Climb aboard the Mothership with live footage from Stephen and Andy’s Guelph concert.
I attended the show in Guelph and have to tell you: fan-f*cking- tastic!
Stephen: You’ve got your swagger back. It’s great to hear the joy back in your voice again. Your playing perfectly complimented the tunes, and vocally, you were superb. The harmonies were very crisp, in perfect pitch and truly enhanced the songs.
Andy: This was the first time I’ve had the pleasure of hearing you, and it was brilliant. Your playing and singing were spot on. Loved Italian Girls on Mopeds!
F&W: Great songs! Heard a few voices and influences (Neil Finn comes to mind), but the songs were wholly original and goddamned glorious! Bought the disc and love it!
The easy stage demeanor and endless jokes told of a duo that clearly enjoy playing together. Loved the Netherlands bit – both the reading and the musical accompaniment.
Best show I’m likely to see all year. Congrats and please come again!

The final concert of the CD release tour in Canada has sold out – there’s an article from the Ottawa Sun here. Stephen and Andy will return to Canada in the summer, playing Winnipeg and Edmonton Folk Festivals along with a one-off Calgary show. After that it’s October in Ontario, Nova Scotia and the UK.
The Guelph show was filmed and recorded – in a beautiful old church. In Hamilton, the guys went to the Hamilton Spectator for a live webcast from the newsroom – with two songs, you can see the interview here.
Guelph is something of a home gig for Stephen and Andy – it’s where most of the album was written and where all of it was recorded. There’s an article in the Guelph Mercury here and photos from last night’s Hamilton show here. Ray Farrugia who drummed on the album was there, as well as the mighty Tom WIlson.
Some songs from the WECC concert in Winnipeg:
Heart of the Morning
Rockwood
Another city and another Breakfast TV appearance for Stephen and Andy – will the guys ever get to sleep in?
