a year ago… #Aotearoa

Sunday afternoon stroll in my neighbourhood 💙

Thinking of my Australian matriarchs today on Mother’s Day (Auz)…my maternal grandmother, Iris, was an amazing seamstress and millner. I’m sure she’d love this creation by Nikole Tursi, made for the “A Requiem” tour🖤

Found myself doing a bunch of google translate of Dutch comments on footage from #RoadburnFestival... heheh. Standout word: prachtig = beautiful Bedankt to those in the audience!!!!

Thanks for joining us Cath! ✨♥️✨

if you don't already, I highly recommend spending a few minutes with Patti Smith on her substack. "peace be with you" pattismith.substack.com/p/peace-be-w...

always good to delve deep into First Floor newsletter by Shawn Reynaldo... big thx S for encouraging folks to read my 'track by track' @theransomnote.com so they can decipher the "witchy mystery" of A Requiem 🖤 #WitchSky #PaganSky

3 years ago I was immersed in my 2 week residency in Aldeburgh, Suffolk… this journey became “Heavenly Spheres” and the birth of my label, Nite Hive❤️

Q: Can sound change the world? A: …music IS a kind of gathering of community, where we can all feel connected to something infinite… 15questions.net/interview/pe...

Eternal Grattitude for how well A REQUIEM has been received in the world! Thankful each day that I get the opportunity to create, release, and perform music. Much love @olirecords.bsky.social and everyone along the long road who has helped me get to this point.

5 years ago I moved to Brighton. Having lived in so many places around the world, the decision was hard & profound. I felt a gravitational pull like no other to Brighton from the 1st time I was ever here through the magnetism of the moody sea as well as the surrounding beauty of the South Downs.

Thank you @elizabethalker.bsky.social for your super kind words last night about 'A Requiem', on BBC3 Radio's 'Unclassified' listen back via @bbcsounds.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

channeling radical joy / love and conjuring up our ancestral matriarchs… to give us all the strength and love and power to birth a new world full of compassion and peace. Thank you Brighton for a beautiful hometown show last night! #pagansky #witchsky

Best radio show around!!!!✨🖤✨

Someone said in the comments on bandcamp that they weren't prepared how good this album was. I second that. Thanks to @penelopetrappes.bsky.social for bringing it to my attention. djrum.bandcamp.com/album/under-...

I love Hannah and night tracks

big love and many thanks @hannahpeel.bsky.social for playing 'A Requiem' last night on BBC3 Night Tracks. @bbcsounds.bsky.social

"Some art...carries a weight of meaning to the artist and the world that makes the world shift a little, whether the world notices it or not.... The pain is writ large here, but it is also a balm, an ageless lament for the post-industrial horrors of womanhood." thx MK! @louderthanwar.bsky.social

Back in Brighton for hometown incarnation of ‘A Requiem’ the run of shows I’ve been doing with my band have been transformative and deeply enriching. Sharing this wild experience with audiences has been a gift from the heavens! Hope to see you all FRIDAY.

summoning… Thank you Daisy Duende for capturing the energy of Edinburgh’s show on Saturday night @thequeenshall.bsky.social

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

I’m beyond thrilled to announce that I will be playing Supersonic this year! Together we can commune and rage with the current rising energies with all of our radical joy. Enormous thanks Lisa for entrusting me… absolutely magical curation, as always.

🚨 LINE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 We’re thrilled to welcome these phenomenal additions to Supersonic Festival 2025: Abdullah Miniawy, Aya, Big Special, Jackie-O Motherfucker, @penelopetrappes.bsky.social, Rún, @sklossduo.bsky.social, and Six Organs of Admittance 💥

Edinburgh was so magical! Bringing ‘A Requiem’ home to be performed live on the land on which it was created was extra special! Thankyou to the amazing audience for all the Scottish love in the room! And to SHHE, fellow label mate and talented/amazing human, whose set was phenomenal!

Solidarity with all trans, non-binary & intersex people facing the harsh and ill-considered guidance issued by the EHRC. It’s full of holes & has clearly been written without input from trans people. I will push for this to be withdrawn until thought-out guidance can be produced.

Trans rights are human rights, today and everyday.

✨🖤✨

A wonderful, evocative evening spent in the company of the magical @penelopetrappes.bsky.social in Edinburgh.

✨🖤✨

Showtime! Queen Hall, Edinburgh

Such a nice event and beautiful audience. Thanx @penelopetrappes.bsky.social and @greylanternmcr.bsky.social for the kind support

it really is an honour & a privilege to tour. I’m grateful for these opportunities to commune with folks & to share ‘A Requiem’ live. See you tonight Edinburgh @thequeenshall.bsky.social Pic from last night in Manchester by @agneshaus.bsky.social Thx @greylanternmcr.bsky.social for having me!
