What a weekend @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social & the stunning, wildlife-rich otherworldliness of Elmley National Nature Reserve. Exciting, innovative writers & artists doing great things. Tripping over hares & lapwings & a stay (with Andrew Wasylyk band!) in historic, atmospheric Kingshill Farmhouse.

Step into my orbit, pull up a collapsing star. 🙏

I’d seen this picture of John & Alice Coltrane in Nagasaki on a 1966 tour of Japan in black & white before but never in colour. I don’t know why but it’s kind of taken my breath away. The sign in the background translates to Atomic Bomb Hypocenter. Can’t find name of the photographer to credit 📷

"A madcap reputation has tended to obscure what they really are: a formidable songwriting force." I went to see Super Furry Animals in Glasgow and wrote about it for The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

We’ve just made Friday & Saturday day tickets available for our upcoming event at Elmley Nature Reserve. A few weekend tickets are also still available, with plenty of affordable off-site accommodation available nearby: www.caughtbytheriver.net/2026/05/caug...

#NowPlaying: ‘In Portmanteau’ by @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social (feat. @fieldmusicmusic.bsky.social) www.caughtbytheriver.net/2026/04/now-... Taken from the album 'Irreparable Parables' (@claypipemusic.bsky.social). Andrew plays a very special show at our Elmley Nature Reserve event next month.

Bell tent booked! really looking forward to this. With @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social playing on the Saturday night @modernnature.bsky.social on the Friday, and Elmley looks amazing. Might even get some early swimming in.

I really enjoyed being interviewed for the first episode of The Chill Out Tent's Sunday morning show on OpenLab radio. I told the story of the beginning of Blackford Hill Records and played music by Morgan Szymanski, Makushin, @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social & more. Listen here openlab.fm/radio/shows/...

Lovely pastoral video from the always amazing Mr. Wasylyk's new album on @claypipemusic.bsky.social // @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXlW...

Read Grant's article, if only to marvel at this incredible photo of Astrid Kirchherr standing at the front of the queue to the Cavern in 1964, a year after The Beatles had left Liverpool and two years after her boyfriend, Stuart Sutcliffe had died.

Journalists, DJs, Radio Show hosts, etc! I have lots of releases coming out this year that I would really like to shout about. If you'd like to be added to my promo mailing list please DM me or send your details to [email protected]

RIP James Gadson, drummer. Working with everyone from Marvin Gaye to Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin to Justin Timberlake, his career spanned 6 decades. He played on over 500 gold records, including Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On," the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and Herbie Hancock's "Manchild"

Saturday vibes... Rare I pick up an album these days purely on the strength of the artwork and without hearing a single note. But I felt compelled to pick up this and now being rewarded. Truly wonderful work from @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social & @claypipemusic.bsky.social 🙏× #NowPlaying #MusicSky

Obviously, motives for making things will never be driven by this sort of stuff, but just wanted to send a wee note of thanks out there to everyone who got a copy of Irreparable Parables and quietly helped sneak it over the fence and into the back door of Thee Charts. 🙏x @claypipemusic.bsky.social

My gratitude to @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social for his magical ensemble show the other night, and to @bristol247.bsky.social for letting me write a review. A case of place transposed to music which I have attempted to capture in words. www.bristol247.com/culture/musi...

Out today @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social Irreparable Parables.

BACK IN STOCK: 'Irreparable Parables' by Andrew Wasylyk An impressive cast of guest vocalists join Wasylyk for a work spanning, blending, and splitting jazz, downtempo, folk, and chamber classical. @claypipemusic.bsky.social www.normanrecords.com/records/2133...

The world is on fire and Spurs are going down, but @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social in Edinburgh tonight was pure air and light. His new album is out tomorrow. Treat yourself. (NB @kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social was her usual astonishing self too)

Last night's gig at The Pleasance - transported to a much better place by the lush sounds and chilled vibe of Andrew Wasylyk. The excellent Kathryn Joseph as support and also collaborating on a song from the new album, arguably the highlight of a stonking set. @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social

A transcendent evening in Edinburgh, thanks to the music of Kathryn Joseph and Andrew Wasylyk. (No photographs during the gig - I was too busy listening…)

I'm happy to share a new project – The Golden Age of Community Radio. It's a directory of awe-inspiring stations across the world that I discovered while promoting an album last year. It's also a resource for other musicians wanting to find new places to send their music. radio.surfacepressure.net

Very happy to be putting on this afternoon event at Soho Poly on 25th April www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-spring-g...
