Arctic Circle

Well we helped organise YAH, so hopefully if the festival returns (which we're working on) we return with it!

We're at 5%. The fundraising unfortunately needs to continue. We have enough for a few more Daylight Music events in the coming months (details tba) but then our future depends on the generosity of our supporters. Can you add something to get us nearer our goal?

Throughly enjoying myself at You Are Here. Heading back to Canterbury for Day 2…

We've helped organise a very ambitious festival that begins today in Canterbury. Daylight takes over the Sunday with our friends from Lost Map. www.youarehere.xyz

My radio show for Margate Radio (3pm) on Sunday is not only the 49th Edition but I think one of my best. I shall be in two places at once though. At that moment I shall be introducing Dominie Hooper in Canterbury!

Never a big Narnia guy but this 6 seconds typifies everything I love about British television.

Bre, by John Derek Bishop 12 track album

Today I'm a little obsessed with Tortusa. I mean it's geniuenly without genre. Supposed in jazz, but just crossing everything. It's just beautiful music. johnderekbishop.bandcamp.com/album/bre

14.00 SPOTIFY THE DOG Where • is Spotify? Is he in the kennel? No. Is he under the bed? No. Is he • on the chair? No. Oh, there he is, look! He's behind an ever-increasing monthly fee and dubious artist reimbursement model. Clever boy.

Monday innit.

Back on the 330th Edition of Daylight Music on 15th February 2020 @unionchapeluk.bsky.social we celebrated Love in all it's different and many forms. Here is some of the promo collages made to promote the afternoon. A little bit of a love letter perhaps to the chapel our home for 10+ years.
