Gelukkig nieuwjaar! Graag deel ik hier 1 van mijn voornemens. Wie doet mee?
@decorrespondent.nl maakte begin vorig jaar een goede beslissing… Waar blijven @partijvoordedieren.nl en @azgnl.bsky.social nu? Ik heb mijn donaties opgezegd tot zij ook x de rug toekeren.

A brief background story about Francesco Marcheselli and how that gorgeous #oboe tune came about... Can't wait to put it on #vinyl next year!

It's almost the longest night of the year, and this part of a gorgeous tune I wrote featuring an #oboe seems particularly fitting for #MusicSky

Wait Out the Storm (teaser)
Featuring the amazing blues oboist Francesco Marcheselli, this song has the most complex texture of all Marc's songs so far. The full song with all the vocals will be available on the album High Tide

I’m now free of #facebook and #instagram and already look forward to a productive day on 16 December 2025 - without sponsored shit and/or political division.

I'm so pleased that Bandzoogle - which powers my musician website - has added the @bsky.app logo to the list of pages one can link to from the homepage! Thanks!

I started a countdown for leaving Meta a couple of days ago. Are you still on Facebook or Instagram? Wanna join the exodus?

I had such an amazing gig with Scrapheap at Tivoli in Utrecht! Even though half the band was initially stuck on a train that had hit a tree, they got to the venue just in time and we all played a great set filled with songs I’ve written over the years. Thanks band!

I've just made this jpg to post on #Instagram and #Facebook after posting something on Bluesky. I hope it'll help make the #socialmediatransition quicker. Feel free to copy and use it!

As a musician, I thought it'd be nice to put the creative mind behind my recent visuals in the limelight... Emphasising how different art forms enhance each other!

So good to see that the concept of #playlist isn’t the monopoly of one streaming platform only. Yay for #bandcamp and other #independent minded places!
I was surprised to realise that I've released 11 Lincolnshire Voices tracks to date.

More coming in the New Year...

Anyway, here's a handy playlist with them all in one place if you fancy it.

I’m making this song public just for a few days as I’ll be playing it at my gig at @tivolivredenburg.bsky.social this Sunday!
Tango Till They're Sore
Marc’s cover of a Tom Waits favourite. The clarinet, trombone and viola add a bit of a New Orleans vibe.

First time ever I performed this song with just #vocals and #guitar. I wrote #PrayforRain out of frustration at #polarisation in general and at the #genocide in #Gaza.

My new folk-rock single "Falcon Head" (with analogue-only instruments including a #trombone, #accordion, #flute and #violin) can be heard on #SoundCloud, #Bandcamp and other decent platforms #MusicSky
Falcon Head
Falcon Head is a folk-rock ode to seafarers. It has a full sound, with wind instruments suggesting the force of the ocean, and with backing vocals echoing through the chorus.

Got the most exciting gig of my life coming up. Original material and a 4-strong backing band, in Tivoli, Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Tried to release a single, ended up joining Bandcamp, resurrecting my SoundCloud and building a website to connect them to my Facebook following: marcgovan.net - comments welcome!
