When the ‘Come Find Us’ Tour was shut down due to social distancing rules and my family had to self-isolate due to Lily having a bad cold there was only one thing to do - go on tour. But this time, of my own home - using the WORST picture of me I could find!
We were all still in a bit of shock about the situation, and this tour happened as the lockdown was introduced! Every night over 100 people tuned in to see me perform with Mary (my fiance) and Katy (Marys sister) pretty much mucking about. It was a very special set of shows, not at all polished, an absolutely absurd - but right for the time and we like to think it made a few people happy. Katy did an incrdible job with the set design, Mary opened some drinks and kept an eye on the social media posts while James Wills built an entire website. We had support acts each night - Tom Vamos (twice), Dan O Farrell, a bagpiper and Davey Anscombe! The whole thing was just silly and fun. It also in Marys words ‘Killed an Evening’.
Each night we had incredible friends, family, strangers and fans tune in and send us over a two thousand comments. We got some pics as well…
We were lucky to get some media attention. The press were all over us! We appeared on the Daily Echo website and Yahoo News!
I was interviewed for BBC Radio Solent! Hear below!
and then we were featured on the news on BBC South Today!
After the tour we planned to do a follow-up tour, but we decided that we had a great enjoyable time doing the first social distancing shows and that was it! Less is more. But you never know! Never say never! Watch all the shows on our YouTube channel!
Oh we also did a trailer for the last show of the tour which always makes me laugh….
