Thoroughly enjoyable evening....
Went to see 'The Shires - The Two of Us' last weekend at St Nicholas Chapel in Kings Lynn. The first time we've been to see them and the first time we've experienced this type of concert in a church (albeit a large one) and it certainly added to the experience. The supporting act, a couple recently married and whose name I can't remember (apologies), perhaps overdid the talking and could have sung one or two more songs but I think are still relative newcomers and can be forgiven for that. Crissie and Ben themselves gave an excellent performance with some better known and more personal songs which I'm sure everyone who went enjoyed thoroughly. If I have one small niggle it would be that it was sometimes difficult to pick up what both acts were saying between songs, which may have been down to the loudness of the system or simply I need to get my ears tested!! Overall a very enjoyable evening and we wouldn't hesitate to go and see the Shires again.

Enjoyable event
I was not familiar with their music, but enjoyed the melodies and harmonies. The venue was atmospheric but a little impractical. The screens did little to assist visibility for example. I also thought Outpost Drive were a great support band with a lot of potential.

Great acoustic performance by The Shires
A really enjoyable evening of live music at the Wedgewood Rooms. The Shires were superb. Great connection to the audience who were encouraged to sing along at various stages. The support act were good but the 90 minute wait between doors opening and the Shires coming on was interminable & irritating. Mostly forgotten as soon as the duo started singing.

The Shires - Two of Us -Acoustic Tour, Grand Theatre, Swansea - 7th September 2024
Country duo The Shires is comprised of singer/songwriters Crissie Rhodes (lead vocals) and Ben Earle (harmony vocals, piano, guitar). They formed the group in 2013 and released their debut album Brave two years later and became the first UK-based country act to break into the Top 10. Sophomore record My Universe dropped in 2016 and was the fastest-selling UK country album. The first two releases would both be certified gold and preceded the silver-selling LP Accidentally on Purpose (2018) plus further titles Good Years (2020) and 10 Year Plan (2022).
