This Saturday at the Samuel Worth Chapel, Sheffield I'm playing a set as part of the Back to the Bones Festival event to raise funds to restart the Sharrow Festival.
Protest songs, Music Hall, ragtime banjo and more!
It's a great line up of local talent and I'm on at 7:15.
Free admission too.

Thanks to everyone (and there were loads of you) who came to see Charlotte and I play the Samuel Worth Chapel here in Sheffield last night.
They say a gig is only ever as good as it audience and we had a fantastic bunch last night.
I'll be back on July 12th as part of the Sharrow Festival.

Angry anti racists confront the knuckle daggers of the so called Great National Strike in Sheffield. One strike I was glad to see broken.

No matter how many times you try to get rid of us
Or try to pick us apart,
We always come back and grow taller
And more beautiful."

I haven't looked forward to the arrival of a new book this much in ages.
Story of a Murder by @hallierubenhold.bsky.social About Dr Crippen and the women around him.
If this book is half as good as The Five it will be totally compelling and will give a voice to people denied it for a century.

From the workbench in the back room
To the cradle by the side of the bed
From the mad mothers to the peace campers
Who are these seeing red?
These are Rosas lovely daughters
These are no mans blushing bride,
These are Rosas lovely daughters
And they will not be denied.
