| R-L, Jimi, Karen, Myself, Kimberly, Phillip |
Grammy Award winning Little Big Town embarked on their first UK tour a few weeks ago and I not only had the pleasure of catching them live but also had the honour of meeting the band who are a class act both on, and off, stage.

| Karen taking the lead on Girl Crush |
The country four piece - comprised of husband and wife, Jimi Westbrook and Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman and Phillip Sweet - opened their ninety minute set with the thumping
Turn The Lights On, coming on stage to a rapturous reception - a reception that they seemed constantly taken aback by. From the opener to the encore,
Boondocks, the audience knew every word, singing along with the quartet whose signature harmonies were tight and stunning in person.

| The end to a great night. |
The highlight of the night came when Jimi, Kimberly and Philip took a step back, allowing Karen to take the spotlight to take the lead with their latest single,
Girl Crush. The trio's harmonies were subtle but understandably overshadowed by their bandmate's stunning vocals on a song that is deservedly climbing the country charts.
An incredible show by an incredible band. Their next visit cannot come soon enough.
