If you’re in the East Sussex area, it would be great to see you over the weekend. My @miltonhide.bsky.social bandmate (and wife!) Jo Church is showing dozens of paintings. If you like one, pay what you can afford. Www.pickhams.com What’s more, 50% of takings go to the amazing @msf.ca

This rather wonderful supporter and long time promoter of folk/roots music and artists could do with a little help. Why not pop some into the pot. He’s halfway there already! www.gofundme.com/f/upgrade-th...

Any recommendations of places to play? We'd love to pitch up and play at some folk clubs and open mics while we're on tour in #Devon, #Dorset, #Cornwall and #Somerset. And do some busking. #folkmusicians #folkgigs #openmic #musicsky #busking

Do please have a listen. Really enjoyed doing this episode, particularly the interviews recorded at Rochester Sweep’s Festival and Hastings Jack In The Green. Apologies to my friend Mick who I kept calling Keith for some inexplicable reason!

Got home about 1:10 this morning after a lovely gig at @runnymedefolkclub.bsky.social and listened to a nightingale serenading us in the garden. A fitting end to a wonderful evening.
