A junk shop roll of found photos so old the text from the backing paper has etched in over the years. Kodacolor II was made from 1973 to the early 80s and the clothes/space-age garden furniture seem to say 70s. Transmissions from a lost world.

Iโ€™ve got so many gigs coming up; if I had an agent theyโ€™d be looking at upwards of ยฃ20/month right now.

Great thread covering what I'd have mentioned but I'd add Bridget Hayden & the Apparitions - Cold Blows the Rain as genuinely brilliant contemporary folk-rock.

There's a great discussion in this about the distinction between being legally *allowed* to walk on an area of land and feeling confident in your right to do so, and/or welcome.
