Dream come true - home town show, dream artist, dream support slot. This was the greatest show of my life.

📸📷 @shotbyphox as always bringing the best out of everyone.
1) cheeky headshot from the queen @shotbyphox
2) Paris and the incredible crowd at the Washington DC show on international women’s day. An incredible privilege to be able to do what I love and also get to make my feminist allyship so public.
3) harmonies at DC from the perspective of Jim’s high hat
4) wonderful Boston crowd at the Royale (cool room!)
5) Paris introducing me to the crowd - always such a warm and friendly (screamy haha) response from the fans. A beautiful community to be a part of.
Tonight is New York, brilliant city teeming with life and hope for a better future filled with progressives who know the world can be better.
Another dream come true, playing for the icon @florence as she came out to join us for @parispaloma 's final song Labour. And what a magnificent song to share and amplify its message so close to international women's day.
It was a perfect storm of amazing things to cap off an insane tour 🍻

6) learning tunes and having fun

It's very concrete here but it has a sort of inspiration to it.
Europe, you were amazing. Just over a week since we got back and it's still fresh in my memory as the best tour I've been a part of to date.
Thank you:
Paris
Brussels
Amsterdam
Köln
Hamburg
Berlin
Copenhagen

For your incredible energy ❤️
Oslo - I can't wait to get back for the postponed show.
Thanks @parispaloma for having me along for the ride of a lifetime.
Now onto the SOLD OUT UK tour in November 🤘
Had an excellent birthday weekend, thanks for all the well wishing - topping it off with a set at Glastonbury today with @parispaloma ! Posting this whilst on my way. First time going and first time playing it. Many happy returns I hope.
1) Guinness cake made by loved one.
2) Going ape at Go Ape
3) Sat in the sun prepping for GLASTONBURY SET 😱
4) Pointing at a plane whilst having a beer in the garden.
Another dreamy night playing bass and guitar for @parispaloma in London!
Lovely crowd, huge moon ("just stand there and get crushed"), and so fun to meet the fairies afterwards!
Some fun fezzies and a couple tours on the horizon. Can't wait.
Delighted to finally announce I'll be opening @parispaloma at the Bristol Exchange on her UK tour! 🍾
Then up on stage with her as her instrumentalist afterwards haha.
Paris and I have a been playing together for a good while now (pictured, me standing behind her on a red carpet) and we've been friends for longer. It's a joy to be along for the ride of her sensational career (as a friend, fan, and colleague) and opening for her at Bristol will be a dream.
It's gonna be a special show, as it'll just feel like a big group of mates hanging out and playing some tunes ❤️
Hope you've got tickets already, as it's already sold out 😱
@exchangebristol
My honest reaction to the new guitar by @powerselectricguitars Andy Powers' (CEO of @taylorguitars ) new baby. It was a thing of beauty.
1) playing
2) enjoying
3) fiddlin with gizmos
4) me receiving the compliment "it suits you" from @tendaihumphreysitima
My response: "hahaha, it's not, I think, I don't think" - learning how to receive compliments.
Thank you for giving me a chance to muck around with this toy, looking forward to seeing it in stores in June and hopefully then in my home on the same day.
