Crissie Rhodes and Ben Earle, aka The Shires, have announced a gig at the Pickaquoy Centre later on this year.

The UK’s biggest new country superstars are coming to Orkney later this summer.

Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes, aka The Shires, have recorded three record-setting Top 10 albums, and were the first UK country act to chart in the Top 10 of the UK Albums Chart with their first album, Brave.

The duo will play on Saturday, September 1, at the Pickaquoy Centre.

Their visit to Orkney will be their most northerly performance in the UK — giving the Highlands and Islands a unique opportunity to see the acclaimed British country duo.

The Shires said: “Orkney will be such a unique place to visit, with its own cultural identity and history; we expect it to be a fantastic experience.”
