Your County Live began in April 2008 as an event at the O2 Indigo with Wilkie fromPoland. In 2009 the event was extended to three sell out nights, again at the Indigo O2, featuring the Parlatones, The Ruby Suns and Ben Lee for the Antipodean community; Malkit Singh and The Dohl Foundation for the South Asian community and Myslovitz and Morandi for the East European community. In 2010 the South Asian night developed into O2’s sponsorship of the nationwide network of Melas.
