Saw the very wonderful Withered Hand playing at the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh tonight. Absolutely marvellous in so many ways. ❤️

I’m not a fan of tribute bands, but I’ll make an exception for Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy playing REM. They were very good.

Heron having a nap in the tree, while doubtless keeping one eye on the stream for a possible bedtime snack. The bucolic joys of Stockbridge in middle of Edinburgh.

A first for me, I think. A ‘breakfast’ stout, ‘Broken Dream’ from Siren Craft Brewery. Hefty at 6.5 ABV but tasty AF.

This is, by a considerable distance, the prettiest space I’ve ever recorded music in. It’s just a lovely place to be working in. With an even lovelier producer at the desk. 🙂

And very delicious and uncharacteristically healthy studio lunch served too. Countryside recording rules.

I’m luckier than many. As long as I don’t do too much I’m okay-ish. If I cross the line I get a real crash and have to start building up again. Frankly, it’s boring AF. Happily, I can still walk as far as several local pubs and enjoy an occasional beer. Right now, it’s West Coast IPA from Pilot.

First night of our wee tour was fab. The Old Forge in Kettering is a superb little venue: great audience, lovely people and friends who travelled a fair old distance to come along. Much fun was had. Cheerfully onwards!

Highly recommend the Ashford Arms in Ashford in the Water for a pint too. Just a short walk to the Thornbridge Tap Room, tomorrow’s destination.

We’re playing at the wonderful Green Note in Camden on 21st of May. It would be most excellent if you could come along. @greennote.bsky.social

If you happen to be around #kettering this week, come along to the excellent Old Forge for some indie-folk/Americana in fab surroundings.

These lovely people recently added us to their festival and we’re really looking forward to playing there. Saved us from a mid-tour hiatus and that’s an excellent thing. The whole event looks fabulous so you should come along if you possibly can.

Wasn’t sure Aly was going to be able to make all these dates so he wasn’t on the original poster… BUT HE CAN! He’s my pal, so obviously this makes me very happy. The pic in this version is us doing our thing in a local record shop.

Now with added hashtag because I’m a numpty (Scottish word but you’ll get the idea)… #BandcampFriday looms large and there are recording bills to pay for the new(ish) forthcoming EP. So it’s shameless self promotion o’clock. boulderfields.bandcamp.com/album/with-a...

Emergency pint of Pilot IPA. Got bitten by an overexcited two year old earlier today. Took about 20 minutes to wrangle an apology out of the wee bugger. Had to turn the radiator up to almost full before he cracked. All good. 🙂
