In Canberra, ACT — We knew this was going to be a special tour when a few days before we left we received a message from someone with the last name Bromham.
(For those who don’t know, Bromham is Dave’s mum’s maiden name and it’s not at all common in Australia.)
They had stumbled upon our band on social media and thought it was just a funny coincidence until they saw that we have a song called Hellfire Jack (named after Dave’s ancestor who was a pirate) which was also the name of their pirate ancestor. Surely this couldn’t be a coincidence!
To top it all off, they were also living in Canberra (Dave’s home town too) and ended up coming along to our Canberra show at @ganggangcafe with their mother and met Dave and his mother.
So it was only the first night of our tour and already Dave had a “new” 3rd cousin and we’d been able to play our songs to more real life Bromhams! It was going to be a good weekend!
