Ears hurt, guzzling medicine, in need of sleep — but having just done my final show for the year at Day for Night I wanted to say a thank you to everyone who made it out to watch at festivals and on my headline tour this year. Every day was overwhelming and surprising. Travelling and being in new spaces can be strange and anxiety-riddled and extreme, but there wasn't a single show where I didn't appreciate everyone who showed their support and connect with what I'm doing.
I'll be opening a new live chapter next year at festivals — trying things out with new collaborators, projects, performances. Stay tuned. Always, FSx
