Vance Joy reminisces about playing mixed netball with Nova 100’s Lauren Phillips

This morning on Nova 100’s Jase & Lauren, Aussie musician Vance Joy joined the team to reminisce about the time he played mixed netball with Lauren Phillips and his memorable encounter with Ed Sheeran.

Lauren: I don’t know if you remember this, but once upon a time, we played in a mixed netball team together. You filled in on my team … it was all my uni mates. And you were realy good!

Vance: Yes, yes, yes… I got a bit white line fever, potentially, especially playing mixed netball, it’s like an even more it’s like, wow, I get to play with all these cute girls.

Lauren: Do you [and Ed Sheeran] have much to do with each other? Because he’s a great bloke.

Vance: He’s a great guy. And just watching his show, I just keep kind of loving more and more, what he kind of stands for, and all the things he does outside of music, beyond just making music that everyone loves. It’s like he has made music approachable for so many kids in England and we had a nice encounter. Actually, the first show in Auckland. I walked out into the hallway. We had a very nice spontaneous meeting, which is exactly what you want, like, I don’t want to be told I’m meeting Ed Sheeran in 10 minutes.

Jase & Lauren can be heard from 6am to 9am on Nova 100 in Melbourne. Listeners can stream the show live or catch up with the daily podcast by downloading the Nova Player.
