I got to go home and see my family and jump back on the bike and everything, which was just great to do. They surprised me by taking me into town and said I just had a photo shoot on and when I went in there, there was about 2000-3000 people in the park. It was just packed and I got to jump up and play a bunch of songs with my mates. Everyone was there with signs and screaming out all the Wingham support, and there were people from Taree, so that was really cool.

 

It was great just getting back to music and I had no idea I was doing it, so I played about fix or six songs just off the top of my head with my mates, but they came across alright. I got to sign a bunch of autographs and talk to everyone. Met a bunch of family and friends I hadn’t seen for a long time, so that was great.

In the morning I got to do a breakfast show with the local radio station. People were calling in and I played a couple of original songs on the show, so that was a heap of fun.

Didn’t get in the bottom three this week, so I was really happy about that. All the guys got straight through. Fingers crossed I don’t have to be there again next week, but it’s starting to come down lower and lower, so the chances of me being in the bottom three are a lot higher, I guess.

I want to say thanks to everybody for coming out on Tuesday and meeting me there and for all the support I’ve been getting. I didn’t quite realise how much support I was getting from my local town, but it’s just incredible - I had everyone coming up to me on the street and saying good luck. So thanks everybody.

James
