HUGE thanks to all who made our sold-out night at Chequers Folk so special. A packed barn, warm hosts and the ever-brilliant Wick Trimmers. Special shout to near-saint Colin for rescuing me and my gear. What a night!

Lovely to find @charliedore.bsky.social on here. I last saw her at the wonderful Neil Innes tribute last year. She's back with her own tour, visiting Colchester next

β€˜Collateral’ (from Like Animals, 2020) how lust for power can overwrite empathy. For people whose brain is wired this way anyone blocking their path becomes collateral

Julian Littman & I wrote this as a comment on certain players at that point, but the lyric still applies

Genevieve Plays Folk #74 16 March 2024 When are the Carrivick Sisters not the Carrivick Sisters? When Charlotte has a solo album, but sister Laura also plays on it. You can hear the result in this week’s podcast. Another gem to listen out ...

Interested in a little light folk music with added Charlie Dore?

Love this ...suits your voice perfectly. Great to hear it so stripped down, almost as if it was written to be exactly that way.πŸ‘Œ

The effect of an unrestricted AI on all aspects of musical creation. Eloquently explained by @anneliesemidgleymp.bsky.social But it doesn't stop there. Every area of artistic endeavor is now under threat from big business and the obsession with money-saving AI : i.e. profit at any cost.

Glad to find you on here where the air's a little clearer & cooler. I'm sure there's a rhyme in there somewhere.

Nashville summer 1978, recording the first album at Crazy Mama studio, produced by Audie Ashworth the kindest man in Nashville. Not sure why Julian Littman & I look so worried... maybe we'd just had a premonition about downloading. Julian's Birthday today! Still 21 at heart ⭐⭐ ❀❀

As it’s a special time of year we’ll be playing some songs that involve going up as far as the 7th fret (used to be the 8th but that kind of insurance is hard to get these days - even for a fabulous night in the β™₯️ of London)

Hola Ron, I'm erring on the cautious side too. My first day out on these pages today, but so far it looks pretty cool. Lots of good people and so far no one standing on the hosepipe.🀞
