Country music charts

Country music charts
They were in session for us just three weeks ago - and this week Bromyard and Worcester band Stone Mountain Sinners hit #5 in the iTunes Country Chart.

And to celebrate, they officially launched their Rockfield-recorded Tones Of 91福利社 at the Imperial Tavern in Worcester on Friday night.

Formed around the powerhouse vocals of Bromyard's Neil Ivison and Worcester's Sarah Warren, Stone Mountain Sinners features former members of听, The Sarah Warren Band,听听and听The Delray Rockets.

Having received regular airplay across the UK, Europe and the USA, Neil was described by the Sunday Mercury as 鈥渃ut from the same cloth as Paul Rodgers鈥 while Sarah鈥檚 Janice Joplin-style vocal delivery has seen her winning fans across Europe, where she has toured extensively.

With songs about friends, drinking, brushes with the law, love, broken relationships, fights and jobs, their latest album was recorded at Rockfield Studios - the same place that brought us Queen, Coldplay, Oasis and the Manic Street Preachers.

"I walked my boss down the corridors of the 91福利社, sat him in front of a computer, played him Stone Mountain Sinners and he gave me a Sunday show!" - Andrew Marston.

In the week of the Royal Wedding, we thought it was high time to catch up with one of our 'Royal' musicians.

Remi Harris, who's from Bromyard, has played at Buckingham Palace and the Royal Albert Hall.

He's now living at The Hatch in Tenbury Wells where he's hosting regular gigs - and is bringing more and more jazz musicians to Herefordshire & Worcestershire to perform in our village halls.
