Country singer warms his voice for Burnham


A COUNTRY singer is warming his voice ready for a concert next Wednesday (July 4) at Burnham Baptist Church in Burnham.

George Hamilton IV will be performing in Somerset as part of his UK Gospel Country Music Tour.

After his first hit, A Rose and a Baby Ruth, in 1956, he toured with Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers.

Top ten country singles including Before This Day Ends, Three Steps to the Phone (Millions of Miles) and If You Don't Know I Ain't Gonna Tell You paved the way for 1963's Abilene, which topped the country charts for four weeks and reached 15 on the pop charts.

Besides more than ten tours of Great Britain and several BBC productions, Hamilton became the first country artist to perform behind the Iron Curtain - he also toured Africa, the Orient, New Zealand, Australia, and even the Middle East.

George Hamilton will be performing with accomplished musician Alistair Macdonald.
