Juliet Turner is an amazing Irish singer-songwriter. I co-wrote and produced her new record, now on Bandcamp. julietturner.bandcamp.com/album/home-f....

I also made a web app as an antidote to the soulless horror of Spotify: julietturner.music - a modern day liner notes experience.

Enjoy ♥️♥️♥️

I’ll never forget last night. Michael Sheen reads Dylan Thomas and R.S. Thomas, while I respond in the gaps with songs that try to empathise with the haunting words of Wales’s beloved poets.. as recited by one of its greatest actors. Thanks to Michael for the depth of his creativity and kindness.

Home after a wonderful run of shows on West Coast USA and at the unique and beautiful Sisters Folk Festival.
It’s good to be reminded of the best that is America and hopefully to have encouraged some of the faithful in their struggle against
this current administration’s bewildering madness.

Home after a quick weekend visit to Canada to play the mighty Edmonton Folk Fest. It was my fourth time there and it continues to be the best run festival I’ve played at. Highlight for me was meeting and watching the amazing John Butler..but so many great artists and was honouring to be amongst them

Excited to be back in Canada for my fourth appearance at the wonderful Edmonton Folk Festival. Proud to be amongst this great list of musicians.

A huge shout out of gratitude to the @deaconbluemusic.bsky.social for making me feel so welcome as the opener on their UK tour. It was a huge amount of fun and a joy to join them on stage for their encore in London.

Euro tour rumbling on both in Germany and the Netherlands. So love playing here. The history, rich connection and warmth of the welcome of the people. Each night is a reminder of the greater good despite the weight of these desperate days. Thanks Wilco for pics 🙂
