Another highlight from day 1 of @hiddennotes.bsky.social festival - mesmeric mix of Indian classical singing & electronica from Arushi Jain.

Great to be back @hiddennotes.bsky.social festival in Stroud. Incredible range of music & music lovers packed into a beautiful church. First day highlights inc @annaphoebe.bsky.social previewing new LP Divergence.

Daisy Rickman's set was definitely one of Friday's highlights @endoftheroadfestival.com. #EOTR25

Still pinching myself that Marika Hackman is playing local parish church in Devon this Saturday. Amazing chance to see her live in a wonderful setting.

In the week of his death, proud of this interview I did with Johnnie Walker in 1984 for the Wootton Bassett Standard, a local paper. Met Johnnie in the Cross Keys pub after his lunchtime show for GWR. He would later be advised by station bosses to spend less time in the pub each afternoon!
