What I appreciate most about the City is that amongst towering new buildings there are still human-scale streets and green spaces. In Bunhill Fields, mature trees created a canopy muffling, the sounds from City Road, birds were singing and there was a sense of calm. William Blake is buried here.

In some of the pubs at the Fishguard Folk Festival the sessions begin at 12 and carry on into the evening with different musicians leading two hour slots so the genres shift throughout the day but it’s possible to stay for hours and play. Musicians of all levels join in.

That sounds a lot of fun. I’m glad your Dad got to join in too. It sounds a bit like what was going on at #FishguardFolkFestival last Sunday. Love live sessions!

Here’s a couple of photos from the Birmingham gig @bmusicltd.bsky.social was a great venue . Looking forward to Cardiff.
