My mother has foxes in living in her garden and every night they bring more things: children's toys, tin cans and so many balls...

Had to travel up to London for something yesterday and the old place was looking beautiful in the early evening sun. Here is the underbelly wonder of Blackfriars Bridge with St Paul's in the distance.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

Thursday night is Sairie Hour night. I know the world is a terrible place right now but come and hang out with us and escape it all for an hour.

Important update

We're playing a Sairie set at The Hope & Ruin, Brighton on Easter Sunday (20th) as part of an all dayer in support of the wonderful @slackcityradio.bsky.social if you're in Brighton come along and say hi!

We are recording the 12th episode of The Sairie Hour on Friday which means it will be our first birthday! So if anybody would like to send us anything - messages or ghost stories or any sort of Forteana please do!

I'm a huge fan of Bill Forsyth and I love Local Hero so I'm thrilled to say that I have written the music for a new Radio 4 adaptation which will be broadcast on April 27th bafflegab.co.uk/productions/...

Been working really hard and just finished a project so today I'm having some afternoon cat time

Just waiting for the train to head into town for this tonight. Looking forward to it

There's a new Sairie Hour tomorrow night. Following on from last month's theme of Death, this time, with spring knocking, we think about rebirth...

Living the life on the bed in the sun of early spring

Get on this! Fabulous bill and brilliant setting

Tonight at 10pm The Sairie Hour returns, this time on the subject of Death

We've reached double digits! Amazing to think

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds performing "From Her to Eternity" live in a July 1989 concert in Belgium. Title track to the 1984 album. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UyDq...

For some reason the internet is pitching me dog food every time I look at it and people keep following me on bluesky who seem to be all about dog food... I don't have a dog

One of my all time favourite films

This month the theme is horses. So snuggle up by the fire and join us

Going it alone at Lewes Psychfest

Really sorry to announce that Emma isn't very well and has lost her voice so Sairie won't be able to perform at Lewes Psychfest tonight. In will be performing a solo set instead... I'll do my best for everybody

Horses anybody?

I'd almost forgotten that we'd done this!

New Buddi single! This piece was written for the 'Christmas' episode. It wasn't overtly Christmas, more 'seasonal'. I was asked for something with a Finnish folk flavour so the main instrument is a Kantele. I wanted it to have a sort of folksy Charlie Brown feel. youtu.be/L4gZKVqZvqs?...
