Hampshire born and bred, Ward Thomas were barely out of their teens when they became country crossover stars with their independently released 2014 debut album From Where We Stand which sold over 25,000 copies, playing 2 UK tours, London’s 02 Arena and Hyde Park in the process. Produced largely by Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall, Jason Mraz, Shawn Mendes) with three tracks by Jimmy Hogarth (Amy Winehouse, Paolo Nutini, Sia), “Cartwheels” features 14 self-penned songs that capture a range of emotions veering from the joyous to the heartbroken and everywhere in between. Miss it at your peril! “Cartwheels” became the first #1 album for a British Country act when it topped the UK Album Chart in early September this year.
