Take it from Siskin Green: if folk, faith, feminism or justice is your thing, Greenbelt might just be for you.

What difference would it make if we all stopped writing poetry?

Opening for Dan Whitehouse & Max ZT’s #TenSteps at @greennote.bsky.social on Wed 25 June is award-winning poet @jennymitchellgo.bsky.social whose powerful work explores ancestry, resilience & the Black British experience.

In a whitewashed room we see 3 musicians sitting playing together. On the left, Andy has short dark hair, wears a dark suit, and plays melodeon. On the floor to his left, sits another melodeon. In the middle, Martin has short silvery hair & beard, wears a dark suit, and plays guitar. On the floor to his right sits a banjo. On the right, Nancy has long dark hair with a blonde streak, wears a black dress & mauve tights, and plays fiddle.

A black & white photo of two men sitting on a bench infront of a whitewashed wall. The man on the right has short dark hair, wears a dark shirt, and has a guitar resting upright between his legs. The man on the left wears glasses and a pale coloured shirt, and clutches the neck of his guitar.

Kevin stands infront of an antique shop, wearing a casual grey hoody and dark sunglasses. He rests his right hand on an old-fashioned scooter, and his left hand on top of his guitar case.

Three women sit infront of a brick wall, playing traditional percussion and singing. All are dressed in black & white, and have long silvery hair.

Reg Meuross and band performing at Bush Hall

@regmeuross.bsky.social recently launched his new album, Fire and Dust, at Bush Hall in London, a new entry at #23 in the chart. Here's a live track from that gig, "The Gypsy Singer" www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFpt...

Must be nice to not be doing all the work!

One cold April morning She watches him leaving She waves at the window Then walks to the kitchen She makes herself coffee The TV man's talking His face is the same But his words have No meaning today Reg Meuross [Image: shades of pale silver blue]

A bathtub filled with broken tiles

Just sent the new album to Marcus the CD wizard, and now we're redoing the whole bathroom! Turns out ripping down tiles is the perfect antidote to weeks of clicking on tiny sliders...

UK folks, Marcus in Faversham is amazing:

Live Review: Reg Meuross, The Ropewalk, Ropery Hall, Barton-Upon-Humber – 20th March 2025 My first visit of the year to the Ropery Hall, Barton-Upon-Humber, finds the venue unsurprisingly full for Reg Meuross's return. Since his first solo album was released almost 30 years ago, Meuross has become widely regarded as one of this country's finest singer-songwriters. Recent years have seen him release a duo of thematic albums, initially with '12 Silk Handkerchiefs'
