Rule The World Australian Tour 2026 – Thank You!
Hello, my lovelies – long appreciation post ahead!
We’re safely arrived back home in Scotland as of yesterday and working hard to get back to some kind of balance here again. It’s always incredibly weird moving from one parallel universe life in another hemisphere back to base again, it’s going to take a few weeks before we feel remotely human again, I reckon! But we’re still buzzing after an epic Down Under tour that exceeded expectations once again, with a few surprises chucked in along the way. We were lucky enough to stay one step ahead of the Central Queensland floods on our homeward journey by mere hours, but it was a close-run thing in the end!
It was SO good to share hugs, chats and music with some of our favourite humans on the planet again after 2 years apart. We got to hang out with some truly fabulous artists, caught up with old friends and made heaps of new ones. We rocked our hearts out hard in front of audiences who gave that big energy back to us in spades at every show. We performed at some super supportive venues, all passionate about live music and supporting us in return. We reconnected with our talented Aussie band boys and rediscovered the joy of playing live together again after 2 years away. We also got to meet and work with a brand-new band member, Dylan, on bass, who fitted into our vibe so easily straight away and brought his A-game, along with his supportive family network, to his Festival performance! We lost count of the number of memories banked along the way, heart overflowing with gratitude at every turn. Simply magic!
This ‘Rule The World’ tour would not have been remotely possible without the invaluable support of ALL the following Rockstars in my life, I’m so grateful to you all:
Laurie Rayment, Louis Parish and Dylan Passmore, for genuinely digging my songs and rocking out on stage with me, we had so much fun together!
Ken Chynoweth-Tidy for being my rock and voice of reason, not just in music but in life. You’re the best duo partner a girl could ever hope for xx
Matt and Sianne Maddick for the spare bed, great company and the loan of their spare family car for two whole months – bloody brilliant!
John Nicholson and Suzanne Hall for the fabulous accommodation in Agnes Water, the shared meals, music jams, possibly a few too many ‘sundowners’, one lunar eclipse and some long conversations with you guys!
Stephen Paine, Karen Thomsen, Heidi Mcmahon and Mark Dobson from Che Remedy for loaning us some really top-notch music gear for our gigs! We hope that we did it all justice.
Rosalind Hall and family – for the pick-ups and drop-offs, a very welcome spare bed, shared meals, conversations and great company in BrisVegas.

HUGE THANKS to the wonderful Lianne B Loach for journeying many miles and working hard with us on this tour in the often challenging humidity of a Central Queensland summer, capturing some fabulous video and images at each and every show. She is so passionate about the original live music scene, and we appreciate her support so much!
To the team at 1770 LARC! Tours for a fabulous day out on their Paradise Tour to Bustard Head Lighthouse and back. We didn’t have a lot of downtime on this trip, and you guys delivered the BEST kind of battery recharge experience for us after a hectic Festival week.
To all of our wonderful audiences who have been dancing, singing and appreciating the music out front – you’re the reason that we do what we love to do. Thank you for making this tour so much fun!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for rocking our world. We couldn’t have done this tour without you!!
