Description

A traditional country artist from the perhaps incongruous surroundings of Oxfordshire, Ags Connolly is considered to be one of the best country singer-songwriters to recently emerge from the UK.
Ags? third album, Wrong Again, was released in 2019 and was described by Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 as ?modern day traditionalism of the very, very best kind?. As with his previous two albums, Wrong Again was named Album of the Month by Country Music People magazine while being described by songwriting legend Tom Russell as ?killer?. Meanwhile, US music publications Billboard and Glide Magazine respectively praised the ?deep and emotive vocals? and branded the album ?a must listen? for fans of ?real deal country music?. In 2020, it was named Album Of The Year at the UK Country Music Awards.

A constant presence on the UK, Ireland and European touring and festival circuit, Ags has built a reputation over the years as an uncompromising country traditionalist in the UK and beyond. In an era when the pop and rock incarnations of country music are enjoying a surge of popularity in the UK, Ags continues to defend the last outpost of the genre?s traditional roots. www.agsconnolly.com

Simon has been performing almost non stop since his teenage years! Over the last decade, Simon has been playing his original music with his band The Shadows of Doubt in pubs, music venues, theatres and festivals in London, across the UK and in Northern Spain. Described as a country singer at heart with a streak of the surreal running through him, his live show is engaging, energetic and constantly evolving. At it's best his performances can be gut-wretchingly moving and moments later silly, self deprecating and hilarious. His influences come from far a wide and include Elvis, Bob Dylan and John Prine.
