One of the most rewarding moments of the 'promoter' side of what I do, has been Warp + Weft earlier this month. Warp + Weft is a melting pot of influences, under the banner of what we call 'Folk'. I wrote a piece below for those who missed out 👇 www.patreon.com/posts/158788...

Next week, Sunday 24th May, I'll be doing a rare Leeds show at The Attic. There will also be a @righttoroam.bsky.social West Yorkshire stall and a short talk from them. Would really love to pack this one out: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-attic-...

94 years ago, the Kinder Trespassers from Salford, Manchester and Sheffield, trespassed on the grouse moors of Kinder Scout, in the fight for "Open Air Access". In years to come, this is seen as "one of the most successful pieces of direct action in British History" by Labour MP Roy Hattersley.

This Friday I'll be kicking off the Kinder Trespass anniversary celebrations in Hathersage at Open House... Do I know many folks from the Peaks on here? 🤞 www.openhousehathersage.com/events/johnn...

Thanks for the kind words 😊 New album coming next year!

Over the last year or so, I've really enjoyed doing gigs with a number of different artists in fields other than music. Last night, myself and Sue Reed joined forces in the Tyne Valley at the unique space @langleytracks for an evening of folk song and creative writing focusing on the senses ✨️

Field recording birdsong and flowing streams this morning to be additional musicians for next year's album. It's pretty close to completion 🤞 Woodpecker: snare Great tit: lead vocals Pigeon: backing dancer (bez) What other additional birds would you add to your fictional avian band? 🤔

Flyers have arrived for Warp + Weft! Warp + Weft is a day event that we hope will be a precursor to a festival later this year. Our ambitions are pretty high with future events and this day 'trial run' combines folk, ambient, drone, electronica, hosted in a remote church on a Pennine moor.

Back out on the road again this week, with last night's show in Dartford, and tonight, a sold out show on the Isle of Wight! Nect show I'll be in Northumberland on 29th March with Sue Reed at Langley Tracks. Who do I know up in Northumberland on Bluesky? Tour dates: www.johnnycampbell.co.uk

An unexpected ramble on one of Europe's longest hiking routes prompted these thoughts...

As a Millennial approaching my forties, I look back on the pre-digital era and maybe, just maybe, take influence from those times. Would love to hear what you may be doing to go more ‘analogue’… open.substack.com/pub/johnnyca...

In contrast to last week's Spine Race, Right to Roam Sheffield & NW spent a day of intuitive rambling around the rump of Kinder. Like the Sheff & Manc ramblers of the 19th and 20th century, we follow in their legacy, symbolically meeting at Kinder to open a new chapter in @righttoroam.bsky.social

Looking back at the year's highlights, month by month on Patreon, the obvious one that stands out is walking the Pennine Way. But a personal one, was making the move to Sheffield, the folky capital of the UK. I haven't felt at home in a place for a long time, and whenever I'm away, I miss it.

A Christmas Day tradition for me. To visit my favourite stone circle for a blustery, atmospheric moorland yomp. Today, it was FREEZING winds. What Christmas Day traditions do you do?

Day 12 of the Pennine Way Tour Writings is now on Patreon. From Dufton to Alston, I walked 21 miles over 3500ft to perform in Alston as part of the Pennine Way Tour. 17 shows in 19 days across 268 miles. From £3 a month, support me on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/johnnycampbell/membership
