James Johnston on Touring the UK, Writing Music & the Marmite vs Vegemite Debate
On this episode of The MarshyCast, I’m joined by Australian country star James Johnston while he’s in the UK ahead of his return this summer to perform at the Country Calling Festival and other shows.
James talks about the success he’s been enjoying back home in Australia, including recent award nominations and the response to his single One More. We also get into his songwriting process and how personal stories and experiences shape the music he creates.
While visiting the UK, James shares his thoughts on British weather and what it’s like bringing Australian country music to new audiences.
And because no cultural exchange is complete without a food debate, we tackle the classic question: Marmite or Vegemite? James even shares the story of a prank he once played on an American radio presenter involving the famous Australian spread.
It’s a fun, relaxed conversation about music, touring, songwriting and a few cultural differences along the way.
