Great concert by @Siobhan_Miller at @SettleVicHall tonight, really enjoyed it. Well worth extending our holiday by a day to attend!
Brilliant concert by @TheHaarBand tonight at @SettleVicHall. First time we have seen them (although have loved their albums). So talented & great fun.
Just played "The Colour of Night" by @Ninebarrow OMG what a superb album, sublime harmonies, their best yet? Although A Pocket Full of Acorns was also brilliant!
The @lukepauljackson Trio were just brilliant at @PurbeckFolk - already looking forward to seeing them again at Swanage Folk Festival!
Fantastic set by @sarahjarosz today at @PurbeckFolk loved it to bits!

Word of the day is ‘snollygoster’ (19th century): one who abandons their principles for short-term gain or power.
That The Telegraph still sees fit to platform this bellend and her think tank-funded bullshit tells you all you need to know about the paper… It’s The Express in broadsheet.
Last night @warwickfolkfest was excellent. @ManranOfficial were absolutely awesome. I have listened to their music for a while but this was first time seeing them & front row too - brilliant!
The highlights for Friday @warwickfolkfest for me were seeing @timedey & @willharmonica performing together plus the great performance by @ChrisWood_Music who is a fantastic songwriter & performer.
At @warwickfolkfest & the opening concert from @Ellie_Gowers & @thisisthekit was just superb. Both were sublime. So much more good music to come too!
Just played Hollow Point by @ChrisWood_Music to remember Jean Charles de Menezez on the anniversary of his death. The most poignant piece of modern folk music about a moment in our history that was a complete & utter balls up.
This #PrivilegesCommittee report is about more than just one rogue PM - it's a vital part of the fight back against post-truth politics. What's at stake is nothing less than the democratic principles at the heart of our political system - abstention is complicity.
Dear @UKLabour, You should know that just because the Conservative Party have wrecked our society, we are not just going to vote for you by default. Your actions right now are deeply troubling on many fronts and we’ll hold you to account. Please RT if you agree.
Should we have PR? RT for larger sample size
Suella Braverman keeps repeating that the Rwanda scheme etc is the “will of the British people” If, like me, you’re British, & this is not your “will” let her know by retweeting this please. We deserve to be heard #RwandaNotInMyName @SuellaBraverman
🔴BORIS JOHNSON "Those who break the law will have nowhere to hide." 👉RETWEET if you agree Johnson should be investigated.
The Health Secretary knows just how strong NHS nurses are together so he’s threatening them with legal action to prevent them fighting against real terms pay cuts. Please RT if this has only strengthened your support for nurses.

I despise this government with all of my soul. Utterly shameful for years and years and years. And alarming rise in fascistic rhetoric. It would be almost laughable and embarrassing if it wasn’t dangerous. Vote them out as soon as you get the chance.

I’m afraid I’ll be jumping ship too if i have to pay for it. Years of work and friendships made, lost.
This time last year I had a blue tick that meant I was who I said I was ... now a blue tick is almost certainly an identifier of a political propagandist/bot ... I stayed here because it's a useful outlet to a significant following ... if X becomes paid for that goes too.
@trussliz Almost a year on, the country still believes you are a complete pillock.
all of those definitions are folk. i swore i wasn’t going to get drawn in, but “folk” isn’t a music, it’s a people/community process.
@elizacarthy He certainly is. I’ve always thought there’s such a strong link between folk music, blues, hip hop, rock and the sub-genres related to them. If someone is singing about every day people and the struggles, that’s a folk singer.
There’s no such thing as a cover in traditional music. Done right, they’re all reinterpretations. ✊🏻
@61harpy @cathy456123 @elizacarthy @Stuart_Anderton Also, I would regard great singers such as Martin, Dick et al as "interpretators" of song as oppose to merely performing "cover versions".
My album release party last night is a night I will remember forever! ♥️ I am incredibly moved by the sold out room of such beautiful souls @soundloungeCIC! 🙏 so grateful ♥️🌈 Lots more to say but for now I am about to play two festivals today @the7hillsfest & @septembersongUK!
