After wrapping up harvest on their family properties in WA's Great Southern, David House and Henry Carrington-Jones trade the header for the stage for their band's Australian tour.
abc.net.au/news/old-mervs-celebrate-end-of-harvest-with-national-tour/101863040The end of harvest generally means a well-earned break, but not for one pair of farmers from southern WA.The pair grew up farming in Kojonup before forming the band, which has gained a solid following and a spot on triple j's playlist, during breaks in harvest.
"It's probably good to come in with a country background … because you're a bit more practical about things and you sort of get the job done and nothing's a problem," he said. "Every summer, it'd be nice to sort of at least get two weeks off or three just to go and do harvest, because it's just enjoyable going back to the farm," he said.
