When my age you are, look this good you will not. For 900 hundred years (well only since 1993, but it feels like a long time ago...) I have been training students in the Art of performance.

Today's thought for the day: which subject is the hardest, maths, languages or music?

Gig reminder!

To hear the F word that I would use to describe Bryan Ginge Duncan be at the Blue Lamp (Upstairs) on 6th April. I'm opening for Northern Flites. Bryan's own songs are warm, open and giving. He's a really special man and a fantastic songwriter.

I received some lovely feedback about this single:

I'm preparing my next single for release.

It would be fun to hear you singing along. I'm on Spotify, You Tube and a bunch of other platforms that my distributor has pitched. Here is my soundcloud link.

Please listen and then come to the Gig on the 6th of April, upstairs, at The Blue Lamp.

My first single has been successfully released! I love that.
Leading up to the gig on the 6th of April - The Blue Lamp - I'll release more.

For those asking, the 'hoolie' in 'blowing a hoolie' may come from the Orkney Scots 'hoolan', a strong gale, influenced by the Irish use of 'hooley' for a very noisy party.

Looking for a quote on the culture of teacher/student interactions, I saw this:

Interesting research into children accelerating through stimulation. #improvingteaching , #educationalresearch , #pedagogy .

The Pandemic taught me that music is there for 'breakout' i.e. it is ubiquitous because we need to be diverted from stress. I'm curious about public engagement. Please listen to this piece and tell me your thoughts: youtu.be/PCx3WPxaWcY?si…

Bandcamp Friday. I've been uploading. My songs are at:

I have uploaded my Set at Krakatoa. I'll time stamp the song titles and cut it into videos of each song. If you'd like to hear the whole Set, it's here:

This is the kind of musician who inspired my teaching.

This is one reason that he was so inspiring.

One day your name will be in lights saying,
'Robin Thornton - plays Krakatoa - tonight!'

Great day at The Barn, for the Plenty festival. Great Sets from Scott Bryce. Thank you all for coming. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'll be on stage at 12:15 and again at 14:00. I look forward to seeing you all there.

Today's the day!
I've worked hard for this and it would be great to see you there.
I'm on stage at 12:15 and 14:00, different songs in each Set.

Played 'I seek shelter' for the first time, last night. Someone said they liked its bouncy sound, I said, 'Read the lyrics'. Plenty? festival is this weekend. Listen, come, sing along. Look forward to seeing you.
