Had a lovely day of it a few months ago recording a conversation about the bass guitar and music for @skytv . The first episode of Greatest Basslines airs on Sky Arts tonight at 9pm. Hug your bassists haha 🫶
We left our romance in a hundred and sixty two pieces with you- thank you for giving yours back to fill us up again, to the brim, and even up above the brim,
So many memories in so little time,
It’ll take a while to swing the branches back up, they’ve bent so low for long,
But to have happily swung branches on earth is a fine thing,
Any kid wearing his granddad’s wellies would know that,
I’m lucky to still be wearing mine ,
And though I have to hang them up from time to time (now being one of those)
In my heart I’ll never really part with them !

Big thank you to @robynlynchireland for the amazing Mayo @cpcompany tracksuit she made me for this show 💫
Big thanks to Nicolas Daley for these amazing pieces for our Manchester show - amazing stuff as usual man - thanks Manchester for being the best crowd as always, Maggies in the mud for sure. last 4 shows of the romance tour ahead 💘
Our first big show in London was at The Finsbury pub to about 20 people -
Our last one was at the park next door.
Proud to have the lads in our band; our friends and family; the amazing acts supporting us; the people who work with us, and to all have made this journey together -
Proud to have fallen in love with music, and every gig still feeling like the first !
“Style is quite similar to making music—it can evoke a specific fear or hesitation. For example, when I wanted to try pigtails or wear grills, I’d question myself: “Can I actually pull this off?” Often, that fear stems from worrying about what others might think. But when I realise it’s something I genuinely want to do and it reflects who I am, it becomes interesting. It’s the same with music. When you’re writing something bold, there’s always that moment of doubt: What will people think?
With [Fontaines D.C.’s latest album] Romance, we pushed our style further. That came with discomfort and fear. To get used to it, I had to integrate those bold looks into my everyday life—wearing them while running errands, for example. By the time we hit the stage, it felt natural.” —Conor Deegan @deego_iii
