Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

We don't sell that many records but it means a lot to see that the ones we do end up being really appreciated by people. This one is certainly one of the ones I'm really proud of.
I think it’s unlikely my mind will change from the conclusion that this years best new album has been @theatreroyal.bsky.social “a change of weather” I’ve rinsed it. Still having it.

On a Monday night after rehearsal we usually get a message from our guitarist, Rob about good songs he's heard on the @gidcoe.bsky.social & @marcrileydj.bsky.social show whilst driving home. First up last night was this song by The Wave Pictures youtu.be/nXyTxw0NFrI?... Jim Riley on backing vox?

Playing an acoustic set at this William Cuffay Festival, Rochester. A festival of political and industrial education celebrating the Chartist leader. Speakers + debate in the daytime, music in the evening. The brilliant Lewis Pugh is travelling down to play this alongside ourselves and Ant Martin.
