Vince Gill was up next. The legendarysinger performed a range of songs fromthe start of his career to the material hehas recorded in the more recent years.Then it was finally time to see the maneverybody had been waiting for. TimMcGraw.By this time the Arena was packed, Timhad everyone on their feet covering songsold and new, we couldn’t have asked fora better finale for the first night. This wasamazing and certainly for us both, themost Country of country events we everhave gone to in the United Kingdom.Sunday was another day with otherterrific acts from the USA. We weredelighted to catch the newest inducteeto the Grand Ole Opry, Darius Ruckerwho was excellent as well as LeannRimes who stunned her audiencewith her acapella version of AmazingGrace. The arena became so silentyou could have heard a pin drop, itwas truly amazing, a moment in timeno one there would ever forget andin our opinion the performance of theweekend.We were able to also see BrantleyGilbert, who has a rocky edge to hismusic, and just to finish what had beenthe most amazing weekend for countrymusic the fabulous Carrie Underwoodwho was simply incredible. This isone artist everyone who loves Countryshould see live once in their lives. Shehas an amazing international futureahead of her, and reminded us both ofa young Dolly Parton.Carrie’s performance was very specialfor Steve when she performed one ofher biggest hits “Before He Cheats”which Steve co-choreographed thedance “Before They Cheat” to, alongwith Glynn Holt.This was a spectacular weekend andwe would highly recommend any countrymusic lover to go and experience whatthey have to offer.Next year’s Country 2 Country festivalwill be the 15-16 March 2014.
