Stop Trump Coalition @ukstoptrump.bsky.social · 29d

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Life lesson #1087: Never read the comments on old videos of gigs. 🤣😂 youtu.be/R3adRa9a2Yo?...

Thanks Fraser - I appreciate your support!

Circu5 @circu5.bsky.social · Sep 6

P.P.S. In the US? Shipping is back on from the UK to the US, so please feel free to order confidently.

Circu5 @circu5.bsky.social · Sep 5

P.S. Quick question… Is there a venue or festival you'd recommend us playing at? Our first confirmed gig is in Kidderminster (Worcestershire, UK) on 22 February next year, but we'd love to do lots more. Please let us know and we'll look into booking a gig there. We'll be stage-ready from December.

This scares and saddens me. It's not my thing, but it sounds good in a mass-appeal kind of way. Why bother learning how to play, sing or write music, when you can make a catchy radio-ready song in seconds? Maybe it's time I swapped the plectrums for gardening gloves.

“Making music isn’t really a choice. It’s like trying to ignore an itchy bum. Plus, I don’t have anything else. No golf club membership, nothing.”
