'The Bridge' by Brian Willoughby and David Cousins is re-released today. Mary sings on four tracks. Dave played on her second Apple album 'Earth Song/Ocean Song' and then Brian joined Mary on live shows including a New Zealand tour and the Festival Hall in London. www.amazon.co.uk/Bridge-Cousi...

Currently enjoying Suzanne Lynch's book 'Yesterday When I Was Young'. Having just got to the part where Suzanne and her new husband Bruce Lynch meet Mary and her new husband Tony Visconti (both husbands being bass players) I thought I'd share it here. - JLM www.suzannelynch.co.nz/book-yesterd...

This gorgeous 4-track EP features songs by Mary and Benny together, either sung or written. Either way, they're gems. spacerecords.greedbag.com/buy/when-wil...

It's our dear friend Benny Gallagher's birthday today! He met Mary as a staff writer with Apple Records along with Graham Lyle. They wrote some beautiful songs for Mary. Please enjoy this lovely chat that Mary and Benny had some years ago. Happy Birthday, Benny! www.mixcloud.com/SpaceStudios...

Just goes to show you can't believe everything you see on the internet:

Thank you for the review! Yes, @morganvisconti.bsky.social remastered it but the tape degradation still affects the last couple of tracks very slightly. Still magical though :-) spacerecords.square.site/product/fest...

Jessica and Chris performed the whole of the 'Live at the Royal Festival Hall 1972' set on their live streamed shows. In honour Mary performing on this day, here they are! youtu.be/BuL_ZtM11KI?...

On this day in 1972, @maryhopkin.bsky.social , Tony Visconti, Brian Willoughby, Danny Thompson and The Pop Arts String Quartet gathered in The Royal Festival Hall to support Ralph McTell. In 2005 we released it as an album, launching our label. Remastered in 2021 by @morganvisconti.bsky.social.

The only reason I (Jessica) understand this is because I emailed them all my answers... but lovely to 'chat' to Llio about music and working with my lovely Ma, Mary. I did learn Welsh at uni and have forgotten much of it. www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/ert...

A wonderful collaboration indeed!

A very happy birthday to my lovely mother Mary. Here we are, eating and drinking the weekend away. She thanks you for all the lovely birthday wishes. She has a beautiful garden and is very proud of her wisteria which is raining blossoms into our cakes. -Jessica

Mary's favourite of her Apple albums. Produced by Tony Visconti, with whom she later produced @morganvisconti.bsky.social and @jessicaleemorgan.bsky.social. Also featuring Danny Thompson, Ralph McTell and David Cousins. Masterpiece.

And here is the beautiful video (and song): www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNI-...

Margam Iron and Steel Works in Port Talbot, Wales. Shot during the filming of @maryhopkin.bsky.social's The Earth Turns video. I haven’t tried uploading a split panorama here but hopefully you can slide between the photos to get the full effect. #photography #industrial

The playlist for my online tour is here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Today is two shows! One at 12pm and one at 8pm (GMT), with book readings before and documentaries on the album after. Today's book readings cover #InternationalWomensDay, consent, fans and Holy Holy! See ya there!

On International Women's Day, I stand up for women in the music industry. Here's a chapter from my book, in which I talk about the strong women who have survived this business, youtu.be/86sU3VzlMkQ #womeninmusic #internationalwomensday

On International Women's Day, please have a listen to Mary's song 'Single Woman' from her album Another Road. Recorded with Jessica and Chris, who play guitar, sax and bass, and Mary played everything else... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASpp... #InternationalWomensDay

Woo hoo. I finally got my Spotify artist page claimed and organized ahead of a forthcoming solo album. Also featured here are several collaborations with @maryhopkin.bsky.social and @jessicaleemorgan.bsky.social Ihttps://open.spotify.com/artist/4HC1rMcgEH5jNVY1C9A8Al?si=mo827JeQT5ONNnHsAIgTVA

Proofread by Mary, and especially the parts that mention her ;-) Pre-order here: spacerecords.square.site

Thanks, Joanie, your support means the world to us!

Good company! @maryhopkin.bsky.social does her own beautiful album covers. www.maryhopkin.com/albums/valen...

Certainly is.

Mary and Brian Eno sang the line together.

Mary's got that look on her face... ;-)

'Alone' is particularly suited to cold winter nights. I can picture a house, dark, moonbeams shining through tall windows, and a solitary pianist... Some stunning composition and performance here from @maryhopkin.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CLH...

One of Mary's favourites, and ours too, from 'Doodling', is 'Jamaican Rum'. Full of energy and powerful vocals, it conjures up an exciting carnival scene, maybe some intrigue hidden within... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItQA...

Behind the scenes at Mary Hopkin Music! Mary, Jessica and Chris talk about the making of 'Doodling', from Mary's studio. www.mixcloud.com/SpaceStudios...

Happy Digital Doodling Day! Cheer up the January Jitters with sweet melodies and voluminous vocals from @maryhopkin.bsky.social Downloading from here is best (for us): spacerecords.greedbag.com/buy/doodling... But you can use your own favourite legal streaming service... if you must!

Wishing you all a Heavenly 2025! Morgan composed this divine track which was included on 'A Christmas Chorale'. Mary, Morgan and Jessica sing together. youtu.be/nJjeAJ7yiIA?... @maryhopkin.bsky.social @morganvisconti.bsky.social @jessicaleemorgan.bsky.social

'Doodling' has reached our Japanese friends! The digital release is planned for 3rd January. You can order a CD here: spacerecords.square.site

Mary Had A Baby! With slightly altered lyrics from the original 1972 version, when Mary really did have a baby! Tony Visconti was involved in both baby and this recording ;-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWnt...

Thanks @nation.cymru! Doodling is well-received so far. Nadolig Llawen!

Totally unprompted press coverage from Nation Cymru. How nice! I hadn't even done any PR! nation.cymru/culture/thos...

Mary and Joseph were walking through a Cherry orchard one day when Mary drops some big news and Joseph goes off in a huff. But it's ok, they make up. This is @maryhopkin.bsky.social and Tony Visconti from way back when. Merry Christmas Eve everyone! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEoU...

Just sent out a Christmas newsletter, the basic gist of which is: THANK YOU ORDER CDS MERRY CHRISTMAS! Here are some of the crew that work at our independent record label. Yes, they have ID badges. spacerecords.square.site

It's very nearly the big day. Some people are still running around the shops for prezzies. @maryhopkin.bsky.social comments in 'Snowed Under' on the true meaning of Christmas in the face of rampant commercialism. youtu.be/kyMT7MVJXIk?...

Sing and Rejoice with @maryhopkin.bsky.social, @jessicaleemorgan.bsky.social and @morganvisconti.bsky.social. Mary wrote this madrigal. A Christmas Chorale was mostly recorded in 2020 and released that year. It was lovely to sing together as we couldn't be together. youtu.be/bujH9acY3u8?...

If anyone is of a musically technical mind, @christianthomas.bsky.social has blogged about the challenges of mixing three voices that have very similar characteristics! He mixes for Mary and Jessica and does a most wonderfully patient job of it too. www.maryhopkin.com/blogs/CT-Blo...

'Lullay My Liking': traditional words are set to music by Gustav Holst. Here, @maryhopkin.bsky.social , @morganvisconti.bsky.social and @jessicaleemorgan.bsky.social are singing together... Mother, Son, Daughter. youtu.be/3RpWmaONDWg?...

Today's moment of peace and beauty is accompanied by 'Suai'r Gwynt', sung by @maryhopkin.bsky.social and @jessicaleemorgan.bsky.social . Lyrics by Welsh poet Nantlais and music by Haydn Morris. youtu.be/QS1b9r8fZIg?...

Go on, @maryhopkin.bsky.social, you'd say 'boo' to a goose now, wouldn't you?

Just in case anyone didn't know. I (Mary and Tony's daughter) heard this in a restaurant the other day and it always makes me smile. Here's Mary's story about singing with Brian Eno (for he is in there too). www.maryhopkin.com/blogs/MH-Int...

The annual roll-out ;-) Would sound great though!
