For anyone with tickets to Jonny & The Baptists tonight please see the below statement - a friendly reminder we never know what someone is going through; check in on your loved ones and be kind

"Unfortunately we've had to reschedule our tour show "Dance Like It Never Happened" from Wednesday 13th October 2021 at Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms to Wednesday 25th May 2022.

Paddy (the Baptists) has been suffering terribly this year with his mental health - as so many people have, following the pandemic. It's got a bit worse this week, and he's just not up to doing the job of being funny and charming and brilliant, and needs to concentrate on getting better and taking better care of himself.

Mental health is so important and we didn't want to shy away from this and pretend it was a sore throat or anything like that. We all have tough times and being honest and upfront about them is the best way for us all to get past the fear of stigma associated with mental health issues.

We're looking after Paddy and making sure he's ok, and we'll be back soon to make you laugh and smile and dance (if you dance at our shows that is)

With so much love,

Jonny and Paddy, and all the team"
