I painted that picture of Jim 26 years ago, from a photo taken when he was 19. It’s now on the wall of his new studio where he practices guitar 😁

Our first gig of 2026 is this coming Saturday, 17 Jan, at The Albion in Hastings (UK). It’s an afternoon gig, 4pm, in the Seafront bar. We’ll be rolling out a new song and a new tune! 😁

We’ve had some beautiful walks lately. Feeling chilled and refreshed at the same time, ready to plunge back into the business of making music 🙂🎶

We have been overwhelmed with the number of people downloading our music since our last post. Thank you so much for your support! It’s just the boost needed to keep on writing songs 😁❤️

To coincide with @bandcamp.com Friday we released Forgetting To Live. A song about our over reliance on Social Media. (We do get the irony by the way ;-)

Feeling festive after tree decorating with help from a 2 year old and showing him twinkly lights on the way home. Ready for our festive Bluebell Roots gig on Sunday.

On Friday, Milton Hide moved back to our spiritual home of Hastings, after being away for 35 years! This morning we wandered down to the old town, said ´hello’ to loads of people and breathed in the sea air😁❤️

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.
Next event 7Dec, bluebellroots.co.uk

Gorgeous stuff. We have a garden bench covered in it and I don’t want to scrape it off!
