A week ago, myself & Dave Long released this 4 track EP.

No expectations, no pressure.

The reaction so far has blown us away.

Written, recorded, released: 2 months.

DIY, low-fi.

Yet somehow it has found an audience.

All we can say is thank you….

Some wonderful newness in the form of music from The Sentimental Tourists . Harking me back to the great days of The Underground on Dame Street when dreams and broken strings were all we had . Well done @pagep195.bsky.social and Dave Long .

Bernie Saunders in Cork, Ireland, warning Europeans that what is happening in the USA is coming to Ireland & the rest of Europe soon.

He's right. The UK with brexit has, arguably, already fallen.
