Moggzy and Lucy are back for Episode 22. Moggzy recaps Cody Johnson at Manchester AO Arena on press passes - Alyssa and Parker McCollum opened, Parker kept calling the crowd "Man City," and the arena belted out "Til You Can't." Lucy reports from Country Club in The Hague (via Amsterdam, storm delays and all), with Sadie's Ella Langley tribute packing a serious reaction plus a Cohen Vale acoustic set. Songs of the week: Chloe Jones "Last Flight," Cammy Barnes "You & Me," Cody Johnson "'Til You Can't," and Max McNown & Carly Pearce "Not Falling Out."

Then Danielle and Charlie from Carmen Bar & Eatery, Atherton, join for the full origin story - the name, Gary Quinn building it into a listening room, free Sunday acoustics, the murals, Smoke On Deez BBQ with John Roche, and the move toward Carmen Country and Cocktails. There's a Halloween Would You Rather round, then What's On for Wed 28 Oct-Tue 3 Nov, including Halloween honky-tonk nights and Cody Johnson in Birmingham and Glasgow.

Moggzy and Lucy kick off Episode 21 with big news: Saddleborn, the western and country clothing brand from Leigh, is on board. Use the code MOGGZY for 20% off site-wide at saddleborn.co.uk, and keep an eye out for their pop-up shop opening in Leigh on Sat 14 Nov. Then it's straight into the news. Zach Bryan has dropped a surprise EP, announced a 2027 stadium tour with no UK dates, hit No. 1 on Apple Music with Lana Del Rey on "Lies" and somehow made peace with Nashville. The CMA's Dolly tribute streams live on Disney+ at 2am Thursday, our time. Plus Dolly's Welsh "Jolene", and Cody Johnson hitting Manchester and The O2.

Songs of the week are DENYM's "Without Sound", Stella Lain's "The Boys Who Broke My Heart", July Moon's "I Hate Country Music" (it's not what you think) and Noah Brigden's "Gone" (#divorceddadfolk, apparently). Then there's a load of Would You Rathers, from a Welsh duet with Dolly to a life of "Cotton Eye Joe", plus a quick-fire round. We finish with a guide to UK country gigs on this week.

Lucy returns from a bout of illness just in time for Moggzy to recap his weekend at the Honky Tonk Highway event in Liverpool, where he experienced a highly energetic, hip-hop-esque style of Catalonian line dancing taught by an instructor Pol from the Barcelona region. The hosts break down the intense choreography, including a routine designed to mimic Captain Jack Sparrow, before diving into their weekly music picks. For the UK, they highlight Mikala Fredriksson's upcoming upbeat track "39," which playfully tackles aging without the usual doom and gloom, while the US picks feature Chase Matthew's grounded "Start from the Holler" and Tigerlily Gold's "Girls Are Gonna".

​The episode fully embraces its self-described dynamic of "complete random nonsense" during a chaotic Q&A segment. The hosts passionately agree that British country fans need to permanently retire the word "howdy," debate whether they would rather forget their toothbrush or deodorant at a weekend festival, and confess that they actively skip the "Cotton Eye Joe" line dance despite peer pressure. After revealing some decidedly non-country guilty pleasure tracks like Chris Brown's "Forever" and Iyaz's "Replay," the duo wraps up with a comprehensive UK gig guide featuring events at Little Nashville in Bristol, Ruby Rays in York, and the newly opened Jolene's.
