It’s an indescribable feeling when you’ve been blocked on a song for days (or even weeks) and then you suddenly make a huge leap of progress.

Working on a new song with a Venezuelan cuatro, my leather song lyrics journal and my fleece blanket adorned with a map of a Middle Earth. Outside, the wind is howling and the rain is lashing down.

It doesn’t get much better than curling up with a cat on the sofa…

Had a lovely day strolling through Grass Woods, Grassington. Lots of fungi and the leaves were turning some beautiful colours. Also climbed to the highest point which is the site of an Iron Age hill fort occupied by the Brigantes tribe

Gave a new song its live debuted today. The riff and chord progression has been waiting years to finally see the light of day, so if anyone ever worries about songs taking a while to write, you’re in good company! 😂

Came up with a neat little riff and chord progression about ten years ago and it’s been fluttering around in my head ever since because I could never find the right lyrical setting. Now it’s finally got a lyrical home and I’m a happy little Swampy!

Writing a list of songs to record for album no. 2 and I’m currently up to 17 in total. Methinks there might be a few outtakes…

This evening, I shall mostly be at The Golden Lion, Lancaster, for their weekly open mic. Supposed to be a particularly good one… 🤞🤞🤞

Anybody know of any open mics in Lancaster tonight? (That’s Lancaster in the UK, not PA; I made that mistake once before! 😂)

Had a fantastic evening at Bingley First Monday Folk last night. Huge thanks to Liz and the team for all they do. Definite highlight was seeing Trash Panda doing a floor spot.

Next up is Topic Folk Club on Thursday 14th August, playing support to Otra (tickets available online)
