Played a 14th‑century tune in the woods. The oak listened. The acorn answered. Recorded on the solstice. This part of the medley is called L'homme Armé. Early mix from The Acorn Bride

Playing this ancient tune through for the first time before I record in a week or two for the Acorn Bride album. It's called L'homme Armé. It'll be a duet between steel and nylon when I'm done, part of a medley. Pulling strands together from the wild wood. The fey do not rest on the dark nights.

The abandoned church within the deserted village of Embleton, had a foray over there a few weeks ago. The atmosphere is quite something. A gentle melancholy. Not allowed in the churchyard, chained off, I got this pic through railings. I was looking for inspiration and think I found it

#folk-baroque #folkhorrormusic A new shade settles over The Acorn Bride. The acoustics still tell the tale, but three songs now hum with an undercurrent — as if something in the trees has woken like a lantern spirit at dusk, colouring 3 tracks with uncanny fire.

Thirty seconds of work‑in‑progress on 'Variation on a Theme by Magnet' from the new album, 'The Acorn Bride'. A melody moves beneath the surface almost but not quite revealing itself. Tell me what you sense. @folkhorrorrevival.bsky.social will get this straightaway... youtu.be/7-KJfTPIy_c?...

I’m recording a new album called The Acorn Bride. It’s a blend of folk‑baroque, dark classical guitar, and original pieces inspired by English folklore and old modal traditions.I’ll be sharing the journey as I finish the remaining tracks over the next few months.More soon. #fingerstyle #folkmusic

This is my record. Taken me 43 years to learn how to play this. Since watching it as a kid and fumbling on an old Spanish guitar with strings that had never been changed since #ThePrisoner first aired in 1966/7. #fingerstyle #classicalguitar youtu.be/iaUiiP4ydSg?...

I really don't post as often here as I should, here's my latest video. youtu.be/QwKFOsEMdw0 You'll all know it. It has a gentle and mysterious quality to it. Gymnopodie No 1 by Erik Satie. #classicalguitar

Here's a piece of music to still your quivering heart at this ghoulish time of year. Find a space, and remember an age without the internet. An age of alchemy, of leather bound books and quills. Of courtly dancing and grace. youtu.be/iVJxviw9dwk?... #renaissance #classicalguitar

I've always loved this time of year. It was the darker fairy tales that drew me to horror in books, films and music. Here's my paean to a world of weird. #Halloweenmusic #classicalguitar #folkhorror Most of the pieces have never been arranged for solo guitar before. youtu.be/uHfjx5WqKx4?...
