| Richard Palmer Learning that first country song set the ball rolling and from then on, Richard was a big fan of country music, buying cassettes and CD's of artists such as Merle Haggard, Garth Brooks, Chris LeDoux and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He had soon learnt quite a selection of songs and, at the age of 13, decided to learn a new instrument - the Harmonica. In the summer of 2001, Richard wrote his first country song, Whole Life In A Shoebox, about a tramp who carries all his photos and memories in an old shoebox and tells his story to passers by as he makes his way down the never-ending dusty roads. Eventually meeting with a woman, he discovers she is leading much the same life as himself and they set off together and spend many years walking down the 'dusty roads' together, carrying their shoeboxes and telling their tales to people that they meet. In July 2002, Richard took his first booking as a country music artist, at 'The Covered Wagon CMC' at North Scarle. He has continued to accept more bookings and is constantly updating his repertoire of songs |

Her favourite songs she likes to perform are power ballads, to show her vocal talent, but knows that she can't sing those kind of songs all night long!
As well as being a huge fan of traditional Country music, Katie also loves more modern styles and her repertoire of songs includes some very up-to-date material, e.g., Kelly Pickler, Lee Ann Womack, Julie Roberts, etc.
She is now starting to spread her wings and is playing much farther afield, including Scotland and some gigs in Belfast later this year.
Katie hasn't decided which way she wants to go with her Country music as the music is so varied, so she is learning all types of songs. She knows there's so much to learn and she's learning all the time. Some day she would like to write her own songs. In the meantime, she's going to carry on trying to please all of the people all of the time. As for the future? She just wants to see where the music takes her!

This comes through in their shows with material ranging from old-style Merle Haggard numbers right through to modern material by artists such as Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson. After several years away from the Country scene pursuing other projects, the lure of the gun smoke proved too much and in late-2004 the band members got together and set to work on building a new top class Country act as a showcase to their talents, a tribute to the music they all love, and a burning desire to Keep it Country The result was the birth of Settlers Creek, a red-hot band featuring blistering guitar work, stunning 3-part vocal harmonies and a versatile rhythm section to keep the dancers on their feet all night long.

The band's first cassette, "Restless", was released in October 1992. Appearances at both the Americana and Strumpshaw Festivals and successful mini tours of the west country and Yorkshire followed, as well as appearances at a number of the holiday camp festivals. The summer of 1994 culminated with The Natives' inclusion in the "Way Out West" Records release "The Best of New British Country - Declaration of Independence".
he Natives have since released an album entitled "Return of the Natives" which is available via their website or www.mjmusicshop.co.uk. |
