Still getting my head around #TikTok, it seems that, to get views, you need to 'stumble across' some drowning pet, rescue them to become a hero, and play your new music in the background! Can't be arsed with all that, so here's the new music anyway! youtu.be/KmmTwEKKWhg?...

What is it with some people that as soon as you follow them back, they jump straight onto #DMs because they mostly want something from you. (Even though it clearly says NO DMs on my profile!) #JustSayin'

What a disgusting way to talk to the president of another country! Bullying and talking over President #Zelenskyy and trying to do a 'business deal', was abhorrent behaviour by #Trump and #Vance. I feel today that WW3 is one step closer and I am disgusted by this. #TrumpOut

Home Town Roads, the first single from our forthcoming album Malibu Highway, drops March 17th. youtu.be/KmmTwEKKWhg?...

This is tragic. He was found dead at his home, along with his wife and dog 📷 R.I.P. Gene Hackman www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cewkkkvkzn9o

The first single from the forthcoming album #MalibuHighway by 𝐓𝐢𝐦 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐠 & 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡, drops on March 14th and is called 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬. An early preview for my friends and followers.... app.landr.com/projects/a7e...

I need YOUR help. I've decided to try and raise funds to launch my own music and media company, see the link below. Please #share and help if you can (No marketeers or Go Fund Me 'experts' please) www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-hal...

@futuristleader.com Thanks for following

I'm seriously considering starting a #GoFundMe for my music & media projects, because nobody seems to want to employ a 67 year old these days! So I'm thinking, I may be better off working for ME! The website is a work in progress, but so many projects with massive potential. www.remotehighway.co.uk

If you love 80s synth pop, like #TheHumanLeague etc. then you are going to LOVE the latest song by Cye Thomas co-written by yours truly, and titled THE WEAVER OF DREAMS. Such a GREAT vocal delivery by Cye. s.disco.ac/jvaqpozhhgcq

I remember 4-5 years ago typical energy bills hit £1200 a year and households were struggling and self-disconnecting then. Now the it’s £1,849 a year for a typical home. Very serious situation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So many legends of soul leaving us in the past couple of weeks. Now #RobertaFlack. R.I.P. dear lady and thank you for the music.

We've remastered our first album Tall Stories on Short Street and it's now been re-released on all good digital download and streaming sites. Our second album #MalibuHighway will drop in the first week of April and we think it's our best work yet! Tim Bragg & Ross Hemsworth

Well worth listening to, albeit rather scary! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0d7q0h8

It's finished - mastered and coming your way VERY soon! #MalibuHighway Please #Share

It seems I have joined the crotchety old buggers club! Not only the damaged knee and the painful arthritis in both hands, but I now have a fitted bath rail to help me get out of the bath! 🤣 (Most days I don't need it, but know I soon might!) #JustAgein'

“Looking back at the 1930s, we used to wonder how it seemed that everybody could see war coming but do nothing to stop it. Now we understand.” @keirgiles.bsky.social writes for the @financialtimes.com on the dangers facing Ukraine and the continent of Europe.

A little taste of what I do.... youtu.be/sW_f0LCFnuE?...

It's Sunday, which of course, should be a day of rest! However, this music junkie will be completing the mastering of the forthcoming album by Tim Bragg and myself today and then completing plans for the April release. #MalibuHighway

12 excellent tracks, at least three potential singles and some big #PR and #radio interviews being scheduled (although #GrahamNortonShow haven't been in touch yet lol!) #MalibuHighway - the second album by Bragg & Hemsworth drops in April.

Just reflecting this morning, on how I went from an affluent businessman 20+ years ago to wondering how the hell I'm going to pay the rent in the coming months where I now live in #Somerset. Life changes, things go wrong, so make sure you have a large savings pot and a private pension!

I'd love to co-write some songs with a few of my songwriting heroes before I die. I've already written in the past with Suzi Quatro (and produced a few tracks for her). Now I'd love to write with #Springsteen, #HueyLewis #MartinMcBride, #DianeWarren & #DaveStewart and more!

Today's #blog for us OLDER rockers! www.linkedin.com/pulse/long-t...

Coming soon! 12 great tracks, radio exclusives available soon. Opportunities for #Brandpartners #Sponsors to benefit from pre-launch publicity and social media campaign. The second album by Bragg & Hemsworth.

Tim Bragg & I are close to releasing our 2nd album, but wouldn't it be great if we had the money & a name artist, who has his/her own recording studio maybe in a chateau in #France, with contacts to get some globally known 'friends', to guest on the album, for album 3 😃 youtu.be/LOaLpiSqQxs?...

I do wish people in the UK could truly understand their #LEFT from the #RIGHT! It was those terrible 'loony lefties', that gave you the NHS, welfare, help for the disabled, council houses, workers rights, but they're all #loony aren't they! Meanwhile - the far right brought you World War 2. #Share

Today, I will mainly be mixing and mastering tracks for the forthcoming album MALIBU HIGHWAY by Tim Bragg & Ross Hemsworth (Our second album together)

Another week of job-hunting ahead! 🤪 I wish I could get a #sponsor for £25k to back my #music business efforts, because alongside my state pension, I could survive on that & just write music for the next 12 months, together with helping my team of co-writers. #JustDreamin' youtu.be/sW_f0LCFnuE?...

@lyndathetrucker.bsky.social Thanks for sharing my post. Much appreciated.

Upping my game in the search for a new job/career right now. #Bristol #Somerset #Remote #Hybride #Media #Music #AudioProduction #PodcastProduction #BusinessDevelopment #RoadTransport info1380.wixsite.com/ross-hemsworth-cv

The REAL #DrainOnTheTaxpayers! Our council here in Somerset now wants to get US to pay, with a 7.5% rise in our council tax! inews.co.uk/news/council...

I agree with Chappell Roan's #Grammys speech about the changes needed in the music industry. If you do too, please share this post. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think what I need right now, is a personal sponsor and patron, so I can live out my twilight years doing what I love most, namely making music! youtu.be/sW_f0LCFnuE?...

#TVProducers and #FactualDevelopment people.... I need a 'partner' to work alongside myself and the proposed format presenter (a global rock/pop icon), to develop and pitch a format initially presented to Radio 4 as a factual series, but now being aimed at #TV commissioners. Who's in?

NEVER - give up on your dreams! Today's blog... www.linkedin.com/pulse/dreams...

Spent this afternoon in the studio remixing and mastering another track for the forthcoming album with Tim Bragg.

And herein is the issue when considering cutting help to pensioners and those in desperate need of benefit assistance.... "At a time when there is no money, how can we spend billions of pounds to give something away?", one senior government source said. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The #music industry needs a total rethink for the new age ahead of us. No more do we want artists picked from TV talent shows, or how many hits they get on social media! Bring back REAL A&R's who go out and find talent at live venues who don't need autotune! #Share if you agree.

#DEPOPULATION - conspiracy theory or frightening FACT? Read my blog today and make your own decision. www.linkedin.com/pulse/depopu...

#MUSIC available for name artists to cover, or for #sync placements in film, TV or ads etc. Contact me now... youtu.be/sW_f0LCFnuE?...

R.I.P. Brian Murphy, a very sad loss. I grew-up watching Man About the House and George and Mildred. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#AcademicSky Do you believe that consciousness survives physical death? A number of top doctors and scientists now believe this to be the case, but science may need to change it's methodology to find the answers. Find out why at thecloseproject.co.uk

#Funding sought for large forthcoming scientific academic research project into the survival of consciousness beyond death. Check out thecloseproject.co.uk

I just wish that people who have skills of 'hacking' would use them for good for once, rather than for bad. You could stop these powerful people in their tracks, take away the power they have over society and actually help the poor. #JustSayin'

Rediscovering #OldHarrysGame by #AndyHamilton on #BBCSounds in recent weeks. Bloody funny & probably some of Hamilton's best work to date. Andy plays #Satan running hell, which just happens to be full of Popes, nuns & other religious types! (The Health and Safety Officer's arrival was hilarious!)

What kind of world do we live in when #Trump becomes President for a 2nd term, despite all he has done, and where #Farage gets more publicity than the larger parties in the UK Parliament? Is there a mainstream media bias supporting the far right? #JustAskin'
