Looking after FoH for @dbssolutions who supplied PA and control for the Cast show at Blackpool Olympia.

Always proper kit with dBs giving us DiGiCo Q225 at FoH with SD rack over optocore. Whilst getting my hands on Martin WPC again flying 10 boxes PA right.

With all bands having engineers that really means converting/verifying session files, setting up Smaart and keeping the touring engineer happy!

A week doing systems at Roundhay Festival with @dbssolutions supporting @22liveuk - With some bonus main stage action to finish off the weekend.

As you can see at times we were rushed off our feet. Special shoutout to the world’s worst air conditioned tour bus.

New Zealand! My heart is full 🇳🇿

Quite honestly the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited, and to have shared the time here with such amazing people makes me feel incredible lucky (many that aren’t pictured!)

Australia & New Zealand 🇦🇺🇳🇿

A chapter I'll remember for the rest of my life and impossible to sum up in just one social media post (but I'll try anyway!)

7 weeks, 38 shows, 22 towns and cities, tens of thousands of miles travelled. From adrenaline fuelled performances and skydiving for the first time to quiet moments of solitude and reflection in art galleries and nature gardens; that side of the world has left a imprint on my very being that I'll never forget (with a few bumps, scratches, bruised ribs and some pretty serious sunburn along the way).

2026 so far has tested me mentally, physically and spiritually but I'm proud of myself for making it through and performing my heart out night after night alongside these incredibly talented bunch of legends. I have such gratitude for getting to experience this wild, world expanding opportunity of a tour.

A huge congratulations to whole The Rock Orchestra band, crew and team for such an epic and successful run of shows, immensely privileged to have been a part of it. And finally, a huge thank you to all the awesome audiences who welcomed us with open arms every night.

Onwards we go x

Cheers @josephmurphyfilm for so many of these great stage shots!

The Rock Orchestra Tour Part 2: NEW ZEAAALAAAND

3 more weeks of absolute silliness and the delirium setting in featuring very intense wine tastings, brunch over skydiving, being waterboarded by a river multiple times, almost losing Eddie to said river, Waiheke exploring, being reunited with old friends, winning $200 dollars on my first bet in the casino, really good steak, really good wine, really good oysters, lots of hiking, panicking before saying any place names on stage, luging and wine tasting combos, tiny planes and turbulence, outing AJ as a traitor, the wine pact, baby Guinness, a woman flashing her tits at the brass section, pre-show cuddles with puppies, and the longest saddest journey home.

So glad to be back on home soil and reunited with Joe and Juno, but going to miss all of the adventures with my new pals! 💜

🇳🇿🍾🌊🥝

The Rock Orchestra Tour Part 1: AUSTRALIAAAA

Been back from the most whirlwind six weeks, learning a new show, making new friends and being lucky enough to go back to one of my fave places in the world (and with my @josephmurphyfilm being a creative genius by my side). 3 weeks of incredible venues, 40 degree heat, amazing coffee, amazing audiences, very large prawns, very bad sunburn, an abundance of oysters, cute animals, jumping spiders, the best Thai massage I’ve ever had, Pilates savagery, getting drowned inside a speedboat, beachside wine, the sushi train of dreams, the best Japanese food outside of Japan (served in a private dining room), and a whole load of new friends made 💜

🇦🇺🦘🐨 Thank you so much Australia for the best of memories!

naked mole-rat looking creature jumps out of a plane and other Aus/New Zealand highlights, including 38 shows, rafting down 7 meter waterfall, hiking in high places, delicious coffee, counting endless stars, getting soaked in Sydney Harbour, lots of pilates, even more wine and seafood, blood moon tarot, beach days, road tripping through the most spectacular scenery I’ve ever seen and obviously above all, these incredible people I got to experience it all with. I’ll remember this forever.

Not pictured:
That hotel with no windows
Delays longer than the flight itself
My terror on the drive to skydiving
Double show days with a lovely long bus ride after
The great sunburn of Cairns 2026
Losing my favourite sunnies
The smell of Rotorua… sorry

Disclaimer: none of the above detract from my overwhelming gratitude and awe that this was a chapter in my life. Sending all the love to @therockorchestra for a dream tour
