My debut album Call To Mind is five years old today! 🎉5️⃣🎉
It's been a while since I listened back to this album. I think I've progressed some way as a writer and performer since it was made, but I'm still very proud of it and hugely thankful to everyone who helped make it.
Some of these tunes have been with me for the best part of a decade now, and I'm grateful to them for sticking with me over the years!
If you bought it at the time (or since!), thank you so much for listening.

If you've not heard Call To Mind, it's available on CD/DL from Bandcamp (today is #BandcampFriday so I don't have to pay commission!) – finncollinson.bandcamp.com/a…
Every @FolkEast is memorable for different reasons, and we’ll remember this year as our farewell to Glemham Hall.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make the Youth Moot possible again, and to the audience for my band's gig for being the BEST!
See you in 2025, FolkEast ❤️🎶
Thank you very much Wendy! Appreciate you saying so! That was a very special gig for us 😍🎶
Seen @FinnCollinson at @FolkEast many times, tonight he & (great!) band are up against Dohl drums tonight & totally holding the crowd.
All this on the back of working with youth moot all day 😍
It's @FolkEast week 🎉🌟🎉
I couldn't let the last festival on the Glemham Hall estate go without sneaking in a band gig, could I?! I'm so excited to say that I'll be performing with Evan and Archie on the Woods Stage on Saturday evening!
Who's coming?! I can't wait! Fx
I'll also be running the Youth Moot music workshops again. These workshops are for young musicians aged 12+ and I've organised for some of my favourite musicians to lead the sessions. Please spread the word with any young folkies attending the festival! @FolkEast #YouthFolk
The lovely Archie Churchill-Moss will be joining me on Thursday to play some FREE music for Norwich Summer Sessions! ☀
We'll be playing 3 sets between 4:30-8pm, at St Gregory's Green... Come and listen if you're in Norwich!

In anticipation of this concert, last month I took part in a lovely interview with Stephen Ottner of @folk_ace, who invited me to share ten pieces of music which have inspired me in some way.

I've been home from the tour for a week and it's been lovely to think back over a great run of shows 🎶
A massive thank you to everyone who helped make it happen, and to our wonderful audiences for taking the time to come and see us.
More in the summer!!

Highly recommend this album by @FinnCollinson - been playing it on and off all weekend. Superb music! Must get the “Call To Mind” album soon too especially as it has a track on it that I was really taken by when played live on Friday night ( Evie’s and Emma’s is the track) ❤️
We had a brilliant night in Barton upon Humber last night. What a brilliant venue @Ropewalkbarton is!!
Thank you for coming Mandy and for all your generous sharing of our social media posts in the build-up!
What a wonderful evening of music by @FinnCollinson and his band. 3 incredibly talented musicians. Loved the stories behind the beautiful tunes too. Lovely to meet/chat to you all - please come back soon - can’t wait to listen to your CD 🥰@Ropewalkbarton @anniehornerglis
