- **Event Name**: Simon Stanley Ward and band
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Black Cat Music presents a night of top notch UK Americana &amp; country music featuring Simon Stanley Ward and his band plus Paul Nowak at Thornton Hough Village Club, Wirral.  

Simon Stanley Ward is one of the UK’s rising stars of alt-country.  He sounds like the original lonesome cowboy crooner – a perfect cross between Neil Young and Charlie Rich, with a voice to match. It’s hard-rocking country, the kind that spawned Elvis and Johnny Cash, and with a superbly tight band that includes Danny &amp; The Champions of the World guitarist Paul Lush in its ranks. 

Simon has been performing almost non stop since his teenage years, playing his original music with his band The Shadows of Doubt in venues across the UK and Europe.  Described as a country singer at heart with a streak of the surreal running through him, his live show is engaging, energetic and constantly evolving. At its best his performances can be gut-wretchingly moving and moments later silly, self deprecating and hilarious (he has also done stand up comedy after all).  His musical influences include Elvis, Bob Dylan and John Prine.

"Proper country music delivered with style. The album opener "Monster Song" is quite simply one of the best country songs that this reviewer has heard in many a year. Superb album. ” Americana UK
