Sam Palladio x The Temperance Movement

Just wrapped an incredible UK run with the legend that is Sam Palladio, supporting The Temperance Movement, and I had such a great time!

We kicked things off in Bristol, then hit London, Manchester, and Glasgow for the first leg. After a short break, we were back at it—this time in Birmingham, Newcastle, and back to Glasgow for round two.

The venues were top-tier. Playing Kentish Town Forum in London was a real highlight—it’s one of those places that just buzzes with history and good vibes. In Glasgow we played The Garage first time round, and then Barrowlands on our return. That was my first time playing Barrowlands, and it lived up to every bit of the hype. Unreal energy.

Playing Sam’s music live is just a joy—great tunes, great vibe, and the set flows so naturally. He’s a great performer and a class act to tour with. There’s a real sense of connection on stage, and that always translates to the audience.

A bonus highlight for me: sharing the stage (and far too many brunches) with my good pal Thommy Donuts, who’s on keys and guitar for this gig. Any time Thommy and I tour together, it turns into a hunt for the best coffee and fanciest poached eggs in whichever city we’re in. The music’s great—but the flat whites and sourdough are also important tour moments. Priorities, right?

Big thanks to everyone who came out to the shows—it was a proper pleasure playing for you. And to the Temperance Movement crew: thanks for having us on the road, it was an honour to share the stage.
