I posted this over on Instagram and forgot to share it here! It may be 2 days late, but here is a wee 4 part arrangement I wrote for Ouseburn Folk Choir of the May Song by Dave Webber. I had to shift it up a few keys so I could reach those bass and tenor notes!

RE:VULVA are a new folk band ft Janice Burns, Holly Clarke, Cathy Geldard and Amy Thatcher. Watch the accompanying 90s aesthetic video for their first single ‘Girls and Their Toys’, celebrating womanhood, queerness, and freedom of expression. klofmag.com/2025/03/vide... @revulvauk.bsky.social

Ok - I've stumbled upon the new Instagram! Pixelfed - anyone here using it yet? It's just like insta but de-centralised (you have to choose a server to create your account on) - this makes it kind of communally owned I think. Pretty cool.

Looking up at the night sky and seeing several planets at once, clearly, in a city, without a telescope has got to be one of my favourite things. Last night I was lucky enough to see a shooting star too!

I love Glasgow. Today I visited the St Mungo museum of religious life and art, The Provand's Lordship (aka, the oldest house in Glasgow dated from 1471), and the Cathedral. Look at these beauties from the 14th Century

I've been off Instagram, tiktok and Facebook for a week-ish. Things I've noticed - I still look to my phone for entertainment but now, in the form of sudoku. The content I consume feels more interesting. Longer articles, less short, mindless filler. I've played mandolin a lot.
