...whereas some of us were taken under the wings of The Mission.

A beautiful song, by my cousin Seamie's son, Stephen. He says: "Killaspugbrone reminisces hazy summer walks and swims around the beautiful townland." (Profound apologies for linking to Sp*tify, but it's not out on Bandcamp. No snippy remarks about that please!) open.spotify.com/album/6vO9by...

This is possibly the most goth thing I've seen on the internet all week.

Wildflowers love dead people.

We are caught between the last bruising of twilight and the sodium orange hours of night. Each minute a new readjustment. Each minute a bleeding away.

How could I have almost missed World Donkey Day? Here's Dad.

I loaned out my dog-eared copy of this years ago and never got it back. One of my most beloved reads, I'll be buying this.

Read this and be floored by the twist.

Having watched and loved all episodes of The Twilight Zone I've now discovered this. Hallelujah!

Faye is a former student of mine, from when I was a Uni lecturer. Nothing at all I could teach her about music, but still I'm proud of her. Here's her first single. lnk.to/FayeDolleHar...?

St Patrick's Day. There are many versions of this out there & so I feel we were bold & cheeky to have tackled this gentle monolith of a song. Dedicated today to my dear, departed, Irish Dad, and also to my Aunt Sheila, now in her 90s, who first switched me on to the song.💚 youtu.be/1VjGhs5N6M0?...

Happy 80th birthday to DavidGilmour, who graced this song with his immeasurable talent. youtu.be/KHHqyJ_q7mQ?...

Another lovely, lovely thing from Night Swimming.

I've contributed to a new book about Sandy Denny. Below is from the author: "We've had over 250 anecdotes about, reflections on and critiques of Sandy and her music. The book is now available to pre-order via Burning Shed." burningshed.com/georgia-rose...

Now, *this* should be the music to next year's John Lewis ad! youtu.be/TrCkxm53Y3I?...

Not whistling while I work, but listening to just the most BRILLIANT music, including The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Modern English, Dead Can Dance, Talk Talk, Simple Minds (2nd album), and although some of these bands are still around, God, the late 70s and early 80s were so, so *brilliant* musically.

In case you don't know, November 2026 sees the 40th anniversary of the release of The Mission's album, Gods Own Medicine, and they're celebrating... www.academymusicgroup.com/events/the-m...

And... it's live! reganbricheno.bandcamp.com/album/dont-c... Tim and I certainly entered into the 'spirit' of Hallowe'en this year. We hope you enjoy it.🧡

One of the best experiences ever. Being carried up to bed as a kid, sleepy but not yet fully asleep, by a beloved and trusted adult, in my case my Dad. Night night.

Bandcamp Friday has come around again. Nothing new this time, but if there's anything missing from your collection, now's the day to buy. More money goes into the artist's pocket than on any other day. julianneregan.bandcamp.com reganbricheno.bandcamp.com

Lovers of Bic Hayes and Jo Spratley should by this. I have just done so. mummy.bandcamp.com/album/the-le...

Last minute addition to Bandcamp. Written & recorded July 2009. It's been on YouTube since then & although it's not 'Baby Shark Dance' level, I was pleased to see it had amassed more then 21,000 views. A relaxing, contemplative piece. I hope you enjoy. julianneregan.bandcamp.com/track/distan...
