Mabfest

Another hot one, but some shade and breeze was found on the woodland trails around Attingham Park.

Beauty & the beast in the garden, this morning.

My most recent gig was with @greggmckella.bsky.social at #widstock in Derbyshire. His new album is great and it was lovely playing a little fast and loose with those songs. Hopefully, we’ll get a chance for something even more ‘seat of yer pants’ and improvised at @kozfest.bsky.social

Had a nice choogle about the Welsh seaside village of #fairbourne yesterday. I visited here several times other 80s, but had never ventured up to the northerly bit that faces Barmouth til this. Pleasant, fresh air beside the seaside

Well, since losing my phone (well, getting it wet in the sea), My Blue Sky app has been dormant for 2 months. I’m back, to just 2 notifications. You really missed me then.

Oops! A fledgling great tit. Crashed into our kitchen window with a bump. On opening the back door to investigate I inadvertently let the dazed thing into the house for a flutter about, before gently grabbing it and returning it to the outside world. I’m guessing that there was a parent watching

A walk on a beach veered into a nearby wood, which became a path… which led into the grounds of Plas Newydd stately home. I sat and drew a garden pavilion for a minute which became an hour

Last night I was up in Leek, Staffordshire playing hand percussion with Darmus, at the Foxlowe Arts Centre again. This time, opening for psychedelic groovers Helicon and pop art mod things Crystal Teardrop. A great venue, cool crew and promotor.

I’d almost forgotten I’d still got this old 70s Premier chrome snare. I won’t have played this for about a decade, cos that’s when Glowpeople called it a day. I thought I’d use it for a little while today I started recording drums for a few new Thought Bubble tracks we currently have on the go.

My next gig will be in Leek, Staffordshire, in the opening band with the lovely #crystalteardrop who I’ve seen at Kozfest and will be also playing #sonicrocksolstice and a band who’re now a massive draw #helicon #psychrock

Last night in the White Horse, Peckham. We had a supper spicy meal - and enjoyed a surprisingly groovy and dubby local jam band.

Today, we battled the an unnaturally hot day to reach White Cube Gallery in Masons Yard, #stjameslondon for a huge dazzling, pop art #exhibition by Sarah Morris #highlyrecommend #abstract #abstractart #londongallery

This shot is ten years old.

Lovely Peckham

I’ve really enjoyed witnessing the evolution of Thought Bubbles sound over their last few releases! “Who’s To Say?” see’s them really step into their sound in a big way! Live on the blog now! staticsoundsclub.com/2026/04/04/t...
