Good news was got a nice deal on my email accounts. Bad news was about an hour trying to reconfigure the account settings on my Mac as I could send emails. Oh well, itโ€™s a win in the end๐Ÿ™‚

@british-birds.bsky.social thought you might be interested in hearing the song @miltonhide.bsky.social wrote about the reintroduction of the chough to Kent (linked with the Thomas Beckett blood myth).

Why not include a couple of middle aged, middle class contemporary folkies. @miltonhide.bsky.social would love to be featured Iโ€™m sure. Something different.

Apologies to Chevy C10 fans. The illustration is only โ€œbasedโ€ on the dash of a โ€˜65 and isnโ€™t meant to be an accurate representation.

Album cover designed for the wonderful Hatful of Rain. I loved working on this and coming up with the concept with the client. Worked so well using Milanote.com as a mood board.
Let me know if I can work with you. #album #oldtime #sleevedesign

Maybe so. Except that Farage has picked up many traditional Labour voters, so in theory there could be a swing back.

It was worth spending time sorting out the issue we had with our online shop. It meant I discovered exciting new colours and ranges to add to our t-shirt designs ๐Ÿ˜

The mass media news coverage of Kneecap and Bob Vylanโ€™s Glastonbury performances is an insult. The sickest of jokes when this (itโ€™s hard not to call it genocide) is still going on.

Short but, oh sooo sweet. One of the recordings that makes me love the traditional folk songs of England. Classic early folk rock. X

Playing small gigs as an independent artist has its ups and downs - sometimes a full noise might be 30 people. Weโ€™ve played to smaller audiences and weโ€™ve played in from of hundreds. But each gig brings at least one very special memory. Great looking back with @miltonhide.bsky.social
