Next week I am taking part in the summer gathering of the ‘Folk Who Roam’ documentary project; expect songs, stories and lots of tunes.
You can find out more about them via https://www.folkwhoroam.co.uk/ and reserve a free ticket from here.
🌱 Just getting back up to speed with computers after playing at the super Landworkers’ Alliance album launch-fest gig in Abergavenny.
Please support this wonderful organisation and buy a copy of this album, so brilliantly curated by Sid Goldsmith and Humphrey Lloyd, which is chock full of protest tunes (inc a reworking of my track The Ballad of Hawkwood)

…or you can listen on Spotify….but what good would that do anyone?
I made a little playlist of some of my instrumental tracks for a film making friend to graze recently. Thought I’d pop it here just in case anyone else fancies a listen.
The more observant of you will have noticed a slow down in my creative output since things took off with Three Acres And A Cow.
I’m looking forward to redressing the balance this year and here is the first fruits of that; a recording of ‘Woodman, Spare That Tree’ which will be on my forthcoming album ‘From The Ground Up’.
I am going to ease myself musically into the new year with a gig in Walthamstow on Thursday 19th January at The Hornbeam, my local community centre. A place brimming with excellent people, tasty seasonal locally grown food, ale, cake and art.
The plan is to do an early set for young families and then a second one later for everyone else. I think Basia and Caitlin are free which means violin and accordion. If anyone could nudge Candy to see if she can come and sing, I’d be grateful!
5.30-6.30pm kids’ kitchen family food time
6.30-7.30pm music family friendly set
8.30-9.30pm music 2nd set for grown ups!
After all the excitement of the last few weeks three chord political punkelele madness, here is a little something to reminding myself and the world that I have subtler days too…
