Before Elon took over, I think Twitter went down once in the 10 years I had my account. It’s gone down three times today alone.

The US is letting this guy run a government department and their space program. Uh huh…

Edinburgh! My headline show in Leith Depot is right around the corner - here’s a flavour of what you’re in for! 🎶

Grab your ticket today and let’s have a folkin great night together 🎟️🎸

I’m absolutely delighted that my song Between the Worlds was played on the Unwinds Show with Angela Griffin on BBC Radio 2 on Sunday night! ⚡️📻⚡️

The first time my music has been on Radio 2 and it followed on from Neil Young as well!

Full show at my link in bio 🔗

Everyone hates on Twitter because of Elon but Instagram gets away with murder.

Such a toxic place to be as well. “Oh, look at me, how exciting is my life right now?”

Constant Match of the Day-style highlights reel that makes you feel pitted against everyone else. Burn it down.

Joined my local library yesterday! 📚

Probably the only person to walk in and out of the building to be reminded of the old Palast der Republik in the former DDR 😃

Una Semana en La Habana - Live in Havana 🎶

Recorded while I was out in Cuba performing at the Havana Biennial, the full version drops at 7pm on my YouTube Channel 🕖

For now, I hope you enjoy this sneak preview 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇺✨

Made it two days into December before being Whammed. Ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️ #whamageddon

Greetings from Havana, looking out at the sea from a friend’s apartment. Next stop: the USA 🌞🇨🇺

Was aggressively growing my beard ahead of going to Cuba so I’d low-key look like Fidel but, with just days to go, I caved and trimmed it back

Another couple from last night (Thursday).

I love the way fading light apparently strips all things of their colour, creating a contrast that makes everything appear as black etchings on a colourful canvas

Plus, huge thanks to The Falkirk Herald for covering this story, even creating a “Cuba” section to house the story! 😎

I’m heading out to Cuba on Monday to take a little bit of Scotland to the Havana Biennial - the only Scottish artist performing or exhibiting there!

Travelling with support from Peace & Justice Project, PCS, FBU, Unison, BFAWU & supporters 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿➡️🇨🇺

I don’t think a lot of the news agencies are here yet. Once they come, the images and debate will come with it. It is eerie and ironic, like not being able to see the castle because of the mist or something
