So grateful for lovely friends letting me stay at their beautiful home while I’m on tour. I needed some quiet time and snuggles from the gorgeous Roxy before the last gig tonight.

Hello you! I have a free album for you!

Before heading out on my first support tour in SIX YEARS I warmed up my set with a livestream from my attic. 8 songs + silliness.
Pay what you can if free isn’t right for you ❤️

On my way to London to play tonight, I have stopped off at a very nice village farm shop in Northamptonshire. It’s warm and inviting here, buzzy with chat.
I’ve never heard the words “Market Harborough” repeated so many times in such a short space of time. People love discussing that town in here!

I'm off on tour today for 7 shows supporting the brilliant @theagilmore.bsky.social !
So of course I've just made a big list of music and video projects my hilarious brain thinks are possible to complete while I'm away. Should I chuck 5 novels in my car too, just in case I run out of things to do?

It all started from a phrase scrawled on a green door…
I shared the third track in my monthly song club today.
It’s about astral projection, neglecting our bodies in favour for life online, parasites and fungal spores.

Morning all.
I released an album today, I’d love you to check it out.
It’s called “Certain Stories” - 12
sad songs with glimmers of hope sprinkled throughout. An “it’s cold outside, but the heating is on” record.
Here are some links to stream it: lastnightfromglasgow.lnk.to/certainstories

Today I returned to the UK from a very nice week's holiday with my beau. While away I chose to stay off all social media and apps except Maps.
I really needed a rest.
AMAZINGLY I am writing with a calmer, clearer mind. I also missed precisely zero important messages/posts.
