Now playing: Starry Mind by PG Six. IMHO, opening track ‘January’ is a textbook example of 21st century folk rock at its most thrilling

Now playing: The Trimdon Grange Explosion’s self titled debut from 2018. A fantastic album, especially their version of the traditional ‘The Bonnie Banks of Fordie’ which is easily in my top five folk-rock songs

Still obsessed with Fen Creatures by @fuzzylightsband.bsky.social - I’ve already played it a ridiculous number of times. Love it when a record grabs you like that

Just heard about Electric Folk by Blackthorn, an Irish album recorded in 1972 and produced by Dave Pegg and now I really need to hear it

RIP Martin Parr. Loved his work. I always thought this one would make a brilliant album cover (Pant Shrapnel was a terribly named band that nearly existed)

Now playing: digging out some rather nice psych folk I’ve not listened to in an age - The Glittering Fishes Were Stars by April in the Orange (US, self-released, 2011 with a hand-decorated sleeve). Can’t find anything about them online other than a couple of copies for sale on Discogs and eBay

Orange cats are the best. This old fellow, Camp Freddie, is now 15 and has reached the stage in life can’t decide if he’s a cat or a tube.

Now playing: Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill - Triona (1975). Another gorgeous album from the 1970s Irish folk scene with a great line up of contributors. Turlough Og O’Boyle is an amazing track. Cheap vinyl copies can still be found.

Now Playing: Mick Hanly - As I Went Over Blackwater from 1980. A gorgeous album and a who’s who of the 70s Irish Folk scene: Donal Lunny, Andy Irvine, Matt Molloy, Noel Hill, Declan Sinnott and Paddy Glackin all play on it.

Just finished To Keep a Bird from Singing by @caoimhindoyle.bsky.social - a really good, pacy, multilayered crime novel with great characters and bags of intrigue and skullduggery. I always knew anarchists would make the best crime writers! Recommended.
