That wouldn’t have been my guess, but when you’re not from the country it gets lost on you. Although with England, you can definitely tell the difference between the South and the North, and then you have Scotland, Ireland and Wales too. Do you know of Stella Donnelly? She’s Australian and also Welsh and she speaks some Welsh.

All to say, I don’t interact with that if I’m not on tour, so I’ve had to be on tour for a while to start realising that you meet people and then you see each other again, like camp friends every summer. You’ll be at the same festival or be on the same bill for some reason. It’s taken a while to do the first meeting of people and then loop back around and see them again, and that second time you realize, “Oh wait, we’ve only seen each other twice but now we’re close, because we’ve known each other for a while, and we understand each other’s mode of living.” I think that’s even more valuable than the amount of time you spend with somebody, just knowing how they spend their time, up close and personal, and knowing what they’re up against, in a way.
