Huge well done to @BethMalc who has been presented with the Citty Finlayson Scots Singer of the Year Award, sponsored by @TMSAScotland. Just amazing 👏 ✨

Blue tit singing on a cold early morning you can see its song in the air

no he was 3 boyfriends ago, my great great boyfriend

One of funniest things I’ve ever heard was a girl explaining the difference between Glasgow & London. She’d moved to London, was dressing boldly, and no one batted an eyelid. She wore a beret in Glasgow and within 2 mins someone leaned out a passing car and shouted “BONJOUR!”

My daughter is in her jammies, teaching herself a wee tune on the piano - looping over and over again til she gets it. I’m in the kitchen having a moment at the loveliness of a Saturday morning. And already missing her, years before she leaves here to make her own home.

This week on Travelling Folk, we've got a concert set from Beth Malcolm live from Rudolstadt-Festival, featuring Heather Cartwright on guitar and Andrew Waite on accordion. ✨ Listen in 👇 https://t.co/7eQ5yrpkWr

Whole car greetin’ on the way home to the airport listening to ‘Natural Disaster’ by @JosieDuncanSong 🫶

So delighted. Thank you @SAYaward ❤️

do u think my manager will believe this is why I’m late to work

What a beautiful moment. True compassion! Folk holding the man up through is struggles and helping him over the finish line. @LewisCapaldi your people are waiting for you when your good and ready! Much peace bro!! 🙏🏻❤️

If you can listen to Bonnie Rait’s song about about being reunited with her son’s beating heart, when she meets the man who was donated it, without greetin’…

I have been lucky to play in a wonderful duo for most of my shows this year. Tomorrow, I’ll play a solo set in support of @ProjectSmok_ and @valtosband and I’m feeling inspired at the challenge of adapting my songs back into the format of how I first wrote them 💙

True, utter, wholesome joy to finish writing a song which was only a poem for months and months in my diary.

I queued for 50 mins to see the sculpted vegetables at the Lambeth Country Show, but it was worth it.
