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 😁

A long trip to St Neots Folk Club with a short overnight kip in the car in a lay-by on the way home (hot night, windows and boot wide open!) . Lovely to hear some classical guitar as a floor spot between our sets 😁🎶🎶

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Thanks, we’re really looking for input from musicians on the subject of additional income streams. We’ve noticed a lot of performing artists are also visual artists which is why we posed the question. 😁🎶
