Hello, we're Hudson Taylor here at the City Winery in Chicago
and yeah we've been asked to share some of our crazy tour stories.
So yeah in 2013 this is just crazy because it it's just you couldn't write
this story about you know what we would have
never imagined this happening. We were asked to play in Hyde Park in
London supporting the Rolling Stones you know
it was on this f***ing stage way at the back of the
field that was playing for about 500 people and we
were delighted we were able to tell all our friends were supporting the
Rolling Stones and it was brilliant. The show went really well that was that
we were ready packing up our gear ready to go home.
Well we were going to watch the Stones. We were going to watch the Stones yeah
we're packing up all our stuff into the van
that's enough of that. Then the promoter of the
of the whole thing came down to our show to watch us and he really liked it so
that was another bonus. It turns out that the band one of the
bands on the main stage who was two before the Stones his name's Tom
O'Dell great great keys player and singer-songwriter
he had a chest infection that day and just before the show 40 minutes
before the show he goes no I can't do it I can't do it
you're gonna have to give it to someone else or I'll just not play.
So the promoter then just after seeing us gives us a shout
or not us but our manager and just says
guys you're on the main stage can you do it you have 35 minutes to get all your
stuff up there. All Tom's gear was already up there
his drums his keys everything so he just eventually
let us use all of that just to save time. Knocked on the shower got our drummer
out of there it was his first day on the job as I said
he only knew 10 songs and we had to play 14
you know suddenly we're going on to 55,000 people
in Hyde Park just before the Stones on their 50th anniversary
you know it was just absolutely crazy one of the sunniest and hottest days
London has seen in a good while as well so yeah it was just
we were smiling like ear to ear and we've actually had people in
America say that they saw us because it got
broadcasted over here on tv so while we've been on this tour recently
oh yeah someone said we had a couple people say like oh yeah actually the way
we discovered you was by watching you yeah yeah on the
on the tv which we weren't even supposed to be on
you know so that is a pretty crazy tour story yeah actually
supporting the Rolling Stones shared the same stage
all of their crew put our gear on stage for us
because it was such a last minute thing yeah
yeah that one and there's some other pretty wild ones as well but we'll get
back to them another time
