Singer songwriter, sometimes film maker.
This is Spinning Around. A new song that I've only just written. Pleased to say I've started work on a studio version. Exciting times.

Totally agree with this.
85% of music fans agree: new neighbours shouldn’t be able to shut down venues over noise complaints. But a single complaint - often from one flat in a badly soundproofed new build - can lead to venues stopping live music altogether.

Why is our taxpayer's money going to the Royals in so many ways?

Empty Dartmoor prison pays Prince William’s Duchy £1.5m a year & has another 24 years left on its lease

Charities which the Royals are patrons of also pay millions to them in rent

Make it make sense

Dartmoor jail that pays Duchy £1.5m a year may never reopen
Riddled with rats, HMP Dartmoor, which closed in August over toxic gas fears, has 24 years left on its lease

You are not a stranger here. @dannyandthechamps.bsky.social it's just beautiful from the synthy keyboardy layering to the cool yet moody guitar and Bowieish rhythms and vibes. Songs are starting to bed in. Kicking the tyres of life - wow. Great work by @dannythechamp.bsky.social and the champs.

After many generous people sponsored me for over £1,060 last year, I’m going to be pounding the mean streets of Sheppey in February once again to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Any donations - however small - will be very welcome! justgiving.com/fundraising/...

In the words of Ernie Wise "A song wot I wrote". I think Eric would lament the lack of jokes. A Christmas Song from over 15 years ago.Homelessness, hopelessness and and a desire for a greater connection with the world.
