Echo Mine due out in February. Check out new single Romans on youtube..it's a delicate peach.

Pixies headlining at EOTR this year.

Sun shining over heavy frost here.

Favourite recent re read - The Abundance of Less by Andy Couturier.

Just finished library book The Bride of Newgate by John Dickson Carr - that man could write a romp and no mistake.

Bamboozled by the world.. gently floating down a sidestream..increasingly not getting it...maybe the Pythons were right.. it is all about having a good read and doing a spot of flower arranging.

feeling older and slower here ..could just be Winter .. but finding that these are not necessarily negatives.

Well, apparently so cos 2019 was the year I discovered Richard Buckner and the late Jason Molina.. I'm ashamed to admit it but thrilled to have found them. Blue Factory Flame just haunts me.

Just back from EOTR.. William Tyler in the rain..LOW on shattering overdrive.. Sandro Perri broke me with In another Life..Mary Lattimore to the moon and back. Mark Mulcahy in full caramel flow. Lisa O'Neill,how we need her right now and the utterly angelic Angelo de Augustine who stole the whole show.

We are so privileged to see these people.

Click on Art 2019 tab on main page to see most of the 2019 paintings that were shown at Birdwood House in May... What can i say? it's been a difficult year but I finally got my act together to upload these. Here's to the next one when we hope Ian Harbour will join us again..details to follow when we've worked out the when and where. Enjoy!

THANKYOU so much to all who came to this year's show - to those of you who bought work, looked at work, discussed it, thought about it, felt it. There's no show without you and I am deeply grateful

.. will be putting up pics soon on 2019 Art tab for those that missed it or would like another gander..

Will hopefully be doing it all over again with another batch sometime. Will let you know.
