Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us β€” and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

P.S. Quick question… Is there a venue or festival you'd recommend us playing at? Our first confirmed gig is in Kidderminster (Worcestershire, UK) on 22 February next year, but we'd love to do lots more. Please let us know and we'll look into booking a gig there. We'll be stage-ready from December.

I'm Sorry...This New Artist Completely Sucks
YouTube video by Rick Beato I'm Sorry...This New Artist Completely Sucks

This scares and saddens me. It's not my thing, but it sounds good in a mass-appeal kind of way. Why bother learning how to play, sing or write music, when you can make a catchy radio-ready song in seconds? Maybe it's time I swapped the plectrums for gardening gloves.

Cover artwork for the 2025 album "Clockwork Tulpa", by Circu5. It shows a black & grey textured background, looking like cracked and charred tree bark. A thin multi-coloured ring is superimposed on the background. The band name appears in large white letters in the middle of the ring.

I confess I was woefully ignorant of this band until I saw folks waxing lyrical about the new album here on Bluesky. And they weren't wrong to praise it, because it really is excellent.
