It isn't often my two interests of theme parks and folk music meet, but I wrote two tunes on a vaguely rollercoaster-y theme! "Last Ride of a Legend" in tribute to recently closed much loved rides, and "Trick-Track Double-Up" named after the RMC element! youtu.be/KR0hqMjBLeY #folkmusic #accordion

At the Midlothian Snowsports Centre near Edinburgh to try out my first ever alpine coaster! As everyone says about these newer models the auto brakes are a bit of a bummer, but still good fun with incredible views over the city to Arthur’s Seat and even the Forth Bridges!

- Be me with massive time management issues
- Have ticket for @dropout.tv improv in Manchester (UK) dated June 4th, fully under the impression it's tomorrow
- Double check ticket for doors opening time
- It says "Thurs 4th June", confused as 4th is a Wednesday
- Finally notice it's in 2026 🤦

Absolutely gutted that I never got to visit Oakwood. It was high on my list to try and visit in the near future and Megafobia was a bucket list coaster 😢 Just goes to show you can't take these places for granted and must make the most of them while you can.

My office for today as panto MD - Opening matinee of Jack and the Beanstalk complete! Ohhh yes it is!

Fabulous evening with @bellowhead.bsky.social and @thelongestjohns.bsky.social in Manchester the other night including meeting the latter!

Gutted that I'll now never get to ride one of the big hydraulic launch + top hat strata coasters, but hey at least I can now say I've ridden the tallest operating coaster in the world 😅

Hey there! I do music things mainly of the folk, rock or soundtrack variety, theatre things, and geek out over rollercoasters and theme parks. Migrating over from The Bad Place, so just say hi if you know me from there 😎
