Statement from Childcare RE cancellation: “ Following on from our cancelled shows at SXSW in Austin 🥀 our April tour dates are not going to go ahead because of you know what. We were anticipating a very good time with you, bidding farewell to Wabi-Sabi and our wellness experiment - we were also planning on performing better than ever before. Please go back to your ticket seller/promoter for details on refunds, if you can afford to leave your money with the promoter then that'll support them and the venue during a challenging time for the live music biz. We'll be hosting some Isolation Glory ™ Retreats online, w/c 30th March, more info to come.

We’ll push on, finishing writing our next album, which is simply going to be titled: 'Hope (for mankind and also animals and plants and ghosts if they are real)'“

CHILDCARE would like to invite all those seeking a better life to attend one of their infamous Get Well Soon events at venues across the country this April. The Fare Well Tour will be the last opportunity for participants to achieve Personal Glory™ through positive affirmations, mindfulness meditations and tantric teasing amongst the group’s usual collection of leftfield pop from their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Wabi-Sabi’ released in 2019.

CHILDCARE were formed by Ed Cares, formerly one of west London's most in-demand male nannies. Ed enlisted local musicians Emma Topolski (bass/vocals), Rich Le Gate (guitar) and David Dyson (drums) to complete the group and they performed their first shows together at Reading and Leeds festival in 2016. Their skewed, off-centre, softcore psych has gained them eager fans across the continent, extensive BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music support and wide-spread online coverage from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland, Clash, DIY and Indie shuffle to name but a few.
