1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: A couple of significant moments coming this weekend. After eighteen years,

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: the Homegrown Music Festival is finishing in the Capitol and

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: as part of that lineup of course she Harder there,

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: who will play their last ever performance, and John Too

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Good as well us John.

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: Morning, Modena, Mike, how are you very well?

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: Thank you? How's the summer of Goodbys gone?

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: It's been huge. Actually, we've just got back from Australia.

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: Every show in Australia was sold out. I don't think

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: we've done that, and it's just been a joyous celebration

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: of music every night.

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: And when you make a big decision like this and

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: then everyone goes no, no, don't go and sells out,

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: do you think, oh, bugger, I've made the wrong decision.

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: Ah. This is something we've been thinking about for a while.

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think COVID came around and it forced

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: us all to stop work for a bit there, and

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: all of a sudden I sort of looked at my

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: six year old nine year old and went, oh, man,

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: I've been working so hard to keep a roof over

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: these guys head, so I'm sort of missing them. And

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: I think we all had sort of different sort of

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: personal and things like that, and I think just for

24
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: once in my life, from when I've been eighteen, she

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: has always been the priority. It's always come first before everything,

26
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: and so I just wanted to try putting my family

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: first good.

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: And so you're at peace with it, obviously.

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, And I've been loving it, you know, And

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: you know what, I don't know what I'm going to

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: feel like in a year and a half time, maybe

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: I'll be bored out of my mind and a lot

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: to be rocking again, But for now that I'm very

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: at peace with that decision.

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: And so will it be a have a little something

36
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: to it this weekend? Do you think that last day

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: a time?

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: I think so. I think even beyond it being our

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: last show, I think that's going to be very obvious

40
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: to people that aren't there, Like our parents aren't there anymore.

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: We've both and Tom, we've lost our pers It's in

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: the city, seven year career who's always work side of

43
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: stage at every she had home show. So that's going

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: to be pretty pretty pretty intense, I think. And I

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: just think, yeah, it might all the reality and it

46
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: might hit around that time, but the whole tour, I mean,

47
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: it's been going for a month and a half now

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: it's actually just been business as usual. It's like we're

49
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: sticklers for perfection and we want to make sure every

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: show is great and that's all we do.
