Women bring the wine and song to Bilston

Suzy Bogguss, Gretchen Peters and Matraca Berg are all stars on the American country music scene with songwriting credits for big names including Reba McEntire, Patty Loveless and Bryan Adams.

The trio in the UK with their Wine, Women and Song show, where they sing and tell stories with the accompaniment of a bottle of good cabernet.

Maverick magazine described the show as "pure magic... by no means a slick, glitzy, polished performance; just three superb singer-songwriters sitting together informally and having a great time".

Nashville Scene’s Michael McCall said: "Together they shatter nearly every Nashville stereotype. They’re three smart, progressive, well-balanced women-anti-divas, who spin real-life tales steeped in modern love and ripe with wit, depth and spiritual profundity.”

Wine, Women and Song will be at the Robin 2, Bilston on Thursday June 16.
