Just to say we'll be at the finest of all Wiltshire pubs, @thebarge_honeystreet @campingatthebarge on the 30/8/25 for the @floatingfayre. We'll be playing in the pub from about 9pm, but there's live music all day, plus the market.

Live at Glastonbury 2025, playing Spinning Jenny, a classic English triple hornpipe. Good old Rimski's Yard. Many thanks to @rimskihandkerchief as always for hosting with style and grace. We're going to miss it during the fallow year.

Glastonbury set times for you! Bringing the og Wessex Soundsystem Trad Folk Rave vibe once again, this time with a new expanded line-up. We're running on festival time, so hopefully you'll get that Saturday night 12.30am is technically Sunday morning.

toomajofficial "Evacuate Tehran" is nothing more than a populist slogan meant to later claim: "We didn't intend to kill Iranian civilians; they just refused to leave the war zone."
But how are over 9 million people - without fuel, often without enough savings to relocate, and with no second home in another city - supposed to evacuate Tehran?
If your intention is to kill the people of Iran, at least have the honesty not to hide the burden of that responsibility.
Your war is not with the people of Iran. If you attack them, you are, in truth, killing hostages.
And you know very well that such a crime will plant seeds of hatred that could deprive generations - both ours and yours β€” of the peace and calm we all long for.
No child should become a victim of decisions made by politicians hiding behind the iron walls of their palaces.

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement.

Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

At Metheral #StoneCircle, recently rediscovered last year by Alan Endacott. Most of the stones are hidden in the grass and peat of Taw Marsh, but the setting between Metheral Hill and Oke Tor, overlooked by Steeperton Tor is striking. #Dartmoor #Hiking #RightToRoam #Wildcamping #Neolithic #BronzeAge

This is why the pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology/pseudohistory crap needs purged from the media. It's not just Graham Hancock making a quick buck on Netflix, it's normalizing crap to the point it justifies absolute stupidity.

Whistling Treason live rig looking nice and colourful. 2 launchpads controlling Ableton, midi mixer, DS01 Dubsiren, UA Dream65 pedal, digital mixer, and a Wasaphone mic. Really love the Wasaphone at the moment for its vintage distorted vocal vibes.

I'm starting to see a fair few videos of artists trying to crowd surf, stage-diving into crowds so preoccupied with filming them on their phones that they fail to catch them. Their painful humiliation is captured from multiple camera angles.

Yesterday met a man whose entire life had been destroyed by a transplant during the infected blood scandal. He reckoned it would have taken 54 years by the time he'd received compensation. He said, "People think this is an honourable country. It's a lie, it's not." I had to agree.

I'm reminded of the snarky musician's joke: "How do you know someone studied at Dartington ? Don't worry, they'll tell you".

Well, it may not be much of a photo, but this is by way of saying that the Whistling Treason #12v HedgeRig #Soundsystem is open for business. Got a new sub wired in, and woah we're cooking. Fender Passport speakers never sounded so good. I can not wait to host a hedgerow #party !

How did we get to the situation where some people have so much money that they're prepared to throw down Β£5k to buy a Β£45 starter ukulele? Just how ignorant are they ? It's not as if Jeff Beck was known for his uke playing. The auction was yesterday. Today that uke is back to being worth Β£45.

In other news I was watching yesterday's Jeff Beck #auction at Christies, where collectors were losing their minds. A Mahalo Flying V #ukulele is worth Β£45 right ? RIGHT ? How can this possibly be worth Β£5040, when it's doubtful #JeffBeck sat around playing such a low quality instrument.

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement:
Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect?
Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse?
Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?
