This year they played at the Norwegian Harley Davidson SuperRally with Dave Edmunds and at the Countryfestivalen in Seljord with Bobby Bare, Chely Wright and Brennen Leigh.The Americana UK Website said of the band: Buchanan dont miss a beat. No matter the band are actually from Manchester they play this kind of music well and with an irreverent kind of respect and an unashamed passion, and perhaps their enthusiasm is all the more evident for them having been born on this side of the pond.Legendary broadcaster David Allan: 'The Picture is packed to the rafters with original songs and wonderfully effervescent performances. This is country music that sits easily beside the likes of Waylon and Willie, and is a perfect showcase for the Best of British.Buchanan's album 'The Picture' has just been voted Album of the Year in the UK Country radio Awards!!
