Smiles. I love it when I come home, Owa Mam she’s still calls me, pet…

Today’s sermon will be about the power of Abstinence and the evils of demon drink 🍺🍻
A not so swift but leisurely pint in the chapel before RING OF IRON folk club. Decidedly spokey & scary song is planned!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
Well the final strings are in… the final mix… just taking a breath before it goes to master… there’s still a video, cd cover & production to do!

A December release seems unlikely but I do have Xmas single ready for the No1 slot on “Top of the Pops” - eat you heart out Wham! 😛🤪😝😜

Thanks to @nfsengland.bsky.social for inviting me to write something about the recent @efdss.bsky.social Black British Folk Takeover I was honoured to curate. You can read it below if you like 🙏🏾🖤
The Black British Folk Takeover at @efdss.bsky.social was curated by @angelcakepie2.bsky.social. It sounded right up our street so we asked her to tell us a little more. You can read all about it here: www.nationalfolkloresurvey.co.uk/news/the-bla...

This week, The Compendium is more acoustically than progressively themed, with the usual blend of the old and the new. Tune in at 8pm (UK) on Wednesday www.folkfridayradio.com
I'm loving Jim Ghedi little ration book of poetry - cutely produced it would fit in your purse. Not read them all, but I'm already thinking, could I turn them into songs... :-p
I could have done with more time at the thereedorganworkshop.co.uk - I took my newly acquired Billhorn Telescopic Harmonium for some mucked TLC. Carl was super helpful & knowledgeable taking me thru how these instruments work & demos of their awesome sounds.
Friday night at “Live at Sam’s” - Where’s else can you pull up an armchair & feel like your at home at private performance - these two fill my little heart with joy which is no mean feet - thanks to Christina Alden & Alex Patterson for coming to Sheffield

Oh wow! I’ve just been followed by Johnny Marr - I had no idea he was living in Nigeria and was so hard up his sick mother can’t afford her medicine. 💊 being the generous person I am I emptied my bank account via Wells Farage,

Every little helps ❤️‍🩹
Dusting off some old songs. Songs I’d kind of written off a steaming pile of doggy doo - what’s nice is rediscovering them again - and being kinder to them and in away kinder oneself ♥️

“I'm at sea again and now your hurricane
Have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship's a-sail, can you hear its tender frame?
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves”

During my travels across hyper-text-uality I came across this video of Lucy Farrell I'd not seen before - 9 years ago. And for those who follow this - she's sporting a bob haircut!

Mind blown...
