Record breaking country music duo Ward Thomas announced earlier this month that fellow British country act Wildwood Kin would be supporting them during their Cartwheels tour which kicks off this Friday with a sold-out gig at the G-Live in Guildford. But despite Wildwood Kin opening for the twins at a number of their concerts they will not be the supporting act for the May shows in Exeter, Aberdeen, Gateshead or Cambridge.
