I'm not deleting my account, but I'm basically off Twitter now, because of the interfering, racist, fascist, narcissistic, unempathetic twat who owns it.
You can find me @audinarymusic on BlueSky.
I have no time for dictators, nor for drug dealers. But The US intervention in Venezuela is a fragrant breach of international law, and must be unequivocally condemned by all democratic leaders.

Our Christmas gig in Oxford on 13th December is now sold out. There are bound to be a few returns, so feel free to join the waiting list wegottickets.com/event/66736…

A reminder that our Christmas concert in Oxford has a new venue this year. After 30-odd years we felt like a change! We think you'll like the venue just as much as the Holywell, and the seats are definitely more comfortable!
Tickets from wegottickets.com/event/66736…

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.
Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

Data from the Office of National Statistics shows Londoners are less likely to be violent crime victims (26.4 offences per 1,000 pop) than the rest of England & Wales (31.9 offences). Violent crime has fallen in every London borough in the past year.

Really enjoyed @WIYElondon conversation with Brian Protheroe @prothers
I was 13 when Pinball came out (2 years younger than Paul Weller). It was played regularly on 'Diddy' David Hamilton's Radio 1 afternoon show. The first single I bought with my own money. 49p in W H Smith!

It's Bandcamp Friday today, so a particularly good day to get your hands on any of the three most recent Magpie Lane albums - either as a download, or physical CD + download

With all this hot weather, the question a lot of you will have been asking recently is "When will the Magpie Lane Christmas concert tickets go on sale?"
Well, the wait is over.

Just one contribution today - I'm mostly trying to avoid this Musk-infested swamp these days
Anyway, here's a glorious performance by Jackie Oates about a lake that's also best avoided

Fancy listening to some great musicians? Check this out - available once again just in time for #BandcampFriday

All sort of vittles I did provide
All sorts of meats that’s fitting for him
With oyster pie and rhubarb too
But nothing will put courage in him

Oysters are a delicacy, of course, although there's no mention of the bloke actually getting to eat any in this song

It's about food, but not necessarily food that you'd want to eat: Cowd Stringy Pie, sung by Dave Hillery

Kash Patel is doing such a great job on fighting crime that we are actually having to import sex traffickers from other countries.
I don't often feel sorry for members of the Royal family, but Charles must be dreading this. Can't help feeling that his view of Trump is - correctly - that he's Simply Appalling
