‘Hey guys! The tour’s been going really good and I’m at home right now chilling with my mum, so I thought I’d give you all an update! It’s been amazing so far and obviously, this time around everyone knows the words and can really get into all of the songs, which I just buzz off more. On the last tour, everyone was listening and taking it all in because they hadn’t heard the music before, but now it all feels so much more relaxed and everyone’s more up for it.
The tour has been so much more intense this time around – starting from tomorrow, I have something like 8 dates in a row, so it’s gonna be pretty hardcore, but I’m LOVING it and my band have been so amazing to perform with.
Liverpool has to be the best place I’ve performed at so far. It was an absolutely incredible night and it was on a Saturday as well, so everyone was really up for it and I think they loved it. Tomorrow I’m playing in Manchester (my home town), which I can’t wait for! Lots of my family and friends are coming and we’re gonna go on a big night out after!
The song I’ve loved performing the most on tour has probably been ‘You’ll Never Get To Heaven’, because I didn’t get to sing it on the last one and it’s one of the songs I wrote on the album. I love performing songs that I’ve written myself – the fans have been going mental for it too!
It’s been amazing to hear the fans sing my lyrics back to me on stage. When I was younger, I always said that was the feeling I couldn’t wait for!
Inbetween the shows I’ve been doing different things to help me chill out. In Liverpool, I had a massive night out with the band and the other night we all went swimming in our hotel, had an early night in our dressing gowns, telling each other stories and watching movies. Other than that, I’ve just been sleeping all day on the tour bus and eating LOADS of chocolate!
I’m SO excited for the next single release! We chose ‘The Boy Who Murdered Love’ because it runs along the same theme as ‘Once’ and I think it’s such a fun, catchy song that I can really relate to, as I wrote it myself. I also thought we could do a great video with it – as a package it’s just a really good song and I hope you guys love it as much as I do!’
