While Fran was having a wizened old artisan repair her sewing machine, in his rural hideaway, we went for a mooch about the Herefordshire delight of Shobden. All within a short distance we found lakes, a church, a ruin and an airfield.

Indeed. I did try to grab you once, many moons ago, at that guitar orchestra concert you were playing in, at Birmingham Town Hall, but you went swanning off back to the green room with you showbiz chums.

I’m currently sifting through this tome

Nick Raybould @nickraybould.bsky.social · 6d

Nick Raybould @nickraybould.bsky.social · 6d

Hope it goes well. Sadly I can’t make it to this one, but hope you’ve other exhibitions in the pipeline.

Next time you’re in the neighbourhood give me a warning, eh? I’ll put my boots on and come and find you! Might even invite you over and put the kettle on

There continues to be a lot of recording and mixing work going on for future Thought Bubble releases. The trouble is we seem to have amassed too much for an album alone.

I have a (currently) secret gig in Leek, lined up the end of January.

Hopefully, I remember to return here in order to update this teaser - otherwise it’ll be yet another outdated post about what I’ve been up to a few months ago, again.

It’s probably best to just keep an eye on my Facebook posts

Because I keep forgetting I have an account here, I tend to carpet-bomb Bluesky with a bunch of old news. There’s an album out by Brain Pills, which features me, thrashing away with Adam Stone of Pound Land and #mikevest nickraybould.bandcamp.com/album/goatsh...

A magazine advert for ‘Folding Space’ the new album by Black Tempest. I played on this - and am rather proud. There’s a rave review and a bit of backstory in the current edition of @electronicsound.bsky.social

#manchester about a month ago. I was up there, with my good mate Lazzo to watch the stage production of Graham Duff / Johnny Vegas sitcom ‘Ideal’. Being such a rural creature these days, I am obsessed with architecture

Either fat fingers or, more likely, the dreaded spellchecker changed the publisher’s name. Here, #bolanites is the correct handle:

I keep forgetting that I have this account!
Here’s a drawing and design I did a while back, that’s now getting some traction. If you saw Marc Bolan - or even met the little fella, maybe get in touch with Spendwood Books and contribute a few words for a collection of recollections? #marcbolan

An arduous scramble up the hills above #pistylrhaeadrwaterfall yesterday with my youngest offspring Dan. A pint afterwards felt well earned. #awesomescenery

Some of Harry Collison’s marvellous shots of Dread Lagoon, at this year’s Sonic Rock Solstice weekender! I had the foresight to pack some emergency bongos, so was able to take up their kind invitation to slap some skin with them. Lovely guys.

Nice to see a copy on a turntable, where it belongs. I hope it’s hitting the mark. X
