I’ve written a little piece for Science & Magic as part of a series I’m doing called the Cult Continuum. This issue I’ve written about The Rebel (1961) starring Tony Hancock. www.violetterecords.com/science-and-...

Super Furry Animals were great last night. What a back catalogue! Seen them dozens of times (including Dutchess of York in 1995 with only 20’people watching). Also got to shake the hand of @marcrileydj.bsky.social Top night all round!

Hi… I wrote a small piece about the music and cultural magic going on in Todmorden in the latest edition of Science and Magic violetterecords.com/science-and-...

I’ve written a small piece in this week’s Science&Magic about an artist whose work I hold very dear; Michael Hurley. It’s part of a 7 part series I’ve called the Cult Collective. You can read it here: www.violetterecords.com/science-and-...

This is insane! Woke up to hundreds of messages

Wow!!!

Wife’s birthday so had a fun day at Delamere forest and the food with the family. A great day topped off by hearing Conor Moore’s amazing single Olustee on @marcrileydj.bsky.social Album out in 2 weeks on Hollow Geature Records @hollowgesture.bsky.social

Weird/cool/surprising … someone has uploaded by bbc6music session on YouTube? Thanks whoever you are! youtu.be/gmjBfmzLFAI

It’s Bandcamp Friday and I’m contractually obliged to inform you my 2 albums (including my brand spanking new one) and EP are available + label mate D. West hollowgesturerecords.bandcamp.com/music

White Denim on @cerysmatthews.bsky.social this morning? I dont think I’ve heard them outside of @marcrileydj.bsky.social … sounding glorious.

This is a snippet of one of the songs from my new album out on Friday. The album’s available to buy here mhaiux.bandcamp.com #fingerstyleguitar #americanprimitiveguitar

New release day. A Quiet Collapse Improvised and gloriously unpolished I’m only putting it out Bandcamp… yeah … that’s right

I have a small Bandcamp only release on Friday. It’s an album called ‘A Quiet Collapse’ and is improvised selection of songs recorded over 3 nights in November. It’s proudly unpolished and intimate.

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social ahhh Washington Phillips… cheering me up on the wet and grey morning.

I released a “festive inspired” EP last year called “The Cold Nights of Late December”. This is my favourite song from it called St Joseph. #mhaiux #christmasmusic

Rather chuffed and surprised to be featured in today’s Bandcamp Daily about British instrumental guitarists. Thanks Bandcamp! daily.bandcamp.com/lists/new-so...

Out now open.spotify.com/track/6eyjer...

D. West’s Path to the Black Lodge: Sparse, hypnotic and beautifully strange. Single out 24 Oct → from Cathedrals Beneath the Black Mountain (7 Nov). Pre-orders now open on Bandcamp

Pleased to announce D. West ‘Cathedrals Beneath the Black Mountain’ will be released on 7th November on @hollowgesture.bsky.social

Instead of concentrating on finishing off next couple of records I have expanded our micro label (hollow gesture) and will be releasing an album by Denver based musician D.West. He’s the real deal. His single Blue Spider II is released on 22/08/25

I don’t do too many gigs but gearing myself up for the new album (released next Feb) starting with this…

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Sad times. RIP the brilliant Michael Hurley.

I adore this song. A standard on many of my playlist/mixtapes/CDs.

Last gig for a while whilst I work on album2. Come along and say hi

Tickets for Beta Band purchased. Very pleasing

Gig on Friday. The venue looks stunning, the other artists are amazing and I’ll be on form

Tonight!

Stage times for Sunday accompanied by a photo of me pretending to play guitar in my garden

Currently out for a walk in the drizzle and listening to @bbc6 and delighted/surprised to hear Silver Apples ‘Walkin’ Love this song. Nice one @djdebgrant.bsky.social

Sunday…

This…

Wow. Clara Mann in session for @marcrileydj.bsky.social has just stopped me in my tracks. Spellbinding

Sorry! Wrong date for Marsden… It’s this Sunday (23rd)

I have a few gigs coming up. I’ll be bringing my own chair. Come along if you can

If you haven’t heard/purchased the new album by Richard Dawson yet then you’re really missing out. I’ve had it on loop since yesterday morning and in my humble opinion, it is his best yet. Lyrically it is so immersive im losing myself into the characters on each listen

Excited to be playing in such a cool place! Tickets here www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/blue-moon-...

Next gig alert! In the picturesque village of Marsden (between Manchester and Huddersfield- but in the ‘right’ side of Yorkshire border Sunday gig - early start and early finish! Perfecto

Thanks to everyone who was at the gig last night. Really enjoyed it and was great to meet and see Nev Clay who was brilliant and lovely on and off stage. Met a number of people who said they heard my music via @djdebgrant.bsky.social and @marcrileydj.bsky.social so big thanks!

My son thinks I can’t be sigma as my YouTube channel on has 19 subscribers and ‘Weirdo’ only has 431 views. Therefore to help me reach sigma status please see: youtu.be/D4jLQx8K1P4?...

#nevclay youtu.be/LeedCP_MOIk?...

I first heard Nev Clay in session for @marcrileydj.bsky.social in Nov and he was great. There are only 3 tickets left for his gig at @violetterecords.com this Tues alongside amazing artists and a shitehawk playing instrumental guitar (me) Don’t miss out www.violetterecords.com/news/societa53

Doing some reconnaissance at Ten Street Social. It’s a big ole space! Also these on every table :-)

As I may have mentioned a few times… I have a gig coming up on 28th. It’ll be my first gig since Dec 06. It’ll be my first solo gig. Can’t wait. Had my first ‘gig anxiety’ dream last night so gig must be soon.

Lil snippet from ‘Two Boats Lay Ready’ from my debut album

'Fahey’s gift is being able to sound like more than one person... his melodies so bright and clear and implausibly coming from one pair of hands, that there seems to be no need for a voice at all.' #JohnFahey’s Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death, 60 Years On buff.ly/4a7uBo6

You still have time to listen back to the OLD Music Fix shows I put together over Christmas, featuring weird old music from the dustier corners of my collection & a gorge live session from M Haiux and a brilliant mix from Death is Not The End! Go get it before it goes into the big BBC incinerator!

My love for this album hasn’t waned. It’s sublime #charlespoppybobwalker
