two Gold-certified records, and countless sold-out headline shows, including filling the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.
The Shires first broke through in 2014 with their single Nashville Grey Skies, a playful song about Britain needing its own country scene. And that’s something which they’ve helped happen, starting with their 2015 debut album Brave, which became the first ever Top 10 album by a UK country music artist. That success continued with a string of hit albums: 2016’s My Universe, 2018’s Accidentally On Purpose, 2020’s Good Years and 2022’s 10 Year Plan.
We were thrilled to present The Shires in 2018 and can’t wait to bring them back to Canterbury for an intimate acoustic concert, showcasing the duo doing what they do best. Sponsored by Partner and Principal sponsor Paul Roberts Canterbury.
