Do you unpack the gear from the van every night for fear of your gear being stolen? I've always wondered this about tours that aren't in giant trucks and tour busses. Loving the VLOGs and the album. All the best for the remainder and the crowds look strong so hopefully that means the financials sort themselves out in a positive way!
I'm sitting here on my couch, a 58 year old musician, tearing up at how wonderful this is and how happy I am for your success Mary!! WELL DONE! WELL DONE INDEED!! BRAVO!
I'm loving these episodes of the tour Mary, it's amazing that you had the time and energy to even think about vlogging so thank you for taking us along with you retrospectively.
"Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong." - Ella Fitzgerald . Go for it !
This is all wonderful. You probably want a bit of break after all this, but after the rest, I hope that you are inspired to make the next one even bigger. The world needs your art.
Mary, your skills are so broad I believe you could easily veer into Jazz or harder rock, wherever your muse should lead you. Whatever you do, please keep putting music out there so we can all enjoy it. Grazie!
Keep it coming! Take care to space shows and rest! October 2023 Soren Andersen played one of my Stormbringer guitars on stage with legend Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple). For the first time ever, my brother turned to me and said ''Well done Edd, I'm proud of you!" - treasure that sibling praise!
Saw them 3x in FL last Winter...Soren Rules! Best show ever! Mary get on the Rock Cruise Ship Circuit and play South FL. Weather is perfecto in Feb/March.
Greetings from Las Vegas. I enjoy your music and videos. ...they pop at 1220p plus I have good speakers on my desk. BTW it seems most of stereo equipment reviews are British. Good work, UK.
"I really enjoy watching your touring journey. Although the trip may be exhausting, it is full of passion. Wishing you a successful performance." Jason from Malaysia
The video that I was waiting for! It was an amazing show -thanks to Mary and team for pulling it all together! It's great that I can see myself in the front row in a couple of the shots :D
I was considering booking a ticket, but things came up. I was aware of your connection to Bristol and having lived in Bath, working in Bristol for a while, I knew that it would be a special event, I hope that many of your friends and former students/lecturers could also attend.
Take a good care of yourself. Health is big part of longevity to any career as well as having a life worth living. Enjoy the journey of life. Much respect to your aspiration of chasing your dream.
I actually made it to the London show so looking forward to the next vlog. The power of live performance is so much better than other forms - quite surprised at that actually - new earworms. Thing is Mary, you can't stop touring now, it's addictive!! 🎸💃🎼
Congrats, one of many! It's all about the feeling you get that drives you to want more.....Addiction?....WELL HELL YEAH!!!!!! Congrats again! I'm from Canada just so you have some feedback info of who is watching your channel...
Thanks for sharing this, Mary. The sound was great and the audience was really with you. I can see why this was special for you. Looking forward to the London vlog.
Thank you so much for taking us with you on the road and on stage, that’s awesome ! Your talent is shining and the music’s great. Following you from Paris where I do hope you and your band will stop one day ! Wish you the very best 🤗
Home show was always going to be a big one. Thanks for the instrumental release - it's playing away in the lab this morning (I made sure I was first in to claim music rights for the day!) Getting some very positive responses from my colleagues (well, apart from the one who subjects us to 6Music!)
You looked so cool and beautiful on stage and afterwards,( unlike myself !) who knew one could look this good after very little sleep. ❤ I loved your show and your music and storytelling skills are amazing. ‘Darling, you need therapy’ is one of my all time favourites. Looking forward to coming to another show.
It's a long time since I did my last gig, but there's nothing like it - the adrenaline of the show, the satisfaction of a happy audience the teamwork of everyone involved. Enjoy every minute Mary, and have many more in the future!
Though I can’t imagine you ever would, it’s so reassuring to hear you be able to use the full expressive power of your voice, unencumbered by anything as crass as auto-tune. Brava!
Mary it's the first 2 years of road trip tours that will be exhausting but it was sharpen you into who you are !... so go to the grinder and shoot some Sparks 😉 . It's all fun and keep laughing
This is another great vid, to have a dream and be in it..... wow, You can Feel the anxiety and nerves pre show yet that’s what you miss when it’s over. Keep going Mary , best of luck to you 😊
Super stuff Mary. You are making strides and all done to your persistent hard graft. Congrats to you and your team supporting you. Your effort at creating video content is so impressive and you have certainly shown me how to do it.
Recently discovered you and your music - love your approach to music and all things 'life!' Looked up your tour and was devastated that I missed your Bristol venue at St George's! Great little venue, would have loved to have been there! Consolation is being able to watch this! Bravo to you! 👏👏🎶
THANKS Mary you need wiiiiiings! Brilliant peak behind the scenes you said to me you were really nervous in Bristol nope you were excited to play live to your Mum and Bristolian mates... ❤❤❤
Well, your first CD finally arrived in the mail, here in the States! Very, very enjoyable! Love your and your band's sound. It's quite a soothing sound you share. Smooth... is my first descriptor. I can't wait for more of your music. And, I look forward to you delving into some elements of "edgy". (Take that request for what you make of it. It's not a critique - it's a request! Hoping you'll get noticed here on this side of the pond. Looking forward to your London show!
It must have been amazing to return to your stomping ground, it’s a really nice place. What did you think about The Cavern? I’ve seen the Monalisa twins there when I went up north, I enjoyed their Beatles tributes! Good luck with the Album, got my download and listen to it a lot it’s lovely!
@@MarySpender I'm hoping for Cardinal Black to return to the U.S., this time for a tour of the Southeast, particularly Georgia, which surely influenced that bluesy, soulful voice of Tom Hollister. And were you and your band to be double-billed with them, what a fabulous show that would be.

Mary has the wonderful world weary look of a traveling musician.
You're tired but it's a good tired.

Well done. Proof hard work pays off and the platform of social media. No major labels. Doing it on your own terms!

Yay! this makes me so happy!
Loving this series so far.
And a Chris Buck cameo?!?
How amazing it would be to hear the two of you jam!
Loved the show and the vlog. Odd seeing ourselves in the audience. 😮. Hope to see you again soon.
I was considering booking a ticket, but things came up. I was aware of your connection to Bristol and having lived in Bath, working in Bristol for a while, I knew that it would be a special event, I hope that many of your friends and former students/lecturers could also attend.
Sounds great! Hello from Colorado USA! I didn’t know you knew Chis. I watch the both of you! Good luck in the London!! Bob
Take a good care of yourself. Health is big part of longevity to any career as well as having a life worth living.

I see you picked up a Kopf watch while in Bristol. Thanks for the tour Vlog. Looks like a lot of fun
I spotted that watch, too.

Good to see The great one himself (Chris Buck)is showing support . So happy for you Ms. Mary. You’re living my dream. Salude❤.
So so good to see you out playing live music to live people. How the joy of music should be shared. Well done and keep going.
Keep up the good work you’re doing great. We’re all cheering for you. You’re an amazing woman. Can’t wait to hear all your music
Another great show Mary! Such a great writer and performer and mentor to many of us.

I enjoyed the Bristol vlog and I will definitely be watching the London one.🎼👏👏💐😀.
So nice...watching your dreams come true 👍
So glad you documented the tour in this way, amazing to watch. Hope you will make it to Australia one day!
So cool to see Mary, so happy to see you out on the road!!
You have picked some fab venues Mary that looked amazing too 👍👍
Really appreciate that. Wanted it to be a beautiful experience.
You looked so cool and beautiful on stage and afterwards,( unlike myself !) who knew one could look this good after very little sleep. ❤
I loved your show and your music and storytelling skills are amazing. ‘Darling, you need therapy’ is one of my all time favourites. Looking forward to coming to another show.
You deserve all the plaudits, Mary.
Saw Chris Rock with Cardinal Black in The Troubadour in LA back in July and he is a WONDERFUL guitar player.
Chris Rock?
The black American comedian and actor?
He plays guitar?
@@suzanneemerson2625 Buck!!! Clearly a brainfart on my part - it happens at my age!!
Always love seeing a new vid from Mary ❤
Bristol for the win !!! Hugs from Indy!
It's a long time since I did my last gig, but there's nothing like it - the adrenaline of the show, the satisfaction of a happy audience the teamwork of everyone involved. Enjoy every minute Mary, and have many more in the future!
It`s great following your tour diary! Hope you visit Norway one day!
Great series of vlogs so far. Very enjoyable. Congrats on what looked like a successful tour!
Though I can’t imagine you ever would, it’s so reassuring to hear you be able to use the full expressive power of your voice, unencumbered by anything as crass as auto-tune. Brava!
Well done Mary - the hard yards..

This is simply the greatest concert vlog I have ever witnessed.
What a very fine place to play.
Recently discovered you and your music - love your approach to music and all things 'life!' Looked up your tour and was devastated that I missed your Bristol venue at St George's! Great little venue, would have loved to have been there! Consolation is being able to watch this! Bravo to you! 👏👏🎶

I remember driving across the Avon Gorge bridge many years ago.
Incredible performances! I can’t wait for you to have a US tour :)
Was lovely to revisit the gig I attended
Very nice Mary!
THANKS Mary you need wiiiiiings!
Brilliant peak behind the scenes you said to me you were really nervous in Bristol nope you were excited to play live to your Mum and Bristolian mates... ❤❤❤
Amazing!👏👍🎸🎶
Mary had a nice hangover this morning lol A little fun is very much deserved though. 😊
Safe travels!
It was a great show. Very much enjoying these back stage vlogs
Living the dream. Keep going x
Way to go Mary!!
Nice watch👍🏼
Great job. Thanks for sharing your immense talent with us.
Good Job Mary. Enjoy the tour.
Hope it keeps going well.
❤
Thanks for the video, it was a great show even if the audience was rather reserved! Haha, just spotted myself in the merch queue near the end.
Another good video. My thought is that you are doing authentic, not puffed up. I like it. :)
very good...
Vey nice tone from the electric guitar. Also an interesting watch on your wrist Mary
Marry you have to find Fran-Lab next time you're in the Philadelphia area ... Fran-Lab of the Fran-Tone foot pedals 🙂
YaaaY!! =)
Come to Peach's, in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Rock with Bill Sykes and Doctor Meat.
Well, your first CD finally arrived in the mail, here in the States! Very, very enjoyable! Love your and your band's sound. It's quite a soothing sound you share. Smooth... is my first descriptor.

Chris Buck! Wow! I hope you two get to play together. His work with Cardinal Black is extraordinary.
It really is! Hopefully one day we can tour together! Joining forces would be amazing

Wow!
I really wanted to attend this but couldn't due to illness. Hopefully you'll be back to brizzle or maybe Cardiff one day soon
Awwwww
Do deserve and need a good rest! This was amazing!
Mary niiiiice, there’s football too. Jeff in LA USA
another great tour vlog!
Thank you!
It's weird seeing everyone sat down at this venue after seeing you at the Joiners where there are no seats.
Falling in love 🌹💐😘🥰😍💗🥁
That Two-Rock though.... damn...
❤❤ 🙌
I think you are very beautiful without make up. You look natural and fresh even when tired.
One thing I'll never get is how/why sound checks can be held in an empty auditorium. How can acoustics be determined without people in the seats?
Green IEM's! :)
Did I notice you’re using the Fender Tone Master Pro? What are your impressions using live? Sounded great!
London next 😃 wonder if I appear in the video somewhere 😅
