Halton Hart – Grandad Mait

Halton Hart is a very rare and unique musical family of 8 girls, where music plays a massive role in their lives. All the girls have been taught music by Gore based recording artist Kayla Mahon with all starting at the young age of 2, up on the stage, singing on the country music competition circuit. Halton Hart are Caitlyn 17, Marissa 16, and Erica Byars 10, Jaelyn 10 and Meila Scully 12, Taegan 10 and Hazel Evans 7, and Georgia Martin 11. Between them, the girls can play acoustic guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo and Mando Guitar.

To honor their family’s heritage and create a name that bound them together, the girls chose Halton Hart. ‘Halton’ comes from Halton Street, Gore, the home of Grandad Mait and Nana Horrell. Grandad Mait’s love for traditional country music and yodelling set the stage for a family tradition that has continued through Kayla Mahon and now finds new voice in Halton Hart.

A funny tale about Grandad, he was cheeky and always liked to have people on. “Grandad Mait” tells a snippet of his life and he loved to share his stories with his family. This song has the good old country feel that we hope brings you a smile.
