how come a 200 year old song is about inc*l culture and drink spiking?
in my song Oxford City I didn't change a single word of the lyrics from the manuscript. but it's still depressingly relevant
I will sing about this until it's fixed

I didn't have expectations for my debut single, so that it's had radio play and lovely comments is amazing.
I'm really happy that music that comes straight from my soul, that's 100% authentically me, chimes with others.
Hope you have 🌞 in your day too

genuine question is anyone interested in long (talkin 15 minutes long) weird experimental stuff?
it's niche so maybe it would be good for zoning out to or contemplating life while you're in the bath🛀
the tune is Tilly Trip by Breesha Maddrell, from Folk Tunes From The Women

What is that?? 🎻 it's a stick fiddle, which I got so I can bring a fiddle travelling wherever I go.
It fits in hand luggage, weighs pretty much nothing and in terms of the string length is the same as a standard fiddle
nifty eh!

1/4 I'm ashamed to realise that making time to listen to music, not whilst driving/exercising/working, just listening to music for enjoyment and inspiration, is something I've not been doing. An important part of my soul I've been neglecting.
Same, anyone?

Overheard in folk club bogs:
"Aye but he's gettin a new band started now"
"Oh?"
"There's him, Kevin an a fiddler. A *female* fiddler."
"A *female* fiddler?!"
"Aye!"
Are we that rare a breed? 😂🎻
