I'll be making my way back to the Colne Valley in April for a festival surrounding World Curlew Day.

Not often you're billed with David Gray on a day billing.

This should sell out pretty soon.

Until the end of this month, I'm doing a few bundle offers on Prints, vinyl, tea towels and CDs ✨️

I'm in the midst of a clear out, to make way for a new single release and album in the next 12 months.

Some of the savings are almost 50%

The Arteries of Europe Unassumingly ambling through a forest East of Cologne, I stumbled upon something unexpectedly that got my heart racing.

An unexpected ramble on one of Europe's longest hiking routes prompted these thoughts...

In a sweaty basement in Glasgow, as the freezing winds of winter were approaching in November, I performed a Gathering South Session.

Live tracks of that show with some writings are up on Patreon. Thank you all for the continued support l, it really means a lot.

An Open Love Letter to the Danish Postal Service With one week remaining on my two and a half week European Tour, I am relishing a rare, unheard of opportunity on tours.

I was pretty shocked when I found this out. So here's my response to the Danish on this tour...

The Lore of the Pre-Digital Era I’m lucky enough to be hurtling towards my forties at an ever-increasing speed.

As a Millennial approaching my forties, I look back on the pre-digital era and maybe, just maybe, take influence from those times.

Would love to hear what you may be doing to go more ‘analogue’…

I don't think there is to be honest, Right to Roam regional groups are generally quite instagram facing... the Sheffield group has email newsletter

A Meeting of Minds and Boots... I'll walk where I will, over mountain and hill...

In contrast to last week's Spine Race, Right to Roam Sheffield & NW spent a day of intuitive rambling around the rump of Kinder.

Like the Sheff & Manc ramblers of the 19th and 20th century, we follow in their legacy, symbolically meeting at Kinder to open a new chapter in @righttoroam.bsky.social

Today, we hosted a three hour collaborative social walk around the edge of Kinder Scout between Right to Roam Sheffield x Right to Roam NW.

In the footsteps of those from both sides of the Peaks who fought for access, we aim to strengthen links between our groups for 2026! @righttoroam.bsky.social

Looking back at the year's highlights, month by month on Patreon, the obvious one that stands out is walking the Pennine Way.

But a personal one, was making the move to Sheffield, the folky capital of the UK. I haven't felt at home in a place for a long time, and whenever I'm away, I miss it.

A Christmas Day tradition for me.

To visit my favourite stone circle for a blustery, atmospheric moorland yomp. Today, it was FREEZING winds.

What Christmas Day traditions do you do?
