Rest in all the peace Ewen Macintosh. We were lucky enough to have him in one of our videos and we spent the whole time smiling like lunatics and giggling like kids. A beautiful soul x

We're injecting joy into your January nights @absoluteradio . Great suggestion for @Delays_ tonight 'Long Time Coming'. This song soundtracked my formative years, living in Southampton, and the band became great friends. Still sounds so very crystalline https://t.co/802v41cIdu
@AaronDelays as well as being a huge @Delays_ fan I became a keen supporter of @GregDelays artwork. So much so my Mum made this Christmas decoration for me.. so every year Greg and his talent lives on as a part of my Christmas ❤️
Happy Birthday, brother.
Here we are again with a head to mend. There's nothing like a friend to throw you out of time now is there?
I'll be forever thankful that I get to lose myself in pictures of us shouting into the void of wayfarers and microphones...
Sunbleached nights that turned into mornings with ears still ringing out the Fender decibels and strobe lights. Yawning eyelids scribbling new lyrics...
The little ones are wide eyed for Christmas just like we were. Wherever you are.
We're all doing our best to dance around the scorched landscape you left painted in the brightest colours, wrapped up in tinsel and fairylights to celebrate you... Everyone's still listening and more. To centre you, to see you.
We'll find joy that saturates the sadness in the sunshine between the clouds, and do our best to sing and electrify the lines you've left... We'll live for you. Always always.
Merry Christmas, G x
Ps. I hope you're all doing as ok as possible out there... I know lots of you are fighting silent battles of your own and having to pretend a lot, which can weigh so heavy. I'm proud of you.
So let's fake it until we feel it and hold hands across the winter skies... There's so much to look forward to yet I promise x
I will forever be thunderstruck that the songs we wrote in bedrooms, fields and garages get to play a part in the soundtrack to other people's days... 323 thousand listeners spreading our melodies across the globe. Thank you beyond measure for letting our music know that it exists. We made every cadence to lose ourselves in when we were lost. I hope every refrain feels like a hug when you need it most...
I discovered the first ever Hideaway demo the other midnight and Greg's voice is all the soaring electric and alive. Tearing through youthful seams... I'll try and get it up over the next few days. I hope you're all doing as ok as possible out there x
