Homecoming Gig For Glasgow’s Ashton Lane

by John A. MacInnes



Ashton Lane


Fresh from their European tour, Ashton Lane will celebrate being back on home turf with a concert in Glasgow next month.


2016 has already seen them perform at the famous Country 2 Country festival in London, as well as receiving nominations in two categories at this year’s BCMAs (British Country Music Awards) for best duo and best song.


The excitement of the live shows and a love of travelling got under my skin very early. It’s so nice to have Dad join us at our gigs now. It really is a family affair and it’s a privilege to perform together, doing what we love… playing great music - Esther O’Connor, Ashton Lane


They also played an impressive set at McEwan’s Party At The Palace in August and their most recent album Nashville Heart received five star reviews.


Ashton Lane is fronted by husband and wife duo, Esther and Tim O’Connor and they are part of a new wave of homegrown modern country music originating in the UK.


Esther’s musical heritage however spans right back to her childhood. She remembers being out on tour at only five years of age with Elton John on his US tour accompanying her Dad’s band Wet Wet Wet.


Graham Duffin often accompanies Ashton Lane as a guest band member and will be playing with Tim and Esther on this Glasgow date.


Don’t miss them live on December 7 at Classic Grand, 18 Jamaica Street, Glasgow from 8 - 11pm. Tickets are on sale now from: https://billetto.co.uk/en/events/ashton-lane-live-at-the-classic-grand
