Ward Thomas - Celebrating 10 years of Cartwheels @ Sage Gateshead

UK chart-topping country pop duo

Ever since twins Lizzy and Catherine Ward Thomas were introduced to the sounds of Carrie Underwood, Alison Krauss and Dixie Chicks, they've had country music beating in their hearts.

The Hampshire sisters began writing their debut album in 2012 when they were 18 years old and still completing their A-levels. Released in 2014, From Where We Stand climbed to No.41 on the UK albums chart and all the way to No.1 on the UK country chart. It was also named UK Album of the Year at the British Country Music Awards.
