I got to see Macdara Yeates at Durham Folk Festival last week - I sought him out after hearing on the BBC 2 Folk Show - bought the new album - my favourite track is this one "Alexander". macdarayeates.bandcamp.com/track/alexan...
Alexander, by Macdara Yeates

So I recently wrote a 12 min song. It could be even longer. I keep on adding verses - its an epic ode to the River Tees that spans 300+ years. Is this self-indulgent, pretentious claptrap? Quite possibly. But I'm also struck that this is precisely the kind of stuff an AI Robot would never create
Sheffield Folk events in the next 2 weeks. Yorkshire Chandelier have decided to finish after 50 years of clog dancing. Their final dance out is this Thursday, with several guest teams from Sheffield.

❄️ We're taking our mid-winter show on the road for 2026! Every year, on the last weekend before Christmas Henry Parker and I have organised a special co-headline show in Hull. This year we thought it would be a jolly good idea to hit up a few of our favourite venues around the country!
Just 3 years ago, I accidentally created an album helped by my pal, David Redfurn - a few short months later, I had my first BBC interview and radio play. It's been a pretty mental 3 years - and totally unexpected. youtu.be/ds5J6rvAZKE

Don’t know about anyone else - but if I lost my true love - I wouldn’t be able to just immediately be able to wheel in a replacement with such alacrity - to go out looking for wild mountain thyme. It would take me a while to get over them… www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I appear to have written a song which is 12mins long. Oppsy. Maybe I should go all out and do a fully fledged folk opera. I clearly wasn't paying any attention in my Shakespeare class when the bard said that brevity was the soul of wit... my previous long form record was 7mins! :p ;-)

Reading and Leeds have dropped BBC Introducing for a new ‘nepo baby stage’. Where does it leave DIY artists?
As R&L replace the BBC’s unsigned artists stage with one filled with rock scions and a Simon Cowell boyband, many are decrying disappearing opportunities for grassroots acts

Gabby HC@scriblit.bsky.social · 4w agoLol the three Re-etc fash parties split the vote in a Dover by-election so the greens won and the comments in the local paper's FB comments are taking it exactly how you'd expect people who comment on a Kent local paper's FB to take it
