Do yourself a favour and buy this limited edition double LP from one of the finest singers from these islands in many a decade - Julie Murphy. It’s just gorgeous from start to finish. Email Julie to order. Her website: juliemurphymusic.tumblr.com

Art Nouveau dining at Bouillon Julien, Paris. Just lovely. And so cheap! No wonder people we know have been coming here since the 1950s!

A selfie of James smiling directly at the camera - he is wearing a bright yellow T shirt, sunglasses and a blue baseball cap. He’s standing against a wall painted in vivid primary colours and looks content.
Hello all, haven’t posted for a while here. How are you getting on? I wore a yellow T shirt today. It’s not massive news.

Respect to this fella, Calum Gilligan. He opened the evening concert last night at Kimpton Folk Fest and blew everyone away with his beautiful voice. He’s decided to stop touring for the time being and shift career paths. But I’m sure you’ll hear him again somewhere! #folksinger #liverpool

I put a lot into this one. It might lift your spirits in this troubled week. It was certainly quite good for me to make it.

Teaching is underpaid generally, but for clarity may I point out that many weekend workshops pay artists more than £250 for a weekend, and the vast majority of professional musicians do not earn £1K per gig, John! I guess it comes down to how much you love it, really.
