New Music Thursday - Melys, Second Wind. Not pre-heard any of these, but expecting beautiful tunes, sultry vocals, and deep dark pain in the lyrics. @melysmusic.bsky.social @garyhusband.bsky.social

How on earth is it Friday already? Still doing Monday’s ‘to do’ list! Happy Friday everyone

Nadolig llawen/ happy Christmas Bluesky pals!

Tonight I discovered Norwegian Death Jazz. Quite an eye opener but also epic! The band is Agabas (don’t seem to be on here yet!)

Yes!! Cobbler triumph!

Two very different live performances this week. Thankfully in the audience for the muppets!

Fantastic gif tonight in Swansea with @melysmusic.bsky.social

They’ve been building up to playing the new single!

Rehearsals done…. Gigs for @melysmusic.bsky.social in Aberystwyth this Sat and Swansea on Sunday!

This is a fascinating debate that is being played out kindly, robustly and interestingly. Let’s hope it stays like this here! Well worth a read!

You know it’s proper man flue when the hot toddies come out

And for my first post… A few pics from our recent Archaeology Scotland Learning Team trip to Shetland. #Archaeology #Shetland

There will be no miracles here.

🔊 #NowPlaying on BBC6Music's "Huw Stephens" Melys: 🎵 Diwifr

I’ve made lots of fantastic new connections on here. If you’d like to follow our music (Melys), here’s the link! bsky.app/profile/mely...

There’s a really interesting energy here. Lots of following of each other and finding new people and spaces. While I’ve connected with some folk from x, it’s also a new and exciting space. Different but a little familiar!

Hugely excited to share the news that our Exeter PhD student Alan Endacott has found not one but two new stone circles on Dartmoor! www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops. They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities. Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish . Thank you.

Diolch/Thank you Huw Stephens @bbcradio6musicbot.bsky.social Means a lot you played the new single!

Already connecting with new and really interesting people on here!

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Going to attempt to find a lot of my previous connections from X … bare with as I try to learn how to navigate here. Please do say hi if you stumble across this! I feel a bit like I’m trying to feel my way about in the dark!

In what messed up world is this right??

If you’ve 30 mins over the weekend, you might like this set from @melysmusic live from Other Voices festival last weekend … youtu.be/INLzTp_uZXQ?...

New record out on Saturday. #RSD24

Anyone fancy a gig or two?

Hello! Delighted to announce some gigs! First gigs since pandemic!

Getting the hang of this now… going to be drowning in fecking bowls though! Will need to give more away!

Feels like Twitter circa 2009 Akin to madness and talking to myself (which I do regularly)

Absolutely feckin’ freezing! Best seat in the house!

Held together with glue and hope…..

Latest idea for daft project. Coloured sticks in rose coloured epoxy ready to be put on lathe and turned to make a bowl.

Finished making a thing

I sense trouble ahead (yesss!!)

Autumn init …

A fine afternoon in the workshop!

#Tinkering!

Hello…. Anyone….
