Country in the Afternoon to return in May for third edition, with Blake O'Connor and John Gurney headlining

Country in the Afternoon will be returning to the Half Moon in Putney for a third time between May 16-17, with Blake O’Connor and John Gurney headlining. Tickets are on sale for the Saturday here and the Sunday here.
The first Country in the Afternoon premiered in 2019 and was a huge hit, to the point that the two-day daytime event has been allowed to continue and to provide fantastic entertainment in the process.
This time around, there are four international artists and four UK artists, but all four of the continental acts will be making their London debuts at the event.
The four acts in question are O’Connor, who won the Toyota Star Maker award in Australia last year, multi-million selling artist Jeremy McComb, Ruthie Collins and Gurney. O’Connor and McComb will perform on the Saturday, while Collins and Gurney will be performing on the Sunday.
As for the UK acts, three-time Grammy winner Sandy McLelland will be performing, as will upcoming dup Gasoline & Matches, Scottish singer/songwriter Chris Mossop and 17-year-old prodigy Megan Louise, who impressed many with her performances at Millport Country Music Festival 2019.
Tickets are priced at £17.50 per day and the event takes place between 12:30 and 5pm.
