@countryonthelagan was such a great festival. A project that will hopefully grow and grow. Alongside C2C in Belfast.

We want to thank @garyquinnmusic for getting us involved in the festival. It was such a pleasure to be part of it all. We go way back with Gary and being involved with this event was a major full circle moment. As it was our last gig as "The Rising" so it felt like closing a chapter and beginning a new one

We have been quietly sorting stuff in the background. So lots of stuff is coming up over the next few weeks.

Meanwhile our next gig is in The Black Box with Royal South on 1st April.

🔴🔴 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🔴🔴 Over the last

🔴🔴 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🔴🔴

Over the last few months we have been doing quite a lot of thinking about our future.

Recently, we released an EP called "Live In The Limelight". This EP was originally slated to be our LAST RELEASE. Our gig in Birmingham's Nashville Sounds In The Round was supposed to be our LAST GIG EVER and we had planned to announce this at the show.

With two nightmare years which ended in getting taken for ride by a bogus Sync company we knew that something had to change.

We had also grown increasingly frustrated with the UK Country scene over the years. We got too comfortable being the Outsiders - everyone's favourite underdog that we started to believe we weren't worth the time or effort.

So our original plan was to deliver the album and disappear into the night and go about our lives outside of music.

But something happened at Nashville Sounds In The Round in Birmingham. The way the audience engaged with us completely changed our minds and we looked at each other mid-show and said "maybe we should re-think our plans. So the reason we had tagged Nashville Sounds In The Round in this post is because that gig literally changed our lives and we couldn't be more grateful to Gasoline & Matches for bringing us over and to the audience that day.

So we have decided the best course of action is a NAME CHANGE. Something that will give us a fresh start and springboard into the future. So if you start to notice our socials change - don't be alarmed.

From this point onwards - We Are... The Night Hearts 🖤🖤

We are super excited to announce that we will be s

We are super excited to announce that we will be supporting Nashville based Duo @thisisroyalsouth in @theblackboxbelfast , Belfast on 1st April.

We also have a special pre-sale tickets were you can get cheaper tickets than anywhere else. The tickets are £10 (plus booking fee) and they are normally £20. Thats half price. We only have 10 tickets available at this price and once they are gone they are gone. Grab them via the link in our Bio

We cannot wait for this gig. We previously supported Royal South in the American Bar and we cannot wait to do it all over again in the amazing Black Box.

Who's going... who is gonna grab the cheaper tickets??
