Wander-ful to win gong

BRITISH folk band The Wandering Hearts have landed a major award.

The London group won the Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award at The UK Americana Awards 2018.

It celebrates the breakthrough act that particularly impressed the legendary music broadcaster during the year.

The Wandering Hearts, whose debut album Burning Bridges is released this week, said: “We are overwhelmed to be acknowledged at this stage of our career. And to be recognised by the legend that is Bob Harris makes it even more incredible.”
