I asked to see the list of “Banned Books” in the used book store in Florida. Books such as Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, 1984 and others that had been banned in the US school system. So naturally I bought the Joan Baez autobiography.

Please help to send a message to the BBC that their misguide proposal to cut the Iain Anderson show is a major misstep. A stalwart of broadcasting who introduces new, exciting and emerging artists to new audiences. We can’t lose this.

I cannot begin to explain how deeply disappointed I am to hear that the BBC will be dropping the Iain Anderson show. New, emerging and established musicians have enjoyed the support of Iain’s expertly presented show for years. A misstep. Cultural vandalism.

24 hours. One gig. 12 hours of driving and barely any sleep. Never let online trolls tell you that being a musician isn’t “real work”. Those trolls would never manage to pull this off. Now in sunny Florida and loving it ❤️❤️ BTS at www.instagram.com/iona.fyfe

It’s 4am and I’ve just tucked myself into bed in my (rough) motel. Tonight I had a lovely show in Louisianna. Then drove 6.5 hours (431 miles). I’m burnt out. I feel undercompensated. It’s a hard and exhausting job being a woman touring in the US alone.

So sad to hear of the passing of Archie Fisher. A true folk music hero and inspiration. Rest easy Archie. Thoughts with the family and all who loved Archie and his music. ❤️

Do you remember the Ambrosia ship that ran aground in Peterhead back in 1993?

BBC5Live are making a documentary about the Ambrosia and want to find out as much as possible. They're looking to speak to anyone local who remember the ship.

Comment if you remember the ship!

Happy Hallowe’en 🍁🎃

Violet Jacob (1863-1946) wrote the poem Hallowe’en after the death of her son at the Battle of the Somme. It was published in 1921 in her book ‘Bonnie Joann, and other poems’. Jim Reid set the poem to music.
