Mid Ayr, the moniker of Brisbane-based singer/songwriter Hugh Middleton, has been a long time in the making. Hugh started writing demos for his new project whilst playing and touring the world with his previous band, The Trouble With Templeton. “I have always had the desire to start my own project so gradually whilst on the road with Templeton I started writing and then I would record the ideas in my bedroom studio. I began playing with drummer Zach Moynihan after an off hand meeting at the Zoo in Brisbane supporting his girlfriend at the time. After a brief chat about influences I knew we were on the same page with our musical aspirations and decided to set up some rehearsals. Zach was also playing drums in Brisbane’s ‘My Own Pet Radio’ and ‘Denpasaar’ and had the idea of asking Alex L’Estrange, who was also playing in both these outfits, to jump in for a rehearsal. We hit it off immediately…”

As well as being an incredibly gifted songwriter and instrumentalist, L’Estrange has quite the knack for production, (and was in fact at the time producing the upcoming side project from Sam Cromack, “My Own Pet Radio”). Alex became more and more involved with the production of the Mid Ayr EP in the months to come.

Hugh popped his first single ‘My Mayhem’, recorded at home by himself, up online earlier this year with no fan fair whatsoever and it was picked up by influential music blogger “Mr Suicide Sheep”, receiving 400,000 listens in a few weeks, now clocking in at over 650,000 views and plays across video and streaming platforms, and received a swathe of incredible reviews, such as… 

“A dreamy, pop rock gem” Indieshuffle
“If you're a sucker for light, acoustic-led pop, you're going to instantly fall in love with this track” Hilly Dilly

The band are excited to be sharing their new single with you, and to be getting out on the road, including shows with “My Own Pet Radio” in October. Their debut EP will be coming out in early 2016.
