I’m available for spring and summer gigs! If you’d like me and The Dust & Mischief band to come and do our folky thing for you- let me know!
Likewise; if you know a festival or other event with a D&M shaped hole it it- please put us forward :)

Huge thanks to the wonderful @MelroseQuartet who took time out of their busy schedule to meet some of the FolkActive Youth Ensemble, talk about their lives as folk musicians and answer their questions before their joyous gig at @TurnerSims 🎶
Why do you use Spotify?
Seriously. Why?

Hey @KFC_UKI, it’s not much point offering great deals via your app, and removing tills to encourage me to use the app, if the app won’t take payment & branches won’t match the prices.
Wanted kfc yesterday but gave up trying because of the app; passing a branch today but no joy

We've spoken to 100s of people in Winchester & Meon Valley over the last couple of weeks.
Even Tory voters are saying this government is past its sell-by date, they're out of ideas, out of touch, and that we need a change.
We need a fresh start ⬇️

Well this cool-headed dismemberment of everything the government announced on net zero. Dear @CommonsEAC will you publish the answers to your 9 questions on the 13th October to ensure appropriate public scrutiny. A must read 👇
✉ We have today published a letter sent to the Prime Minister @RishiSunak, raising questions arising from recent announcements on net zero measures.

Water companies who dump raw sewage into sites of Special Scientific Interest, and the Tory MPs who voted to allow them to continue to do it, are guilty of ecological vandalism.
We need to stop electing politicians who completely ignore science.

This is an amazing charity helping to get children off the street all around the world (including the UK) and using sport to help and raise there profile.
Give them a follow and spreed the word.

That’s 2 weeks in a row where, instead of 2 cards I don’t have or a cool variant I’ve earned 17% of a good card.
@seconddinner - I’d suggest this needs a tweak because the ‘feelsbad’ is reaching a tipping point for me. @MARVELSNAP

I'm Danny Chambers, I'm a vet here in Winchester, and I'm standing to be our next MP.
This government is completely out of touch. People want change.
