I'm afraid I'm not an expert by any means - I picked mine up from hobgoblin music in Bristol over the phone!
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!
First ever solo gig was lovely!
I'm going to be doing a rare (my first ever, in fact) solo gig tonight at The Cluny in Newcastle supporting one of my favourite artists, Chris Brain.

Solutions for those missing Instagram but hating on meta
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!
Hey hey musicians & labels, what self-released, DIY or low key LPs or EPs do you have coming out in March that you want to make me aware of? Cheers!
Holly & The Reivers at @gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk !
Absolutely mind blowing Kan gig tonight in Sunderland ❤️
Thanks for letting me know! I haven't used it before but I've been considering how to do the social media thing away from musk and Zuckerberg and it was on my list of things to try. I'll scratch it off my list now!
What's happened with substack?
A fun day with @jondoranmusic.bsky.social BBC Scotland
Right? Such a waste!
Just heard that apparently people wash their pyjamas after only one use. If I went on holiday for 5 days, I'd bring one set of pyjamas. Surely I'm not in the minority here?
