was it like meeting the rock how did that happen and then went for dinner with them after
and he's like talking to me as if i'm a peer dude i'm really not oh you are there
right we are going to be going down memory lane with the wonderful george ezra right now who's
joined us thank you for joining us for this not at all are you ready to take a trip down memory
lane yeah i am ready i can see the first photo already it's a good memory as long as you don't
hit me with anything there's nothing weird i haven't been going like too personally yeah or
anything like that you know speaking to relatives oh god is that kind of thing happening i love
it we should have got baby pictures next time shall i tell you what i can see here i can see
well a younger me not much younger um with a brit award in my hand in the past like so you
get the option to find out whether you've won or not about i don't know if you're supposed to say
this but but the morning of or the night before having one one now it makes me laugh that's an
option because for this one i was more or less sat on the stage they couldn't have put me closer to
the stage whereas in years gone by i couldn't be further from it i was like oh i wonder if
so yes um i didn't need to ask really in hindsight but i did find out because i didn't want to be
completely you know so i'd had a bit of a heads up and therefore you know it's going to be a bit
of a full-on night and what i did which i would recommend to anyone if there's like a big event
is i sacked off party in that night and actually the week following weekend invited everyone that
i love and work with to do it retrospectively you know yeah so everyone could enjoy their night go
and do their things as well yeah on repeat now if you zoom in here um no so that's how
we did it that was a very it was a beautiful night okay the next picture oh yes let's go
ah look at that now this is you on a front row um you're amongst uh like i said paloma faith there
i mean can you tell us about this believe it was with burberry it will have been with burberry
so burberry when i first started releasing music quite incredible really one of the best companies
in the country for young artists was burberry christopher bailey who headed the company was
really concerned with and bothered about young artists and so like i went from like playing in
open mics in bristol to playing these incredible one-off shows and up like in front of the royal
albert hall at catwalks and i ended up going to uh where was it shanghai i remember i packed like a a
hard drive and an external cd drive for my laptop to watch films on the plane it had been so long
since i've been on a plane that i got there well you do know this in flight entertainment
it's magnetic don't worry turbulence won't interfere um so and this is one of these events
where there will have been a show linked in some way i can say now i felt like a bit of a tourist
it was a new world for me i think like the thing about it is i could have lived my whole life not
really thinking much of cat walks and fashion in that way and then you go and realize that whatever
they're doing is very impressive they turn something on that is i certainly don't have what
they've got going on it's amazing it really is let's scroll down to the next one there he is what
have you got i've got me in a looks like a paisley shirt of some description that i don't own anymore
and i should the glastonbury one let's say it is it is i'm looking at a photo from glastonbury um
always july when you find out you're playing if you're lucky enough to play i always like cross
my fingers like please say it's friday please say it's friday because then you can get on
and enjoy the weekend when you're playing sunday it's like oh easy yesterday yeah yeah yeah yeah
truly do you remember that moment you you don't clearly remember that remember not specifically
you're such a huge part of glastonbury which is insane in itself like i am it's my favorite
place in the world oh wow maybe well when i say that like i mean i do like
my house you know like it's my favorite place to visit okay maybe um it's amazing i think you're a
firm favorite there yeah it's just incredible and uh they managed to create something there
that isn't replicated anywhere else yeah it's huge do you want to scroll down to the next picture for
us do you do you remember this moment there i am with the rocks what was it like meeting the rock
he was sound he was so lovely but it's a bit of like how did you end up there because it's not
exactly like we broke america in any way there i am on snl yeah i know me like how did that happen
and then went for dinner with them after and he's like talking to me as if i'm a peer
dude i'm really not oh you are no like it was a complete again tourism did the rock eat loads
of meat was he just a plate full of meat i can't remember like as you can see my memory isn't great
i can't remember what the rock ate for dinner i'm glad we're doing memory lane with you yeah
yeah that whole time in my life was very exciting we were going around america a lot we were lucky
enough to support sam smith and jose on their you know their own headline tours and being a support
act on huge tours is the funnest thing because you play for half an hour a night you're done by half
eight and no one wants anything of you so then you just it's just watch the show yeah or not go out
that was the revive and the last picture there do you remember this one this is from jimmy another
terrible shirt jimmy fallon yeah another terrible shirt yeah what you're getting for me yeah
they're very similar look these shirts aren't they do you know what i do remember that
um i remember it rained all day in new york and i i don't know why but i chose to walk in the rain
deliberately i do just felt really nice that day yeah so i talked about manhattan in the rain make
yourself nice and ill before you went on stage yeah and then that storm was traveling across
the states and we were supposed to be going to i want to say nevada somewhere and uh all the planes
were cancelled and it was a nightmare logistical nightmare ladies and gentlemen but i do remember
that yeah out of all those pictures because that is our last one there which one is your favorite
memory i'm gonna say what glastonbury is the one i remember the least but if it's at glastonbury
that would be my favorite one i can't believe that that's the one out of all of them that you didn't
recognize well i just it because i guess there's nothing that says glastonbury about the photos
and i play a lot of shows we'll forgive you for that one george ezra it's been lovely
to meet you thank you for taking a trip down memory lane with us thank you for having me
you
