A FUN country music event is making its way to Colchester next month.

Country Comes to Colchester will be hosting a night of non-stop modern country music at Colchester Rugby Club, in Cuckoo Farm Way.

Songs by all the genre's biggest artists, such as Cody Johnson, Luke Combs, Margo Price and Carly Pearce, will be played on April 6 from 8pm until 11pm.

Leigh Scott, a friend of the organiser, said: "Every event is just brilliant fun as everyone is really friendly and very welcoming to newcomers and we always have the regulars that come to every event.

"Country music's popularity has really taken off in recent months with country star Luke Combs doing a cover of Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.

"This has also happened because of stars like Beyoncé trying their hand at releasing a country album.

"I also think it's because of DAB radio etcetera that it's more accessible these days whereas back then you had to seek it out more."

Tickets cost £5 in advance at £8 on the door.
