Here’s @PaulMcCartney leaving the @cheeseandgrain tonight. No phones allowed inside (bliss). His set was absolutely incredible, I’m not ashamed to say I cried more than once. Still pinching myself 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. #frome is buzzing.

Off to play Canterbury tonight in the wonderful @TheGulbenkian. @Sam_Lakeman loves playing the Steinway grand there. There’s a few tickets, left so come along if you don’t have plans. x @FolkintheBarn

📰 Identical front page on every UK paper today, with homepage takeovers too. Only 2nd time this has happened. As editors and reporters we fear for the future of quality journalism - with unlawful scraping of content (theft) by AI firms. #MakeItFair inews.co.uk/opinion/made-i…

@DazedO @CaraDillonSings Thanks Steve, it’s been a very rewarding journey.

@CaraDillonSings @Sam_Lakeman Beautiful, Cara and Sam! You did an amazing job encapsulating in song the things you were told by Jeff in his story: it must've a proud moment for him. The theme of revitalization through nature is to me reminiscent of a song like "Distant Son" by Dougie Maclean.🌊💞 Well done!

“Flow” is officially released today!! I hope you like it. @Sam_Lakeman and I wrote it for the BBC series ‘21st Century Folk’ ❤️ orcd.co/m4n9eow

@J12enkinsL @CaraDillonSings Unfortunately, not for a while it seems 🙁

Heading to London with @Sam_Lakeman for a live interview with @theJeremyVine at 1pm to premier “Flow”, the song we wrote for Jeff Allen as part of ‘21st Century Folk’. 🤗@BBCRadio2 #21stcenturyfolk
