Newcastle crowds are amazing

[@forrey6437]

John has quickly become my favourite part of the tour vlogs. He speaks so passionately about the arts and is extremely entertaining. His resemblance to comedian Jack Dee is truly uncanny though!!

[@sturm4n]

We shall call him JohnDee

[@bane431-v8j]

John is the true OG of the tour.

[@jaack]

He really is.

[@CallumMack]

These vlogs are phenomenal, thanks for sharing your experience. Tour manager John would be great on the podcast!

[@HattyBee]

absolutely need john on the podcast

[@ryananthony2549]

Hi Robbie, absolutely loved the show last night in Newcastle! I’m so thrilled I got to meet you all afterwards too, thank you for being so kind and generous with your time. I wish I said more but my social anxiety got the better of me. I’m new to the city and don’t know anybody here so had to go alone, I almost U-turned at the entrance due to my nerves but I’m so glad I pushed through it. You guys got me through the hardest period of my life, and made me smile at a time it felt impossible to so thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I wish I got to thank Stevie in person for bravely sharing what he went through in the past, and discussing mental health. Stories like his helped me to pluck up the courage to share my own story, and now a video I made is on the BBC website, and is played in most schools across the UK to raise mental health awareness. Best of luck with the rest of the tour, not that you guys need it. Keep it up you legends!

[@RobbieKnox]

So glad you came down to the show and amazing about the video you made. Lovely to meet you pal. x

[@brandonm8901]

Love the honesty and transparency about the realities of the job from John. Not trying to over-glorify it for anyone who may be interested in it

[@edcolton8385]

We need a pod episode with John after the tour! I'd love to see him keep popping up

[@gxheywood]

Went to the Birmingham show so it's been so interesting to see all the behind the scenes stuff in these videos after. I know everyone is saying it but John really is a fascinating guy. Look forward to his facts in every video.

[@TheSanctioningBoxer]

If John had a KZbin channel about his work life it would bang 💥

@@jaack Hi Jack. Thank you for getting back to me and clearing up my concerns. The generosity of getting back to me while on tour will never be forgotten. As an outsider looking in I couldn't help but notice. I had to ask the question. Does he own any other hoodies? Does he own multiple of the same Hoodie? Does he wear the Hoodie once, throw it away and buy a new one? I will now be able to sleep well at night. Cheers, Big Fella x

Jack is getting quite arrogant isn't he. He's developed a very high opinion of himself and looks down on the others in the group. Such a shame as he always seemed pretty humble.

Nah, he's not really, we're just messing around for the video. He's great.
