@mothsgiraffes This reaction from you has surprised me, unless there’s a context here I’m missing? it’s so hard get new independent music out there, a massive achievement to get an audience engaged, so I guess I’m thinking, why not? A gig is never just a gig if you’re an artist 😉🫣🤔❤️

Seeing artists recording TikToks during their gigs now using the audience as participants. Can gigs just be gigs and not content? Come on 😩

Potterscrouch Plantation, St Albans is under threat from a golf course development! Home to some of our rarer #butterflies & #hertsbirds these beautiful woods are set to be manicured as an extension to the Centurion Golf Course on Hemel Hempstead Rd bit.ly/3Gui5B8 1/2

Can’t wait to play @LattitudeFest this morning at 12. Warming up early to play some chill songs in the sunshine. Be there early, as we might get a few more minutes and come home before 12.

@markjlong @RealTimBooth Absolutely agree. Was just talking about James this afternoon and how I’m saving the rewatching of ‘Getting away with it’ tour DVD )which I was fortunate to have also experienced as an audience member) for when I’m able to see the wood for the trees again 👋🥹🙏

@RealTimBooth How amazing Tim. Was the concert filmed as you hoped might be the case? Would be great to be able to see that down the line!

Magical near 2,000 year old venue in Athens tonight that bought out something very special in all of us. It took some adjusting to but will never forget it. 💚❤️

@markjlong @GeoffNorcott I agree completely. Read Geoff’s column this morning and was really moved by it. This sort of honesty, vulnerability is much needed ❤️👏

High quality @GeoffNorcott !! Hope this will be a regular slot!

LIVE @wearejames - Leicester De Montfort Hall "Here it's stripped back yet loses none of that magic, the tension and fear of the song felt even more intensely while the music still provides a counterbalance to the lyrics" eventhestars.co.uk/2023/07/james-…

Here we go...

@dogwooddays_nic Hi Nic 👋 I’ve got the spindle ermine moth caterpillars too on the spindle tree in my garden ❤️They’re such a favourite for the birds. Different to the ones which strip and kill bushes leaving a Halloween type effect though eh?

This is the opening track on our orchestral Gospel choir album coming out next week. I didn’t think we could better sometimes, this is, at least it’s equal. Enjoy

@dogwooddays_nic This is perfect! Thanks Nic ❤️

@Ninebarrow I know you’re in a different world down there 😍 it was indeed a beautiful May and June has also blessed us xx

@HelenMeissner Ah. 😂 Yes…we *do* know it’s June. This was taken last week and for some reason, didn’t get shared until today! 🤦‍♂️ But it was a nice May wasn’t it…?! 😉

Sunlight through the silver birch on the edge of Upton Heath. We really are enjoying a fab May aren’t we?! 😎

@Ninebarrow Defo later 😊

Hawthorn above Kimmeridge is looking totally brilliant this week. Is it flowering later than usual, or is it just us? 🤔

@dogwooddays_nic I can’t believe it. I decided that I needed to put this on my bucket list this morning when I realised where I could find one 😍

✨PARIS HEADLINE SHOW✨ i'll be returning to your lovely city in October! grab your tickets at elliedixon.lnk.to/bio - can't wait to come back already ✨

@samliddicott I bought it when it was released 😅😎

On 6th June, The Cars' eponymous debut album turns forty-five. Among the greatest albums of the '70s, I spend some time with a true classic. With one of the strongest opening trio of songs ever, this album is a must-own: musicmusingsandsuch.com/musicmusingsan…
