I'm all booked to go to my first Celtic Connections by happy happenstance, the day job takes me there for the opening weekend whoop! I've got tickets to see Katie Gregson-MacLeod Chris Brain Jenn Butterworth, and TRIP, and the last night to see Martin Simpson. :-)

Seen this before. But it’s worth a second watch…

I'm coming back to Saltburn Folk Festival for a 2nd year. I loved the festival this year - the perfect blend of top notch musicians like Emily Portman and Martin Simpson - but also the real opportunity to take part in the local pubs - especially with my friends RING OF IRON :-) 🥰🥰🥰

I got my pre-order copy of Sam Carter's new EP & gave it a listen whilst I was on my drive home. I was pleased to hear a version of Now Is The Cool Of The Day - shocked to discover I still remembered the words from being in Lester Simpson's choir samcarter.bandcamp.com/track/now-is...

It's Bandcamp Friday, where they waive their fees for independent musicians like myself. It would be great to pick up a pre-order of my new EP... michellelaverick.bandcamp.com/album/the-he...
