It’s a year since Wild Twin won the TLS Ackerley Prize. This evening at Foyles I get to open the envelope and announce this year’s winner. Hopefully they’re not like this idiot and they remember to pay the cheque into their bank account.
I stand emotionally defenceless before these songs. Nearly 40 years of listening and still nothing can disassemble me any quicker. “The temptation To take the precious things we have apart To see how they work Must be resisted for they never fit together again”

I wrote about my years living in this house for my Magnetic North column in the 19th edition of Science & Magic, the Violette Records magazine. Nice piece about Jimmy Campbell by Fiona Bird too, plus Mike Stoddart on Atticus bookshop. Link: www.violetterecords.com/science-and-...
Today is Ghost Town’s 6th birthday. The children on the cover are my grandmother Dorothy and her brother Tom in the early 1900’s. This book changed my life as did my wonderful publisher @littletollerbooks.bsky.social More about the book here: www.littletoller.co.uk/shop/books/l...

The Great Frontier — Ghost Parachute
By morning, we dug ourselves a trench. And hung photos in the dirt, old posters from our bedrooms, framed within the mud. We paced the few feet back and forth, crouching so no one could see our bobbin...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Good morning. Coffee in hand. Bob Dylan on repeat. There is something about his voice in the early hours that feels like a companion. One more cup, one more reason to slow down and listen. Some mornings just belong to Dylan. #GoodMorning #BobDylan #Desire #WritersLife #CoffeeAndWords #Booksky

I've lived in lots of houses, lots of places, but I don't think I've ever lived in a detached house - no neighbours. I'm only just coming to terms with how loud I can crank up the music when I'm here alone, it's curiously effective at rolling back the years, and at 70 that's something of a blessing.

Things I saw from the highway today: Mist rising from irrigation canals The new sun like a furious eye between lids of cloud A crow perched on a warning sign, indifferent to what it might portend A white egret in a ditch Two dark coyotes trotting across a sunrise pasture
...and, inevitably, they are thought provoking and beautiful.
