There are no Hedge Schools or Arrivalists albums on Spotify. That was a conscious decision I made with myself watching a billionaire funding drone research to kill children. At some point we say a collective no . I consider myself utterly blessed that people still ring the bell of the Bandcamp store

Absolutely YES to this .
On the mornings when the blues are wandering in I stave them off by rewatching this . The mesmerizing joy in Christy Moore's face and in Donal Lunny as they gaze on Liam O'Flynn's genius . It is absolutely gorgeous.

Just saw a job I really liked the look of . A walking for all officer/coordinator for Sligo to encourage and develop community based walking and exploration in the area.
One of the requirements is to wait for it , a drivers licence. 🙄 .

This is my 6th year posting this same message. Black Friday is a nonsense with often pretend discounts on stuff you probably don’t need. We’ll do as we always do at this time and increase the 1% of all income we give to Women’s Aid to 10% on web sales over the weekend. Fuck Black Friday. #speirgorm
