With Country2Country only last weekend, some of the American artists are hanging around a little longer before they return to the US. This gave us the perfect opportunity to go to Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush to see Yamaha and After Show Party performer Cam. The night began with a slight delay, not only doors opening later then they should have, but as soon as Catherine McGrath was preparing to open, there were some sound issues with the microphones. That aside, Catherine bega
