The person who lived here before us decorated the downstairs bathroom in a very quirky way. I’m so reluctant to change it but it’s really not aging well. Might need to hit some charity shops to get some more sheet music.

Drinking mince pie flavoured tea in May. Think that’s a win.

How’s anyone doing today? I’ll literally take any interaction please :)

Having a studio clear up at 2.50am - that means music is being made tomorrow.

Let's talk about Spotify for a second. I released a song last month. My first in nearly 4 years. I have 2300 followers on Spotify and before the release I had about 350 monthly listeners. I had about 50 listeners a day. I have one song over 100,000 streams, a couple are getting close to that.

Off to Newcastle. 5 hour drive to play some of my songs for people. Life is good :) If you’re in Newcastle and you’d like to be one of those people: davejgiles.com/event/597799... It’s pay what you can…. 👌 or completely free if you want

The Handmaid’s Tale is back and it’s like it never went away…

Looking For A ~ @davejgiles.bsky.social Have a listen to this fab new song, here or wherever you stream your music.. open.spotify.com/album/2QMWOF...

I’m being really shameless today. I’ve turned 40, and to celebrate I’ve released my first new song in 4 years… please help my celebrate my milestone by listening to this song - maybe add it to a playlist or drop the link in all your WhatsApp/Signal group chats. open.spotify.com/track/42c1Qv...

Planned action! Protest planned at parliament square on Saturday at 1pm to protest supreme court ruling.

Just had a beaut of a rehearsal for my gig tomorrow. It’s such a great feeling knowing I’ll be out playing my own songs for a change, thrilled to have more gigs around the country planned for the next few months too. Must add to that list!

In a world of Matts, be a Derek.

Good news everyone. According to my latest blood test, I have 1% chance of heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years. That’s consider low risk by the NHS. Feeling good.

In 1978 NASA selected a new class of astronauts, the most diverse in the agency’s history. This is their story. #16Sunsets podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

Heading into London to go to a night of celebration of the music of David Crosby at the Barbican with my mum, dad and brother. Mum and Dad took us to see Crosby, Stills and Nash when I was just 6 years old. Gonna be emotional I think. open.spotify.com/track/0O87QQ...

A new episode of @16sunsets.bsky.social on the Space Shuttle is out. BIG speakers recommended for this one. pod.link/1771470820 "Anatomy of a Firecracker" contains engineers making seemingly impossible things, and @christianlundberg.bsky.social "having it large" 🚀😀🎶

An astonishing exploration of the reality of ‘DEI’ in this excellent @drkevinfong.bsky.social podcast about 1970s NASA. The testimony from older male astronauts on how female excellence changed their minds is memorable. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

Ep 4 #16Sunsets New Frontiers. Worth a listen on this day more than most. #NASA has always pushed back boundaries in space & here on Earth. In 1978 it selected the Thirty Five New Guys, at the time the most diverse astronaut class in its history. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

My first Blue Sky post goes to this… Mastering the upcoming @davejgiles.bsky.social album in Abbey Road yesterday with Geoff Pesche. This album is finally looking like it’s coming out this year!

My friend sent me this song he co-wrote, and it blew me away: open.spotify.com/album/0fuR55...

An early Christmas present. #16Sunsets Episode 4: New Frontiers. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

New ep of the #16Sunsets pod now available. Great stories and moving moments in this one on the first women & people of colour hired as astronauts for the #shuttle program. Lovely work by @drkevinfong.bsky.social, @davejgiles.bsky.social, Rami Tzabar & @richardcourtice.bsky.social bit.ly/3VO4uMQ
