I’m a stubbornly independent progressive folk musician whose songs focus on social and political injustice, concern for our environment, family, love and life…because I’m actually a human being.

I hate the shit that's happening in this world, and I do my bit to try and stem the flow.

Peace Lives.

Music has been my life. I've created it, promoted it, and supported other artists by playing some of their songs on The Compendium (8pm UK Weds on www.folkfridayradio.com). There's more great music out there than I'll ever buy. No harm trying. #BandcampFriday 😎

For lovers of folk music, if you do nothing else this #BandcampFriday pick up a copy of Dick Gaughan Live at the BBC 1972-1979. It's stunning.

Many people talk the talk.

But who walks the walk?

Is #protest against dehumanising AI, authoritarian creep, the injustuce and lies of politics, or the hate of bigotry really all we deserve?

This group of artists still have a voice. And it can't be muted.

This #bandcampfriday support us.

I'm glad to be part of a collaborative project to raise funds to help combat multiple injustices in this sad world of ours. Just like the Peace For Ukraine project in 2022, none of the artists makes a cent out of this. Please lend your support.
