I saw a signpost in Dumfries and Galloway to the ‘Devil’s Porridge Museum’. Discovered the remarkable story of the thousands of young women who flocked to Gretna Green to make munitions in WWI so I had to write a song about them 🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #music #folkmusic 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/track/4cj9PA...

A wee favour if possible? Can anyone from Scotland record themselves chatting for about 3 mins? It's for a song and I just need some Scottish accents. It'll all be mixed together into a hubbub of talk fading in as the music fades out. Not looking for studio quality. DM me. THANK YOU 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😁 🙏 #music

Lovely morning in the woods surrounded by bluebells and birdsong. For me, field archery is a total break from music and it gives me the mental space to process new melodies and lyrics 🎶 #music

Taurean pict in his element! Enjoying the sun after a great day of field archery 🏹 #music #pictishart #burgheadbull

‘Sometimes It’s Too Much’ written a few years ago- just released 🎶 I had this little banjo riff that felt so right for these tender words. The whole arrangement was basically about using space & melody to bring a wistful ray of hope into a dark place. 👇🏽 #music open.spotify.com/track/6Q19tC...

Found a quintessential English tearoom baking and selling ‘Maids of Honour’ tarts which have been enjoyed and eaten since Tudor times apparently. Great to sit outside in the sun drinking tea and nibbling on warm pastries. Back to the studio next week 🎶 #music

Thursday night’s @folkandroots.bsky.social gig at the Soho Folk & Blues club was a delight. A lovely opportunity to perform completely acoustically - just voice, guitar and the natural reverb of a small room - for an appreciative and welcoming audience. Snippet of ‘Selkie’ from ‘Skail’ 📀 #music
