Such a lovely evening. Chris Cleverley - what a brilliant musician and thoroughly nice bloke.
The beauty of our Bluebell Roots nights is not just the wonderful music ( thank you @chriscleverley.bsky.social) or the delicious food, it’s the amazing people all brought together through music.

This is the other half of Milton Hide, Josie Tipler, aka Jo Church. It would be so cool to get art demos to tie in with tour dates.
As well as being 50% of Milton Hide, I am a visual artist and currently seeking bookings to give demonstrations and run workshops to Art groups across the UK to tie in with our tours. See website for prices and details.

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Help save nature by rewilding the Church’s massive landholdings!

It’s really hard to be upbeat sometimes. Here’s our song inspired by the book by Auschwitz survivor, Eddi Jaku. In the aftermath he chose to be happy in order to honour those that didn’t survive. youtu.be/33quJtfWhQA?...

A bit late for #worldmenopauseday but here is our song about my experiences and Jim’s mid life crisis.
#menopauseawareness is really important, must be taught in schools. I am still embarrassed that I knew so little about what was happening to my own body.

We spent a pleasant Saturday morning performing outside Tenterden Museum. Small town and village museums are brilliant resources that need to be celebrated.
That’s our final gig in the diary ‘til spring. Now: recording, writing, admin … and recharging

Found a great home for this. A mate is starting a Subbuteo League at a local football club. I’d so love to see some of my old teams out again.
If that doesn’t happen a friend works with foster kids and be good for engaging with parents. I could eBay but it’s not all about money.

I think it’s time to share this video again, our song, Kindness. Featuring wonderful friends and family, some sadly no longer with us.

We’re almost back to 100%. Still coughing but our heads are back in order and we’re able to concentrate on admin, booking 2026 tours etc. A bracing walk up on the South Downs helped.
This is one of Josie’s paintings of a view from the Downs.

The incredible @soundloungecio.bsky.social have been very progressive in their attitude to the recent raising of flags in their area.
Their thanks?
Having every single window of the venue smashed.

Tomorrow’s gig at the Lamb Folk club is postponed for 2 weeks. Still feeling rough so a bit of cat therapy is just the ticket.

Gutted. For the first time ever we’ve had to cancel a gig. Due to illness - we’ve both picked up colds - we’ve had to cancel our performances at the fantastic Bunkfest this weekend. Hoping this brilliantly organised Wallingford festival is a huge success and everyone has a great time. bunkfest.co.uk

Seeing the flag of St George hanging from dozens of Eastbourne’s lampposts makes me feel ashamed to be English - not proud. There’s nothing ‘patriotic’ about these flags. It reminds me of dogs pissing up lampposts claiming territory - that and photos of nazi Germany.

No doubt Ek would argue that these drones would save lives by shortening a war. I’m sure that is his motivation - not profiting from making devices that kill people of course.

Daniel Ek, the CEO of Spotify has invested heavily in a company making war drones.
