Ward Thomas are an English modern country-pop duo, composed of 24-year-old twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas (born 28 March 1994) from Hampshire.[1] The band has been called “Britain’s first country stars”. Along with The Shires, they are producing modern country music with a British twist in a genre dominated by American singers and bands.[2] Fellow country singer, Crissie Rhodes of The Shires, describes their music as written “from a British perspective”. While people have been able to appreciate the American sound, they can connect with the themes of British lyrics.”[3] Cartwheels, their second studio album became the first album by a UK country act to reach number One on the UK Albums Chart surpassing the previous record by The Shires. It has since gone silver in the UK.
