Competing with Christy Moore for the title of 'Best Folk Singer' was not on my 2025 bingo card. Confused yet grateful to receive two nominations in the upcoming @RTERadio1 Folk Awards, for 'Best Folk SInger' and 'Best Traditional Track'. Full list here: https://t.co/KYgGVuEdvh

Bandcamp Friday is upon us, which means there’s a few more hours to order a CD or vinyl without any extra fees charged to the artist. The vinyls arrived just in time and I have never been so happy to see my large, crinkly head on cardboard. Order here: https://t.co/rDs94zFfPk
