Not often you'll see my name on a tour poster ...
The whole play is based on interviews with the public on local folklore.
In East Anglia we have Black Shuck and quite a few tales from The Fens.
Be great to know any folklore from your neck of the woods xx

My 18yo just released her first single five minutes ago! Give it a listen. She’s good.

Oh and please like and share (even if you don’t like it!) Thanks a million.

(Why, yes, the cover art is indeed by me!)

I'm thinking Teddy might need to cut down his caffeine intake...or has a stacked out loyalty card.

Picture of a a very old BASF tape recorder and 2 older mics.
I believe my Father may have "liberated" it from a school he taught at in the late 70's

What an amazing shot! Space helmet and space hopper were always the 2 things at the top of my wish list as a kid. Maybe it's still not too late , Im sure I'd carry it off fine 🤔

I've been asked to write a string section for a track .
Remit: Think theme tune more toward "Dynasty / Dallas" rather than "Crossroads / Corrie"
Pass my shoulder padded power suit...I'm going in.

Nice to catch up with one of the neighbours thru the fence.

A very young roe deer...completely chilled out.
Took one look at me, carried on nibbling for a bit then just sauntered off.

Amazing how emboldened knuckle draggers can be when they're performing a "drive by shouting" . Looks like a very stylish and cool combo . Onwards ...🙂

I personally would, and have been, pleased as punch . I think that any airplay for grassroots musicians / artists is never a bad thing. Particularly if the DJ / host has taken the time to buy a track or so.
Community radio or smaller stations really do help more than they're given credit for.

An unbelievable gift to stock pile those years of sounds, riffs, grooves over the years in yer head and knit them together to create something so spectacular .
