Forgetting To Live, by Milton Hide track by Milton Hide

Here’s the link to the new track, which seems to not be working on our original post: miltonhide.bandcamp.com/track/forget...

We have been overwhelmed with the number of people downloading our music since our last post. Thank you so much for your support! It’s just the boost needed to keep on writing songs 😁❤️

To coincide with @bandcamp.com Friday we released Forgetting To Live. A song about our over reliance on Social Media. (We do get the irony by the way ;-)

Have a listen and let us know what you think. #bandcampfriday #klezmer style #satire

Feeling festive after tree decorating with help from a 2 year old and showing him twinkly lights on the way home. Ready for our festive Bluebell Roots gig on Sunday.

On Friday, Milton Hide moved back to our spiritual home of Hastings, after being away for 35 years! This morning we wandered down to the old town, said ´hello’ to loads of people and breathed in the sea air😁❤️

The beauty of our Bluebell Roots nights is not just the wonderful music ( thank you @chriscleverley.bsky.social) or the delicious food, it’s the amazing people all brought together through music.

Yesterday in the sunshine we finally scattered the ashes of this little guy’s best friend/arch enemy. He’s been our shadow since the day we said goodbye.
