Take Me Home County Road

Shelly’s a County Road girl, born and bred, through and through. Once upon a time, she had it all – the looks, the talent, the fire in her belly. But now she’s forty-something, and life’s all gone a bit… naff. Work is fine, her mates are sound, and her hubby Mick is always there when she needs him, but something’s missing.

She knows deep down, she was born to be singer. Back in the day – before she was Mick’s missus – she had a song and a dream.

This isn't how her story ends... there’s still a song in her – and it’s dying to be heard. Anthony next doorstep thinks Shelly's got what it takes to make it… so he’s entered her into 'The Next Big Thing' (like Pop Idol, but less fake tears and glitter).

Could Shelly really swap the streetlamps of County Road for the spotlights of stardom? Or is she destined to save her singing talents for a once-in-a-blue moon karaoke night down at The Black Horse?

She just might be the best Country & Western singer the North West’s ever seen – better than Dolly Garston, better than Garth TueBrooks, and definitely better than Manc Williams. Come and join Shelley on her journey from Wavertree to Tennessee (or thereabouts) in Adam McCoy’s brand-new comedy. We’ll have you laughing and singing until the cowboys come home!
