@grantmcphee.bsky.social hi Grant, you get a mention in Norman's podcast episode too btw. Hope all good with you

Not my diary. It just shared like that. Not that I have a diary. Unless it's lying unused in a drawer somewhere.

I also discovered I've been pronouncing Euros Child's name wrong for decades. Not that I say it that often obviously but now I can do so correctly.

Listened to this last night and it was perfect 2nd earthquake aftershock distraction. Norman and @nicolameighan.bsky.social on fine form talking about musical connections,songwriting, place, family, The Wicker Man, @thepastels.bsky.social, walking & much more. www.akickupthearts.org/blog-3-1/all...

Experienced my first earthquake on my own where I am near Trujillo last night. It's given me a lot to think about. youtu.be/_0pWjWJl7I4?...

Okay, now I might rewatch Point Blank in the style of Jim Jarmusch.

Today I went to the Mario Vargas Llosa museum and saw the miniature typewriter he got from Santa then watched a hologram of his mother giving birth to him in the actual bed and room he was born in. Feliz Navidad.

someone tell the producers of race across the world that I'm rocking my audition.

I just broke my sunglasses so that's my surprise Christmas present to myself.

We have raised over £2,000 with these vouchers, how good is that! Last chance to nab one in time for xmas Glaswegians, order by tomorrow to make out last post run on 17th Dec

this will be a boisterous blether between @stuhennigan.bsky.social and @regretteruane.bsky.social on Thursday 7th February at 7pm. Email for invite. Can't guarantee the accuracy of the hair colours but the chat will be good.

Yesterday I agreed to do a stand up set in Spanish at a night early next year, today I don't regret it.

I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions on an effective way to hang small hand weavings

STATE, IN RELATION. My piece - Word Rain - is designed to be read multiple ways. Launching Sunday 14th at TBG+S, and available to buy at Dublin Art Book Fair. 📸: @sonyagildea.bsky.social

This contains a seance I conducted with the photography of Norwegian musicologist Ole Mørk Sandvik from 1927. Delighted to see this piece come into print!

Today marks the 16th year after the passing of Jack Rose. My generation's Fahey. He's gone too soon but never forgotten. Let's go back to this wonderful footage in time (like every year) to honour his memory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xY7...

some places came up, got the second last one, got some funding, got some nerve.

Why do I have to verify my age again when I did it four months ago? I am literally four months older and have not regressed to childhood.

Big respect to Susan for bringing together 2 print journals at the same time, especially at gorse standards. No mean feat.

gorse 13: taboo.

I am delighted that a short story that I wrote maybe 7 years ago has found its place in gorse 12, which has language as the theme. My piece is about roles and relationships, control, autonomy and linguistic identity. Thank you to Susan Tomaselli for including and editing.

Well I might not be at home to enjoy my @heykidsshop.bsky.social felt Alice on the tree this year but this book coming is a good present...

The final black_ops show in @taktentradio.bsky.social was an Underground masterclass. Hope we meet again in the airwaves. 🖤

A wee clip from Sunday's, Peruvian iteration of 'if trees were lone women what would they sound like' in the Jardín Botánico in Trujillo for the brilliant, new Festival de Mujeres Artistas. Great new contributions adding to the global community beyond language and borders for next time. More on IG.

I went to the Jardín Botánico in Trujillo yesterday to choose the trees and test the volume and range etc using audio from 2021 contributors. The Peruvian iteration of 'if trees were lone women what would they sound like' is happening this Sunday as part of the Munanqui Festival de Mujeres Artistas

Call out for this wonderful sound project in Peru! Details here or check out @archieislander.bsky.social for other info!

Really appreciate everyone who has shared this, it's a big thing to pull off in a week,especially across languages and cultural contexts, which is what we're doing, so all support from those involved, and not, has been hugely helpful on many levels, thank you.

I got to be part of this incredible, truly magical project and am thrilled to see it grow. Here's more info sanctuarylab.org/artists-2021...
