Chatting with audience member after my set at Knaresbro F F. He called my songs and playing ‘honest music’ and that’s a description I’ll take any time.

I'm playing at WetherbyFestival on Friday 7th October, alongside Serious Sam Barrett and more! Grab tickets here: bit.ly/3duXuBI

Naught but a leap to the left And then a clockwyse tread; Put thyne handes on thy hippes, And be thy knees in-gatherèd; Certes, the pelvique thruste Maketh mirth doun to rayne: Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!

Less than a week till Feast of Folk at Wetherby Festival. Looking forward greatly to appearing with Roger Knowles, Serious Sam Barrett and Katie Spencer. Cracking night in prospect. wetherbyfestival.co.uk/tickets/p/hues…

Dear #ToryGovt, I just spoke to a friend who is soon to be a Consultant in the #NHS - he tells me he has never seen anything like this. The #NHS is on its knees, people on trolleys, staff are drained, a complete disaster. RT in support of our amazing, hardworking #NHS Staff.

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore. Do you care? Feel free to RT to show that you do.

It's Bandcamp Friday, first Friday of the month, when Bandcamp passes on all revenues from the site to artists and creators without taking any commission. Have a browse in a coffee break, see if anything takes your fancy (my songs not excluded).

I am not ashamed of Britain. I am not ashamed to be British. I am deeply, deeply ashamed of our government. RT if you agree. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Dionne Warwick. Oh God. Kill me now. All that I don’t want from music.

Just a week and a few minutes to go . . . and all I can think about is where I'm going to park.
