The guys at the church have been so accommodating. A perfect venue for a project focused on themes of inclusion, freedom, and a celebration of the areas local to where we each live, and their spirit community.

...and a Happy Birthday to @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social! 🎂

Hello from us all! We’ve been a bit quiet recently, as we’ve all been busy with other projects… Beth led some songwriting workshops yesterday and asked groups a question about favourite places. The garden was a common answer. So, waving hello from our gardens to yours! Where’s your favourite spot?

There is wonderful news. And we shall share it very soon.

This morning, I collected my allocation of wristbands for the first Berwick Fringe Festival from #northernedgecoffee in town. You can buy these direct from me or from Northern Edge on Marygate for £6.00, or online from www.ampedberwick.co.uk/berwick-frin... for £6.50. We'd love to see you there!

The Compendium airs on Wednesdays at 8pm (UK) on www.folkfridayradio.com @folkfridayradio.bsky.social This is not a show focused on new music, but we do include new songs in the mix most weeks. This week, being a 'Tenth' show (#260), we're taking a more folky turn.

The Untangled Knot is a community based, collaborative music project focusing on issues of inclusion, freedom, and the things that make our local areas special to each of us. What makes your own area special? @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social @shirley-sings.bsky.social #BethPorterCello

When you come to leave Berwick by train, you see clear evidence of Victorian vandalism. They drove a railway through the Great Hall of Berwick Castle 😳

Is this perhaps my coolest gig to date? Opening for the daughter of a bestie? Yup. I reckon so. Here's some pics of Gwendy & I through the ages (with seriously questionable outfit & hair choice from me in 80s). Can't wait to see her this wknd. Sun 12th April. It's by donation. See you there? x

I'm very much enjoying Beth Porter track on the Untangled Knot collab... its lovely, and so well produced... and catchy too! theuntangledknot.bandcamp.com/track/who-we...
