A statement from Callaghan read as follows:
“Following the consistent official advice that it’s best to avoid gathering in groups Callaghan’s April UK shows have now been cancelled.
With the added uncertainties of international travel Callaghan’s US shows in May and June are also being cancelled.
If you have purchased a ticket please contact your ticket provider for a refund.”
Callaghan has announced Holloway Road will be joining her as special guests when she performs in London on Wednesday 22 April.
Holloway Road - Jack Cooper & Rob Gulston - are one of the most exciting new international duos in country-pop music. With over a million total streams for their independently released music to date, the band has shared stages with the likes of Lauren Alaina and The Shires among others, as well as numerous major festival appearances including C2C The Long Road Festival.
With growing support from fans worldwide and three top 5 EPs to date, success in a growing country scene increasingly looks like an inevitable part of the Holloway Road story.
The duo are back in the studio and working on new music, with their latest single ‘My Love’ out now.
Three time BBC Radio 2 playlisted singer-songwriter Callaghan has announced the dates of her forthcoming Million Mile tour of the UK including a London show at the St Pancras Old Church for Wednesday 22 April 2020.
Tickets go on sale Thursday 14 November 9am.
“I can’t wait to get back on the road in the UK and get this new music out there.” says US based Callaghan “After almost 10 years in the USA I’m planning to spend the first half of 2020 in the UK writing, touring and catching up with friends and family. I’m really excited to be coming home for a while!”
Callaghan’s Spring Tour stretches from Maidstone to Glasgow and includes a show at London’s St Pancras Old Church and a home town show at Lincoln’s Drill Hall. The tour will celebrate the release of her latest project Callaghan’s Acoustic Coffee House 2. Callaghan has christened it The Million Mile Tour - “I realised that sometime in 2020 I will hit half a million miles of touring since I moved to the US in 2010. My car just quit at 440,000 miles, but I’m not nearly done playing my songs yet, so let’s aim to reach a million miles in the next few years”.
Tickets for Callaghan’s UK Spring Tour will go on sale on Friday 15 November. The next day Callaghan will release the four track EP “A Taste of Acoustic Coffee House 2” on streaming services. The EP will feature Raining in My Heart and the Callaghan originals I Was Made for You, Unspoken Words and If You Miss Me. The full 12 track album will release on Friday January 31.
Gaby Roslin has described hearing Callaghan live as “Breathtaking...absolutely incredible”, while the UK’s Maverick Magazine recently called her “a singer-songwriter of a seriously high standard.”

Three time BBC Radio 2 playlisted singer songwriter Callaghan confirms a new UK tour for 2018. Kicking off in Liverpool on 17th April, this is one of her biggest UK tours to date, culminating with a headline spot at London’s prestigious Bush Hall, on 26th April.
“I always love coming home to tour” says US based Callaghan. “It’ll be my first time playing in Liverpool, Brighton and Buckingham, and I’ll be back in York and Glasgow, playing my first headline show at Sage Gateshead, a hometown show in Lincoln and my biggest ever London date. I’ll be joined by some amazing musicians and I’m excited to get on the road and share the new music I’ve been recording this year in LA.”
The tour will coincide with the release of the third EP from a series of recordings Callaghan’s been making in LA over the last 12 months, and will give fans their first chance to hear the new songs live. Callaghan will also be performing tracks from ‘The Other Side,’ her EP released earlier this year, and songs from her forthcoming EP ‘Skin on Skin’, out this December. And of course they’ll also hear songs from her acclaimed album, ‘A History of Now’ including the aforementioned BBC Radio 2 play listed singles.
The new music has all been written or co-written by Callaghan and produced by Anthony Resta (Duran Duran, Shawn Mullins, Elton John), Jeff Fair and Starr Parodi (having worked on scores for huge films like Harry Potter, James Bond and Mission Impossible).
Originally from Lincolnshire Callaghan moved to the USA in 2010 to tour and record with Atlanta based Grammy nominee Shawn Mullins. In 2015, after five years of building her audience across the USA, she returned to the UK with her second album A History of Now, going on to enjoy a hugely successful couple of years which has seen her profile build substantially in the UK. Callaghan has since returned to the UK for multiple trips.
Highlights include two appearances at the massive C2C festival and festival appearances at Cornbury, Celtic Connections, SummerTyne Festival, The Secret Garden Party and Cambridge Folk Festival. She’s also played live sessions for BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris and Good Morning Sunday and BBC London’s Gaby Roslin and Robert Elms as well as at local BBC stations across the UK.
For every show except Buckingham Callaghan will be joined by New England Singer-Songwriter Jesse Terry. Terry is a prolific, acclaimed, independent artist who left a writing gig at a Nashville publishing house to release his own albums and tour the world. Terry’s profile has grown considerably over the years, performing at Bonnaroo, AmericanaFest, Philadelphia Folk Festival, The Great Escape and many other notable festivals. His most recent album “Stargazer” has garnered airplay on BBC Radio 2, BBC Scotland, BBC Newcastle as well as rave reviews in the UK press.
