…we were talking about Best Album/Reissue/Compilation/Soundtrack/New Discovery of the year. For me, this, by @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social is the compilation of the year. Nearly 3 hours of psychedelic music I'd never heard before. Just wonderful. richardnorris.bandcamp.com/album/mr-nor...

Seasons Greetings and a Happy Neu Year!

Instagram has had my account on hold for a month now, alongside my facebook site pages, my label pages, and the official page for The Grid. I set up a new Instagram page, explaining that I've been taken down for no reason I can see. Instagram has banned that page, too. Is it something that I said?

A highlight of 2025 is another 12 months of incredible music by @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social Here's an 11-piece, 90-minute Dubhed selection to wet your whistle. dubhed.blogspot.com/2025/12/like...

In case you missed it, here's Simon Armitage's 'Dear Pink Floyd' with my music, recorded by us recently in London, to accompany the new Wish You Were Here box set. www.pinkfloyd.com/dear-pink-fl... #pinkfloyd #simonarmitage #wishyouwerehere #dearpinkfloyd

Three weeks in, I’m still banned from Instagram and Facebook for no reason. They say this will be sorted within ‘one day’, but I am still waiting. No discourse, no contact. The good thing is I am being weened off Meta and I lime it.

For all your 12” remix of ‘Hello’ needs…

Having been blocked by Facebook and Instagram for no reason I can think of, this may be the only place to contact me for now. All those years of photos, stories, friends and contacts, wiped out with absolutely zero explanation. Including my Grid profiles. I’m appealing, but why does this happen?

I was fortunate to work with Simon Armitage recently, providing music for his track 'Dear Pink Floyd', which is being released as part of the box set of Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here.'
