The Big Push Tour 2026 - So great watching the clips from yesterday (Glasgow) - trying not to watch too many knowing that later this month I'll be in the crowd watching them in Brighton (if all goes to plan you never know). Gorran posted a photo on his insta of Ren & Romain napping - so sweet.

Next track to be released from the Asylum album by Inpatient (Ren & Webby) premieres on Weds 6th May and is called Neurodivergent. A placeholder is now on youtube with a "notify me" option. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y4M...

One for the RENegades who missed the live twitch stream after the release of Instigator. Mentions some new tattoos, future releases, collabs, his guitars, his health etc etc [1hr 48mins] www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVVs...

#Music #MusicSky #NewMusic Newest single called Instigator from the collab called Inpatient (Ren and Chris Webby) released today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoIl...

Do any fellow RENegades subscribe to Ren's Patreon? The latest video is really interesting 30mins+ on how they wrote Down the Road. Ren (& Webby) singing nonsense words to the beat, refining the beat, then having a group discussion on the theme and then setting out actual lyrics and recording them.

Went for a stroll in a bluebell wood this morning - nice and early before it got busy.

On this day in 2023 I shared The Tales of Jenny and Screech by Ren on my FB page and that is the only evidence I have of the start of my RENegade journey. I believe I must have seen Hi Ren a bit before that but I will take today as my 3 year RENiversary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYAn...

#Music #MusicSky #NewMusic After "Down The Road" which is currently #10 on YT's UK Music Trending chart, the next single "Instigator" [?] will be released on 22/4/26. By Inpatient [Ren and Chris Webby collab project] Another genre switch it seems. www.youtube.com/shorts/T2-xF...

One for the RENegades - a clip from an unreleased song from Ren. www.youtube.com/shorts/bYmJU...

#Music #MusicSky There are rumours of a collab between Ren & Ocean Wisdom - official confirmation awaited. Ocean is a hip-hop rapper born 1993 in London who spent some of his teenage years in Brighton. His debit single Walkin" from 2014 shows off his fast rap style. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9Kx...

So chuffed - just managed to buy a ticket to see The Big Push (ie Ren) next month. Next step is to sort travel and hotel.

The earliest book I can remember loving was The Cat in The Hat by Dr Suess at infant school (ages 4-7) - I reckon this book was the start of my appreciation of spoken word, meaningful song lyrics and certain types of rap.

#Music #MusicSky Crutch An intense song from Ren uploaded in May 2016 so approaching 10 years ago. [Trigger warning for mental health crisis] www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gC2...

Went for a walk

#Music #MusicSky Ren teasing us with a snippet of a new song out next month www.youtube.com/shorts/fo0-L...

10.25 AM. UK National Grid is currently whacking out 65.8% output by wind alone, solar another 23.3%. We are generating 114% of our demand & exporting 10% (4.7GW) to Europe & also replenish our pumped storage supply - using 4%. Fossil fuel is only generating 7.9% of output. #renewables #windpower

We cling to poems, quotes, and music because we don't want to be alone. We want to know that someone else understands exactly how we're feeling. We want someone to put into words what we can't. 🤍

#MusicChallenge #IsmuasMonthOfMusic Day 26 - A song in a major key that feels melancholic. The above remit confuses non-musical me but google suggests I try upbeat music with sad words. The closest I could find was I See Fire (Ed Sheeran). www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fng...

#MusicChallenge #IsmuasMonthOfMusic Day 25 - A song you almost forgot www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfeI...

#MusicChallenge #IsmuasMonthOfMusic Day 24 - A song with extended jazz harmony First recorded in 1931 by Calloway and his big band orchestra. This version is by Brothers Moving (busking in NYC) - showing some wild energy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3AH...

#MusicChallenge #IsmuasMonthOfMusic Day 23 - A song for a non-music fan Hi Ren - a song that is more a performance piece than a melodic musical lullaby. With nearly 67m views on YT it portrays the inner battles many of us feel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_nc...

#MusicChallenge #IsmuasMonthOfMusic Day 22 - A song built around repetition www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0sZ...

One for my fellow renegades... A fascinating behind the screen video of the filming of Vincent's Tale - Self Portrait showing just how involved Ren is in the making and directing of his music videos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=45cH...

Conference pear showing signs of coming into blossom A few blossoms already out on my apricot tree (was pruned heavily last year) Raised beds clear and ready for planting (I have to cover with mesh due to multiple neighbours' cats digging in any clear ground). Rainbow Chard has overwintered well

One for any fellow Renegades... An early one featuring a very young Ren when he was with his band Trick the Fox (June 2012). www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENbN...

Back from watching the TØP concert film MTWEI and those boys certainly know how to put on a show. Don't believe I'll ever get to see them live so this is the next best thing. Really enjoyed it.🍿🎶👍
