Our new video for Blind Leading The Blind is out now.

Working with Nick Davies made the process of making this an absolute privilege. Given our long history of work together, it was a complete joy to be under his direction again. We wanted to access the nature of the song, including some of its anger, introspection and even self-flagellation. A drum kit and an old sweaty laundry in Bangkok while on tour provided all we needed.

Hope you enjoy.

We are delighted to launch the new Gentlemen of the Road x Deering Banjos Goodtime Banjo! The perfect banjo for starters also makes an ideal travelling banjo and sounds so good we’ve even used it in the studio.

And above all else it’s the Xmas present of dreams…

So as you’re sitting down en famille this holiday season to watch everyone’s favourite Christmas movie Deliverance, with this GOTR banjo you can now re-enact all your favourite scenes! “Goddam you play a mean banjo!”

Blind Leading The Blind has been a song we’ve had up our sleeves for some time, which ended up being a catalytic song for much of our work on Delta, its themes and feelings, but that we never got round to finishing in time to put it on the original release. We’re proud that we’ve finally finished it, as it feels like one of the most challenging songs, thematically, that we’ve put out there, both for ourselves and our audience. It feels it’s becoming harder and harder to coerce yourself into a listening, present and unafraid disposition, but that’s the gauntlet we’re throwing down for ourselves.

Listen now everywhere.

Holy shit balls I’ve got a signature banjo?!

I don’t know how I even persuaded my band mates that I could play banjo, let alone anyone else, but in a bizarre sequence of events now banjos are being sold with my name on it. It’s a weird world we live in. This only goes to show that “fake it till you make it” turns out to be quite wise words to live by.

Dear friends,

We have been planning an adventure to Mexico and the western states of America and we couldn’t be more excited to announce that tickets are now available. We will be bringing along Gang of Youths who we’ve travelled across Europe with on this Delta world tour. We get to visit some of our favourite cities and we can’t wait to have a sing and a dance with you.
