Megan has had a busy 2019 so far with some highlights including touring with Sir Tom Jones and festival slots at Country-2-Country, The British Country Music Festival and Body & Soul. O’Neill has also recently been selected as the lead female in Universal Music’s new album project and Roadshow titled ‘Now That’s What I Call Country.

Being an unsigned band isn't a situation -- it's a mental illness. Few people realise they're suffering from this affliction. Russell Groom knows, and he wants to change things fast. But Russell doesn't fit the traditional rock-star mould, and his woefully unexceptional band are headed nowhere, inhabiting a world of cramped and sweaty rehearsal rooms, crap day jobs, empty gigs and interminable trips down the A303 to dodgy festival slots in Wiltshire. Enter Josh -- the enigmatic and arrogant son of a successful record producer -- with an offer it's impossible to refuse...Tim Thornton's new novel is a hilarious fly-on-the-wall trip round the outskirts of the music industry, with a valuable lesson: unsigned bands never become signed bands. They have to die first.
