this is the 4th track on the new EP and it features the amazing playing of Patsy Reid on fiddle - she really took this to another level, it's probably my favourite track on here! 😀 #favourite #music #composition #collaboration #patsyreid #scotland malcolmmacfarlane.bandcamp.com/track/settin...

nice things being said about this - please have a listen! "quietly powerful without ever shouting for attention" #newmusic #originalmusic #now #news #newfolk #guitar

here's the 3rd track from the new EP - it's folk flavoured and uses a modal basis to sound a little more exotic (despite all the notes being simply from the Bb major scale), enjoy! 😀 #newmusic #folk #scottishmusic #mypointofview #composition #production malcolmmacfarlane.bandcamp.com/track/folk-h...

the 2nd track from the EP - very relaxed and meditative, enjoy! 😀 #newmusic #mindful #meditation #chill #relax #sea malcolmmacfarlane.bandcamp.com/track/calm-sea

this track was initially heading for the new solo album (which is due very soon) but I thought it fitted better on this collection - enjoy! 😀 #newmusic #guitars #album #composition #bandcamp #collection #production #daylight #themes malcolmmacfarlane.bandcamp.com/track/daylig...

absolutely!!!

World military spending hit a record 2.89 trillion dollars in 2025, more than half of it by just three countries, in the 11th year of rising budgets. Every dollar poured into tanks and missiles is a dollar stolen from climate action, renewables, healthcare and real human security.

My pay went up but somehow I'm paying more tax. Turns out the government has been running a stealth tax on working people for years without ever announcing it. Add your name now: the.organise.network/campaigns/pe...
