Chart Success

As of Sunday Feb 28, 2016, it reached its highest peak at #502 (#6 UK iTunes Country). As of March 3, 2016, it was nowhere to seen on the UK iTunes Country Top 200 album placings and can’t recall a re-appearance. 

 It did receive critical acclaim on UK country radio stations and shows with a 5 STAR review from Chris Smith in Country Music People magazine.
"The UK Country Music scene has been raising the bar over the last couple of years, now that bar has been raised even higher with Thorne Hill's Debut Album. Play this on a road trip and you'll get there faster." 5 STARS Excellent! - Lee Williams, CEO CMR Nashville (President of the British Country Music Awards (BCMAwards).

The single drew widespread support on UK country radio stations and specialized shows and was playlisted by Chris Country Radio.
It debuted at #11 on the iTunes UK Country Singles (#734 overall UK Singles chart), then fell to #16 (#988 all genres) by Sun 25 June it had slumped to #138 fell off the top 200 and very briefly re-entered at #179.
Thorne was by all accounts very popular as part of the 2017 line-ups at Little Mountain Country Music Festival and most notably at the Buckle & Boots Festival (hosting the cream of UK Country talent alongside chart topping US Country stars). - "Thorne Hill has so much energy, the crowd love him!"

2017 Inductees into the BCMA Hall of Fame (http://britishcma.co.uk/hall-of-fame/)
Previously announced (5 May 2017)
Congratulations to
Gordon Davies DJ Promoter and CEO of Westwood Records
Susan McCann Singer (“Ireland’s First Lady of Irish & Country Music” | BIO)
Ron Jones Singer and Promoter
Ron Jones British Country Music Hall of Fame inductee 2017. Founder of the Silver Dollar Aberaman listening only Country Music Club. Member of the Westerners, Country Music Group of yesteryear.






























Gordon Davies DJ Promoter and CEO of Westwood Records: Westwood Recordings British label, active from the early 70s till middle of the 80s





























Some of the British artists to record with Westwood Records were:
  • In 1974, the late Keith Manifold he became the first UK country artist to benefit from appearances on television’s Opportunity Knocks, eventually finishing second to the series’ overall winner Lena Zavaroni. He made his first recordings for the Westwood label in 1974. In 1975, he performed the winning song, ‘Who’s Gonna Bring Me Laughter.
  • Campbell's Country (Campbell Baxter and Tim Richards) are one of the UK's top country music duo's
  • Like so many people in Britain, Jeannie Denver was quite oblivious to country music, and though she might feature a country song in her act, it was just another song to be sung. It was not until 1973 that she turned seriously to country music, and since then she has never looked back.
  • Jeff Cliffson was born in a little village called Chirk, Wrexham, in North Wales. He joined a skiffle group, but it was while serving with the army that he first heard the music of Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Webb Pierce and Marty Robbins etc., the singers who had influence on my musical style. Together with wife his Joan they ran the Cliffson`s Country Music Club in Wrexham for twenty three years, until November 2005
