Melbourne first night....

Melbourne

The seated gigs. No pressure no queues. Most strange!

Having nothing to do in the city we decided to do something that we will remember for life. Anyone for a tattoo?

After researching the options we picked our parlour. They were really helpful and sweet. Ollie was our artist in residence, originally from Auckland but moved to Melbourne for the work. The design has been on the table for a good few months. With a couple of personal adaptations.

A Mumford fridge magnet! 😂😂😂 but a high end designed one.

Two hours later and we had done it!

Today it’s looking good..... full results in two weeks. Something to remember the Delta tour NZ & Oz by!

I’m thinking this is a tour all about how many chemists we can visit. I think it’s been at least one per city. I can’t believe you can purchase a packet of 100 paracetamols off the shelf! This would be unheard of in the uk.

Back to the reason we are all here. Sidney Myer Music Bowl. An outdoor partially covered venue. Located in the heart of the city.

Undercover at the front a seated area for around 2000 and behind the seats on the hill is the lawn area around 10,000 people I guess?

It’s another sunny day. And we join the queue into the bowl. A strange feeling not being there for doors! The knowledge that there is no pressure is great! Water bottle topped up, loo stop in the bag and we find our seats.

Melbourne is Gretta Ray’s home town. She had a different full band from Sydney Enmore. She came on the stage dancing like a new woman from the first time we saw her in Brisbane. FYI tonight sporting a 5th new off the shoulder number and velvet flared trousers. She was a new freer woman, mostly no guitar around her neck and able to bop and dance and throw some moves for her entire set. Really enjoyable and she clearly loved it.

Michael Kiwunaka and band.... another new outfit and different set list.

Showtime!

Strong setlist similar to Sydney Enmore. Opening with Delta! No confetti, I suspect due to park rules.

Holland Road and Babel now seems to have firm slots, and always so good to hear.

Lover of the light back in the mix.

Guiding light into Tompkins dropping If I say. Team chat to drop If I say. Quick banjo guitar changes.

Believe, the pyros were back. The crowd’s phone lights looked pretty special in the open air and lawn.

A smooth segway into white blank page, the slowed down version with added fiddle, mixing into Forever, with Gretta returning for her part.

Ditmas, Marcus made it to the back of the seated area, front of the lawn section. Conquering all the steps at speed on the return.

Pyros for Darkness Visible.

B stage. The chaps all ran past the end aisle to the back of the seated area, small space before the lawn area. Sang three songs around the one mic, Timshel, Cold Arms and an unexpected Awake, with Marcus adding you can join in for Awake. Banter. Marcus asking the crowd if they can hear ok at the back. With his retort of “i don’t know what we would do if you couldn’t hear...you should not have been so late Mother Fuckers!”

They went to the Australian open tennis. Marcus saying it’s no Wimbledon, we can say this because we’re from Wimbledon. Marcus shouting “make them hear this in the Rod Laver arena” during The Cave.

Rocking out from the seats with a different perspective was a good thing and most enjoyable. We could watch a family mum, dad and two daughters have the time of their life. How one of the daughters could bounce so high in bare feet at the barrier still amazes me. They had the best of times, knowing every word.

On exiting the park we stumbled across a bloke selling fake merch t shirts, mixing up the black hoodie back print on the front with Australian tour dates on the back. A snip at just $10! It will make me laugh on a cold grey UK February day. If it lasts more than one wash 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

A good evening.

EURO TOUR: JAN-FEB, 2019

Well, 22 days, 15 shows, 13 trains, 10 flights, 8 countries, a lot of Ubers, a couple Taxi’s and 1 rental car later and I’m back at home. This was another great tour but not without its challenges. I got to bring my good friend, Zachari Smith (zacharismith.com) on the road this time and that made a huge difference. Not only was it terrific fun to get to play the shows together, it also made the low moments seem not quite as low. Everything started off great. I flew to Montreal a few days before the start of the tour to rehearse with Zach. It went smoothly and it was wonderful to get to spend time with some of my dear friends in that city before hitting the road. SCOTLAND: We flew to the UK a few days later and started things off in Glasgow. We played in an underground club called Stereo. It was a good first show. There was a good crowd and it felt great to go from rehearsing to actually playing in front of people as a duo. ENGLAND: The next day we took a train to Manchester. We played in a lovely little spot called The Castle Hotel. Jet lag was hitting us pretty hard but we were able to nap before the show. We travelled to London the next morning and after arriving at the wrong hotel, walking with all our stuff to the right hotel, checking in, having a pint and grabbing dinner with friends, we played an incredibly fun show in a very full room at The Old Blue Last. FRANCE: The next morning we got up early and took the train from London to Paris. I remember feeling a little off when I’d gone to sleep the night before, but I assumed it was just the jet lag. We’d both started coughing on the train but I tried to chalk it up to the cold air. By the time we’d arrived at our hotel we knew something was wrong. We managed to grab some food and get back to the hotel room where we spent the next 34 hours sick in our beds. I don’t know if it was food poisoning or the flu, or some awful combination, but we were knocked down. Unfortunately, this meant we had to cancel our show in Paris. I felt (and still feel) horrible for having to cancel the show. I can’t wait to come back and make it up to everyone. When it happens, it’s going to be fantastic! THE NETHERLANDS: We were still feeling awful the next morning. We had to catch another early train and when we eventually arrived in Groningen we went straight to a Pharmacy where we bought everything we could think of. The show that night was in a beautiful old church called the Lutherse Kerk and it was sold out. I drank as much tea and hot water as I could, had what might’ve been a dangerous amount of Advil, cough drops, vitamin C and echinacea and then went ahead with the show. It was an amazing night even though we were feeling sick. The crowd was fantastic and the show went well. DENMARK: After a good night’s sleep we woke up to a much needed day off. We had a lot of travelling to do, but were thankful for no show that night. It was going to be a couple of trains to Amsterdam and a cab to the airport where we’d be catching a flight to Denmark. We were supposed to arrive in Copenhagen around 5pm. Unfortunately, while we were jumping from train to train, I managed to leave my backpack behind. It had my passport, my money and all my information in it. I panicked and ran up and down the train looking for someone who could help. I couldn’t find anyone and I was very close to giving up. Zach called the lost and found and explained the situation to them. Within the hour they’d located my bag and told me I could pick it up at Den Haag Centraal - about an hour train ride from Amsterdam Centraal, where we were. I left Zach with our gear, took the train to Den Haag, grabbed my bag, got on another train back to Amsterdam Centraal, ran with Zach to a cab, raced to the airport and promptly missed our flight to Copenhagen. We had to purchase another flight that would be leaving later that evening. We got to our hotel a little before midnight and crashed hard. The next day we played in a nice little spot called the Ideal Bar. It was a good show and I was glad to play it, but we were both feeling exhausted. NORWAY: We flew to Oslo the next day and took the train from the airport to downtown. The show was in another awesome bar called Krøsset. It went very well and I was so thankful for a smooth night. I got to see some old friends and get to bed before midnight. It was great. GERMANY: We flew to Zurich the next day, and were met at the airport by Zach’s friend, Timo. Zach booked all of the shows in Germany on this run so I was excited to see what was in store for us. We were playing in a cafe/barn in a small village called Wintersulgen right outside Heiligenberg. Timo drove us to his place in Airach for dinner before he drove us to the venue. We had two shows in two days at the cafe and we were happy to be in one place for a little while. Both nights were sold out and both nights went very well. After the show on the first night our host, Martin, took us outside in the snow to his own personal sauna. Between sauna sessions we had snacks and beer and finally felt relaxed. It was like pressing a giant reset button. SPAIN: Timo drove us back to the Zurich airport the next morning where we caught our flight to Madrid. I’d never been to Spain before and I was very excited to check it out. I had no idea what to expect from the venues or the crowds. We played in an underground cave called The Costello Club and we were blown away. The crowd was fantastic and were singing along to the songs! It was an amazing night. We travelled by train to Barcelona the next day where we played in another underground bar called Sidecar and had another amazing night. After the show I spent a long time chatting with people at the merch table. Two people gave me watercolour paintings they’d done of the album artwork from In Deepest Blue, and another woman told me she’s a photographer and she uses my music while she works. I felt so much support from the people at those two shows. I can’t wait until I can come back to Spain again. GERMANY (again): We flew to Frankfurt the next day and then took another train to the city of Erfurt. We had a series of house shows booked in Germany for the next week but, thankfully, we had the night off. We stayed with the hosts of the show in Erfurt. The next morning we picked up our rental car and then we got ready for the show. It was in an office building and they had professional lighting and sound. Zach opened on all the German shows and he did a fantastic job. We had a bit of an after party that night, which was a lot of fun, and then got some rest before heading out the next day. I’d never driven in Germany before but Zach had. He gave me a lot of much needed warnings and explanations before we hit the autobahn. There are long sections on the German highways were there is no speed limit. On average, most people drive between 130-140 km/h. There were many times when I was driving around 160 km/h and a car going over 200 km/h would come out of nowhere and just fly past us. It was crazy. We made it to Dresden and played in a beautiful place called the Castle Röhrsdorf. It was a full room and it went very well. It was the first show I’ve ever played where everything I said to the audience had to be translated (thanks again, Sarah!). We had a great time but were off again before we knew it. This time we drove to Ulm where we played another wonderful show. We had lots of great food before ending the night with a jam session, some absinthe and a little pear schnapps. We headed out the next morning and drove back to our friend Timo’s house. We were staying with him and playing in his village that night. It was another great show and we ended up staying out late connecting with the people there. We had a short drive the next day so we slept in as much as we could. After some coffee and breakfast we drove to Ravensburg for our last show. We were playing in a beautiful old farmhouse. There were over 70 people at the show and it was the best way to end the tour. Zach played a great set and then he and I had a fantastic time playing for everyone. We did two encores and hung out afterwards. We got to bed just before midnight and slept as much as we could before getting up at 3am to drive back to Frankfurt and catch our flights home. Thankfully, everything went smoothly. We drove through rain, snow and fog but managed to arrive on time at the right place with all of our luggage. This was another incredible tour. I’m so incredibly thankful to everyone who came out to the shows and to everyone who had a hand in making this tour possible. A special thank you to: Dan Fraser - my manager who helped organize all our travel arrangements and was always on call despite the crazy time difference, Nettwerk, CAA, Live Nation, Mojo Promotions, Mercury Wheels, Herman, Martin & Alex (and their sauna), Darius & Marion, Dave, Sarah, Arno, Monika, Timo & Sonja, Carmen, Gabi & Alex. And a very special thank you to my friend, Zachari Smith. Touring isn’t easy, but Zach is an absolute pro. He made a difficult job much easier and it was a pleasure to get to play with him, to hear him perform and to just hang out. He’s an amazing songwriter with a new album currently being released. Do yourself a favour and check it out on Spotify or Apple music! Thanks again, everyone. I’m back at home resting but I’m so excited for what’s to come. more soon, -joshua

Sydney #Olympic #gold

The band smashed it out of the Olympic park last night. In summary that’s my review but for more facts keep em peeled!

It was a very very hot day. Going on 36 degrees, what a joy! Thank God for good building design. There was a fixed overhang on the building which at least gave shade, if not coolness. This is the only reason we are still alive to recount the evening!

There is a tap and go “contactless” system for everything it would appear. Having ditched all form of change from the purse on the grounds of “weight” issues, (is there a larger 50 cent coin in existence than the Aussie version!) the vending machine must be a member of slimming world, as the one tap limit was $4.50 and the kitkat chocolate snack option was denied purchase! So it was written that a packet of mixed nuts was the afternoon food of choice.

Today’s queue was sponsored by the sounds of the Cicadas insects. According to google the loudest insect in the world. Didn’t we know that!

We met James, a Pommy, currently working and living in Sydney. Another hardcore fan, and later Sophie who had a 6 hour drive to the gig and this was her first Mumford live experience.

The Qudos Bank Arena is the O2 LONDON equivalent here in Sydney. Ie a substantial venue. With three layers of seating.

Ego ramp and b stage set up.

Gretta growing in confidence, and Michael sporting a fine pair of legs.

Security were nice. Chatting to a guy originally from New Zealand, we all admired his Green stone chisel necklace, and he told us tales of past live shows and how the front row for Paul McCartney was $2,500 a ticket. He managed to move from his spot to enable some security free photos! We shared our emergency Tangfastic sweets with him. Man did they tang, he was too tough to wince (much) but his face told a different tale! 😂

Showtime!

42 💕, LLM I took a moment to take in the love in the room. It was awesome to see the entire arena bounce along, singing and dancing whilst watching the chaps do their thing from behind. Loved it. Already I could feel it was going to be a great evening.

Guiding Light has definitely taken on a deeper love for me. It’s so good.

Banter. More cricket banter, more sandpaper gags, tales of tour days off swimming and jumping in the sea off Manley. With signs that were basically saying you are going to die from sharks here but they swam anyway! Renaming Ghosts that we knew, “C@nts that we knew” after a certain cricket team...

FYI the typo has been amended on the setlist from KNOW to KNEW. We had Holland Road printed up but sadly not sung. But we did get cold arms after Timshel. During Timshel there was some crowd heckling, with Marcus saying, something like did you not get the memo love, And I am at work you know.

We sang our hearts and lungs out for the cave and roll away. Epic. Ben took a higher rollaway ‘leap’ tonight. His landing in Olympic terms, was pro bably a bronze medal effort. His slight stumble meant that the judges would have marked him down.

Much love for Slip Away, Picture you/darkness visible.

Ditmas Marcus managed to get to the back of the arena seating area and only 20 seconds back to the stage at the end.

All too soon it was Delta, confetti supplies from Howard and Sons again. Some unplanned early minor confetti issues during an earlier song, who pressed that button too early?!?!

Finally bagged myself a Delta Tour T-shirt. As for the fit, who knows!!! But I did notice at the updated UK dates are in the back. To all those UK’rs who bought one from the 2018 tour, you have a limited edition incorrect version!

Merch was still minimal, but I do think there was an extra tote bag.

Leaving the venue back to our hotel we noted it was indeed still 30 degrees.
