Happy album release day Allison Russell!! We’ve got it on repeat today. A beautiful and powerful journey in song. ✨

Here are our four events in June looking at abuse and harassment in the sector. We have been consulting with many people working in music - of different ages, genders, abilities, backgrounds, identities and ethnicities to find out what is important to ask and think about.

One of my MA students is researching equality on the music festival stage. Whether you're a female performer or someone (any gender) who likes to attend music festivals, please take 2mins to respond to the survey, and/or RT! northumbria.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/festivalinequa…

I’m really looking forward to seeing this documentary. In the next few hours could you chip in a few quid? @YesterdaySince kickstarter.com/projects/since…

I think it’s a really important subject as the music industry is still miles from having anything close to gender balance. I hope this film will inspire girls (like my daughter) to start their own bands and make brilliant music! @YesterdaySince

Tomorrow! Join us for #TheFolkEffect film premiere, featuring 6 brand-new songs by Ríoghnach Connolly, Kate Young, Ellie Gowers, Lisa A Knapp, Gwilym Bowen Rhys and Jackie Oates! Tune in at 7pm BST on our Facebook page or YouTube channel. Thanks to support from Arts Council England.

This has made me feel much better! Our #LittleFreeLibrary is open 📚 Soon to be decorated (ideas welcome) and to include seed/plant swaps. Local peeps-donate your unwanted books or exchange them for whatever is inside! #London #Community #BookExchange

It's only a week until our next meeting! Come & join us on 20th July at 8pm, we'll be joined by Jennie from Folky Union of Women, to tell us about their fantastic work on creating a safe space to celebrate & support female folkies and their allies. forms.gle/SUGUh1g9pnQPKt…

Heart is breaking all over again for UK festivals, events, venues & music folk I can see slowly slipping under. The industry is by no means out of deep water yet, and I don't think it will be for a significant time to come. Please support it in any way you are able 💚

I've been listening to this piece on repeat since 5:35pm and it's been giving me life 🥰 youtu.be/SHAc_8fXbWo

In desperate need of Avid Pro Tools help! New sub, using iLok cloud, PT license not appearing in iLok manager. This is really testing my patience... I just want to get on with my work. Can anyone help?

Latest Review: Springtime In New York proves beyond doubt that Bob Dylan, unlike many during this period, did not lose it in the early 1980s…so much of this strong material will rise deservedly further up towards the top end of the Dylan canon. folkradio.co.uk/2021/09/bob-dy…

One year ago we worked out how to make this project happen, & it was thanks to YOU. Now we are ready! Albums can be pre-ordered, tickets can be bought + our documentary is almost finished. Join our journey freedomtoroam.earth for a future of compassion & hope Alan Watson Featherstone
