Well what a weekend that was! 

So, The Heartland Roots Band attended the ‘UK Country Radio’ 2023 Awards Ceremony at the ‘Radisson Blu Hotel’ at East Midlands Airport on Saturday 28/10/23. In 2022 we received the award of ‘UK Country Group Of The Year’, as we also had done in 2021, so we were not expecting much from 2023, especially against such tough competition. Wrong! We were not only voted ‘UK Country Group Of The Year’ again for 2023 but also our album ‘Something Better’ was voted ‘UK Country Album Of The Year’ too. We couldn’t have wished for any more!

Speechless. Thank you to everyone who nominated me. Gary was a true friend to me and this award is so greatly appreciated and means so much to me on a personal note with the memories I have of Gary. Thank you to Wendy Luke for your amazing support and for putting up with me ❤️I need a drink and a few hankies. THANK YOU for your faith and support ❤️
