NP: It's so incredibly chill, a delight after the morning thunderstorms. Every element precisely put...

Made it to the finish/starting line. This is my 9th album, Bring Our Light To Every Corner It features some absolutely incredible people on it, but mostly it’s the best album I could make and probably have made yet. Proud and tired (can you see in my eyes I’ve been up since 3:45 fretting?)

I’m not saying the debate in the U.K. has moved to the right, but Ed Miliband is basically seen as Pol Pot for aiming for a climate target first agreed to by…I think Theresa May’s government? Definitely Johnson’s. And this chat is going on during the middle of a record-breaking heatwave

Tonight, 8pm bst, from my living room to your ears. Really hope you can come and share in this album playback. Q&A afterwards for those that like questions. www.youtube.com/live/asAF0ot...

I’m sorry, feels so braggy, but I got reviewed in Mojo for the 1st time. Early 90s I started playing with my Amiga 500 and OctaMED. I was obsessed with music mags and news. Bought them all with my wages from the local shop. 15 year old me would be mind blown I got here. Even if it took a while.

You, me, him, Thursday 8pm. My YouTube channel. Full and first listen anywhere to my new album. Would love to share it with you

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

I cannot express how jarring it is to hear news coverage of musk’s wealth that make absolutely no mention of the fact that *this week* he was calling for pogroms in the UK, networks with far right extremists using Moscow as a meeting point, and is open about a desire to bring down the UK government.

You can't "legitimate concerns" a pogrom.

“When hell is full the dead will walk the earth” Comments sections are no longer the hiding place of the racists and the trans haters though they are oppressively racist and hate-filled now. Years of political leaders spouting anti-immigrant rhetoric legitimised hate as it was always intended

The hate in the uk at the moment is fucking depressing. Racism, anti-trans hate, anti-refugee violence. A Green Party post calling out vastly overblown trans fearmongering and comments were all “not now” “more important things” etc. if we don’t call out hate daily. What the fuck are we doing.

Tonight. 8pm BST. Live from this room. Production walkthrough with a brand new track from the album. A very special version in fact. Would love to have you there. The song features performances from Jessica Lauren, Idris Rahman and a very special secret guest. youtube.com/live/lmmy6J8...

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

I’m doing a live production walkthrough/Q&A and playing an exclusive of a new track. Wednesday evening. 8pm. RSVP for invite. tally.so/r/lbMJlV

“The next record is guaranteed to fail” What a weird roller coaster. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Unexpected Wichita Lineman from Flea making an unexpected morning commute to Canary Wharf unexpectedly nice.

For the record: if music sounds good to your ears then it's good music. Stop letting people tell you otherwise.

Good morning.

It’s really frightening.

One of the last of the pantheon of true giants has left us. A great originator. You do not learn jazz without learning Sonny Rollins. We’re lucky that we had him for so long, but the loss feels tremendous.

One for the jazzers youtu.be/LkeeX2qwg3c?... RIP Sonny Rollins

I agree that re women’s spaces, women’s voices should be in the foreground, but I also strongly feel that where statutory discrimination is concerned, having an opinion and voicing support for the affected groups is ok.

Awake, A Dream Devil’s Dyke, UK This was such a beautiful place to sit and practice.

Featuring contributions from Paul Weller and Darren Hayman, this is ostensibly about The Herd pin-up turned Quo mainstay Andy Bown. But really it's a love letter to that most under-celebrated of callings – the journeyman.

Anything is possible, even if you are entirely independent like me ✨

Explorations are back. Haven’t done them in too long. An exploration asks no questions. It isn’t *for* anything. It’s just allowing myself time to do my favourite thing. The thing that feels like it did when I first started messing around with an Amiga 500+ in 1992. It’s just play.

My main takeaway from the FT profile of Reform voters is that a sub-set of older people who are actually doing OK get a lot of pleasure from feeling like they are victims.

The rich people of today only have two ideas: 1. Let’s kill everyone 2. I need a bunker so after we kill everyone I can emerge from underground, spread my wings like a peacock, and continue to be rich

The last of the bluebells out in the woods this morning. Still practicing every day, still trying to get this one down without errors, but accepting sometimes the little mistakes form the possibility of good ideas. The wind and the trees get 10/10 for participation today.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

This song “Awake, A Dream” came out this week. I’ve been practicing it a lot lately. Here was a sunrise moment in Scotland a few weeks back. A little stiff due to VERY cold fingers. Would love you to hear the whole song, it’s a long one but peaceful… AlbertsFavourites.lnk.to/zOwuQK5WPR

Come and join me on this sofa tonight (virtually at least)? A new piece of music. 14 minutes and 55 seconds I would really love to listen to together. Come and be the first to listen to a slice of my new album. 8pm. Bring snacks and something decent to listen on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSsZ...

The ‘So’ classic albums docu is one of my favourites and SO worth a rewatch if you have a happy hour free this week.

After 30 years of playing guitar this shouldn’t make me proud… But I’ve managed a month of practicing daily. It’s never been my strong point. But I feel like I’m breaking through a bit. Even through my holiday in Scotland over Easter. And as you’d hope, things are getting better.

I’m lost. Please help me. I’m trying to feel safe enough to just admit “I’m lost”. Then enjoy the moment of saying “please help me”. I’ve spent weeks working up to this. But I’m starting see “lostness” as a useful place. open.substack.com/pub/adamscri...

So very happy for my Hungarian friends who have walked miles, shouted, created and pushed so hard for change for so long now. A turn towards truth and justice and optimism. And a big far-right thread pulled on across Europe. May their reach unravel fast and painfully.

If you want to learn how to support people in Lebanon AND discover music that will make your life better, this will help…

Keeping up daily practice on a borrowed guitar on Arran. Bit chilly out there but couldn’t resist this sunrise play.

Please come and join me in my living room (via YouTube) on 22nd April at 8pm for 14 minutes and 54 seconds (a little more if you’d like to chat afterwards) of new music, shared together. Awake, A Dream - 8pm 22/04/26 www.youtube.com/live/tSsZ0LN...

Curse of Private Equity US evidence shows: When private equity incentives collide with clinical care, patients—especially those who are sicker, poorer, or harder to treat—are more likely to be killed or harmed. Yet UK handing more of the NHS to PE, enabling it to make profits.

“This is a crime against humanity… no longer just a human rights violation. It is truly anti-human behaviour.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Tax billionaires out of existence.

Did you know my brain tumour is incurable? That's likely because just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to brain cancer since 2002. That's why I'm walking 10k steps per day in February to raise funds for @braintumourrsch.bsky.social www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

“Y’all seem so worried,” said Sun Ra, “about playing the notes. But you can play more than just notes on a page, you know. You can play the river. You can play the sun rays.”

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Your Invasion Is A Lie (2026) feat. Idris Rahman I rereleased this track this week. I made the album it came from Pay-what-you-want including the vinyl but 90% of anything you choose to pay goes to charities: refugee council, MAP, Earth Percent. In 2023 the title and song was about the UK press
