My witchy rock song has had a makeover for Halloween 🧙‍♀️ Under the alternative title 'Hail the Witch', it's been remixed and mastered by Marc Jackson @syncmusiclab.bsky.social. The quieter B side is new track 'Strings'.

Hail the Witch, by Never the Bridle
2 track album

My quiet(ish) DIY album is coming out next week. It was meant to be acoustic, but as I write my songs on an electric guitar, I decided to keep the plugged-in sound on some tracks.

Mixed & mastered by flakebelly at @flamingjangle.bsky.social

An old friend of my husband's is being added to the People's Pyramid tonight in Birkenhead. I wish I could be there to see the ceremony. Rest in peace PK!

Love the little riff on this and the effect on the guitar. Went to see Margaret in Bristol last year in a tiny room. She ranges from this sort of sound to a more bluesy style. And she really, really loves her guitars 🎸

A recent single from Juliana Hatfield, I really love the chorus. Still musing on the meaning behind it.

Another artist I totally missed in the 90s, but recently got algorithmed into her. Classical violinist turned guitarist and songwriter. The whole album is great!

Went to see Absentee in the mid noughties in Camden. I just love this deep main vocal so much and the lyrics are great.

Only discovered this track more recently and I think it's quite bold lyrically in places. I only knew them from when I was a kid obsessed with Don't Call Me Baby.

There will be no Show Closer poll on Saturday's #TrustTheDocRadio show. In respect of the number of recent examples of racists hiding on friends & followers lists of decent people, I will be playing #RacistFriend by #TheSpecialAKA.
