“We are thrilled to be bringing the CMA Songwriters Series back to C2C this year,” says Milly Olykan, CMA Vice President, International Relations and Development. “Thanks to the continued warm reception from fans across the U.K., presenting our Songwriters event at C2C is always special, however, this year we are especially grateful to be a small part of Country Music’s re-entry into the U.K. In a time of isolation and uncertainty, Country songs were a source of comfort for many, so it seems fitting to have these incredible songwriters kick of the 2022 C2C. We can’t wait for March!”
