Music | Ward Thomas announce new single and album release date

Ward Thomas are 20-year old twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas from Hampshire. Whilst in sixth form, a rough demo of the Ward Thomas track ‘Footnotes’ found its way into the hands of Nashville’s most respected session musicians, leading to the recording of a debut album “From Where We Stand” (out 21 July 2014).

Lead single ‘Push For The Stride’, (follow up to their Radio 2 playlisted Footnotes EP).  In the spring of 2014, Ward Thomas released their ‘Footnotes EP’ with lead single ‘The Good And The Right’ making it onto the BBC Radio 2 Playlist.

Terry Wogan interviewed the twins on his popular Radio 2 show and they were also featured in a special Radio 2 documentary on country music broadcast in March. That same month they appeared at the Country2Country Festival at London’s O2 Arena where they were interviewed by BBC London News. More recently they have been featured in the Sunday Times Culture and have been confirmed to appear at the Maverick Festival in early July.
