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

Mixing with a pair of Kali LP-6 speakers (and a sub) and blimey does it make such a difference over my old ILouds!

Thoroughly enjoyable evening at The Salt Cellar, Saltaire, for their Tuesday open mic. Sang a couple of songs that I don’t do live as often as I should and they went down very well

Another quick rearrangement of the pedalboard. Added an MXR Phase 100 for some nice swirly-type sounds. Just need to find a reverb pedal that I’m happy with and that’ll be this version of the board complete (but not the end of my gear acquisition; don’t be ridiculous! 😂)
