I'm all booked to go to my first Celtic Connections by happy happenstance, the day job takes me there for the opening weekend whoop! I've got tickets to see Katie Gregson-MacLeod Chris Brain Jenn Butterworth, and TRIP, and the last night to see Martin Simpson.

I'm coming back to Saltburn Folk Festival for a 2nd year.

I loved the festival this year - the perfect blend of top notch musicians like Emily Portman and Martin Simpson - but also the real opportunity to take part in the local pubs - especially with my friends RING OF IRON :-) 🥰🥰🥰

Carolyn Mercer says she has always felt female despite being born male and having lived most of her life as a man. "That treatment wasn't any sort of therapy. It was cruel, barbaric punishments - torture, not therapy."

I got my pre-order copy of Sam Carter's new EP & gave it a listen whilst I was on my drive home.

I was pleased to hear a version of Now Is The Cool Of The Day - shocked to discover I still remembered the words from being in Lester Simpson's choir

It's Bandcamp Friday, where they waive their fees for independent musicians like myself. It would be great to pick up a pre-order of my new EP...

There's something about folk music workshops that gives me the screaming abdabs. Like when they say you don't need to be able to read music - but then they say they will be handing out "sheet music".

I love Bandcamp as a music fan, and as somebody who creates music. But boy, if you leave a year between one release and another. I can see how some of my musical pals have released stuff before they really wanted to - and it feels like you need to do a "bandcamp training" course
