1.Man In The Mirror (Ward Thomas)

Ward Thomas are an English modern country – pop duo, composed of twin sister Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas from Hampshire. The band has been called “Britain’s first country stars”.

It is one of those song that is so playable by this lesser-known band Ward Thomas and I predict they have a really good future.
