Megan O\u2019Neill is an award winning singer songwriter from Ireland who the Irish Times called, “The Irish Carrie Underwood”. She\u2019s won awards for her previous music and has had one of her songs featured in the hit TV show ‘Nashville’.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In June this year she released her long awaited album ‘Ghost of You’, and the first single ‘Why I Need You’\u201d hit over 100,000 views online in less than a month. The album itself also hit #1 on the iTunes singer\/songwriter chart.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To relax Megan likes to run and is currently on day 65 of her own 5k challenge involving 5k and 50 press-ups a day. She is planning her new album and is hoping to fund it using the innovative platform PledgeMusic. Megan played the inaugural Long Road Festival Of Country, Americana and Roots Music last weekend and I was lucky enough to chat to one of the hardest working and nicest ladies in Country Music. This is what we chatted about.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
EP: So Megan, the Long Road Festival. Why is it important to have UK Country music festivals?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I think it\u2019s hugely important to give artists the outlet to play actually. Obviously as Country and Americana artists we don\u2019t get booked for those big pop festivals or dance festivals or rock festivals. And even at the likes of the huge festivals like Glastonbury there\u2019s not very many opportunities to get on the right stages but something like this is purely for what we do. It\u2019s unbelievable and to have Long Road and Black Deer pop up this year has been really cool.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: Did you look at playing Cornbury…<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I played it this year on the Friday on the Caf\u00e9 Nero stage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: Of course you did, I didn\u2019t get there early enough to see you. My fault. I was really disappointed to miss you. It would have been great to see you on one of the big stages.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I was actually asked to play but I was travelling to America on the Saturday but next year for sure!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: I\u2019ll look forward to that Megan!<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: Me too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: So – Pledge Music? For people that are unaware of what it does could you explain how important and innovative it is?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: Yes, it\u2019s basically like a fan engagement\/funding platform for artists. This will be my second time using it. The first time was with my EP, ‘Stories To Tell’ which I did with Megan & the Common Threads. And now this will be for my next album which I\u2019m just about to start recording. I think a lot of the public probably don\u2019t understand what goes into a record especially when you get to this certain point.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019ve put out three records and I want to make sure this is top quality, the best record I could possibly put out there and that costs a lot of money and artists don\u2019t always get paid a lot of money so it\u2019s a great way for artists to basically say \u201chey I would love all of my supporters to help me and get involved in the process of my next album\u201d, and in exchange for you pledging a certain amount of money you can get super cool exclusive merchandise or CDs or framed handwritten lyric sheets or an acoustic gig in your house all at different tiers of pricing. Really cool things that otherwise the artists wouldn\u2019t do and that, in exchange, helps the artists fund their record.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: It\u2019s a brilliant concept. Is it a new thing?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I don\u2019t know how old it is. Maybe 5 or 6 years old. But it\u2019s so important, I know so many artists that couldn\u2019t have made a record without doing it. It\u2019s really special, really good.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
EP: So you played a couple of new tracks today, they sound great. How long would a new record take to get out there?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I\u2019m in no rush which is a nice thing because I\u2019ve literally just released an album but you always have to think a year in advance as it takes a long time to record, mix, master, write, all those things, artwork, everything and I\u2019d ideally like to release it September 2019. A year from now. Maybe in conjunction with the Long Road Festival next year, that would be a great idea but I\u2019m thinking a year in advance so I can take my time with it. I always try to challenge myself to write better songs and think about the album in the best possible way.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: Would it be recorded here or maybe Nashville?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I\u2019m doing it in Leeds actually as I\u2019m doing it with the Dunwells who are from Leeds. So we\u2019d do part of it in Leeds and part of it in Ireland.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
EP: I hear you used to live in Nashville, what brought you home?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I did live there. A few things. I love Nashville. Everyone who goes there who has a love for music is going to love it but I was there for the guts of two years and it was incredible for me. The education of a songwriter and artist is second to none but I reached a point where I was very far from home, I missed my family a lot and I didn\u2019t get to come home very often and visas were a struggle for me. I hadn\u2019t really climbed very many rungs of the ladder in my career so getting an artist visa was impossible. So the visa was probably the biggest thing but even though I could pretty easily go back, I really like the UK scene and love working on music here so I\u2019m pretty content.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: Perfect. Megan, I\u2019ve seen all three sets that you\u2019ve played at the Long Road this weekend and they\u2019ve been brilliant but I just wondered why in the full band sets you finished with a cover? The main reason I ask is I\u2019ve walked away from the two sets and listened to people singing Maren Morris after your excellent cover of her \u201cMy Church\u201d at the end and you have equally memorable songs…wouldn\u2019t it be better for them to walk away with your songs stuck in their head?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: We don\u2019t always end with a cover. We thought though with a festival you don\u2019t always get people that know your music and you\u2019d like them to remember your set and they\u2019re more likely to sing along and get involved and sway and dance to the music if it\u2019s a song they know so I think usually when we do our own shows we don\u2019t do any covers but when it\u2019s something with a lot of people that don\u2019t really know you I like to throw them in.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s a good point about ending with it because I hadn\u2019t really thought about that. I didn\u2019t think too carefully about where we were putting them in, just that they were in there. I think it\u2019s just that the set usually builds so it starts with kind of mellow songs and then it grows and by the end of it you want people stomping and maybe the psychology behind it is that they\u2019ll be stomping more to one they know.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
EP: Thanks for satisfying my curiosity as a non-performer. Do you know if there are any more Country festivals likely to pop up?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I played Black Deer in June and I\u2019d assume they\u2019d be another and I hope there\u2019s another Long Road. They\u2019re both such well organised festivals and people seem to be having a great time so I hope they both come back. I don\u2019t know of any others that are popping up at the moment…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: Do you think the loss of Carrie Underwood at such late notice as a headliner here will put people off next year?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: No. No I don\u2019t. I mean I think Carrie Underwood is fantastic but I think all you have to do is look around Long Road and people are loving it and having a great time. I think they\u2019ll come back and they\u2019ll all tell friends and family to come back. They\u2019re loving it!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: There was quite a lot of negative feedback on line about it?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: Haha, that\u2019s just keyboard warriors. Say whatever and won\u2019t say it to your face but I think the festival organisers here and Baylen especially have done an incredible job of getting some of the best artists. I\u2019m friends with so many of them and it\u2019s been like a reunion for all of us. I think they\u2019ve smashed it!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: Who were you looking forward to seeing this weekend?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I was looking forward to seeing Carrie Underwood. I\u2019ve never seen her live. I saw Twinnie last night who\u2019s a friend of mine and I loved sharing the stage today with Laura Oakes and Danielle Bradbery. Brilliant! But there\u2019s just so many of my friends playing so I\u2019m trying to dash around all the stages to see them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: Finally, Megan, what have you got planned in the near future?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: I\u2019m starting this next album so the winter’s going to be quite calm hopefully. I\u2019ve had pretty much constant shows April to now so this is kind of the end of the show season. I do a lot of running and I\u2019ll concentrate on writing the next album and plan some tours for next year. I\u2019ve got Germany, Italy, maybe New Zealand and Australia, America, Ireland and here so it\u2019s going to be a very busy touring year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EP: Sounds fantastic. It\u2019s been lovely speaking with you. Thanks for your time.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megan: You too, thanks Steve.<\/div>\n
