Very pleased to announce the Love Me, I’m A Liberal UK Tour. It’s a solo run to mainly places I’ve not already done this year and places I’m not doing on Jim Bob’s tour. It’s going to be a blast, lots of green songs and red songs, so I hope you’re able to come along. Here’s the list…

Here’s the track listing for Midnight Campfire episode #97, first broadcast Wed 17 August 2016 on Brighton’s Juice 107.2 and archived online at TotallyRadio.com. A lovely show, I loved it. O’Hooley & Tidow are still album of the month and Nick Cave sang this week’s Campfire Songbook. I bookended the second hour with two magic bits of poetry. Here’s what I played…

Here’s what I played on Midnight Campfire #95, first broadcast on Wed 3 August 2016 on Brighton’s Juice 107.2. You can listen to the show archived online at TotallyRadio.com. I really enjoyed this show, though it was slightly chaotic. The music mix just felt perfect to me. Here’s the tracklisting…

Here’s what I played on Midnight Campfire episode #94, first broadcast Wed 27 July 2016 on Juice 107.2 and now online at TotallyRadio.com. Was a fun show, lots of new songs, the last go for July’s album of the month, Annie Keating’s Trick Star and The Horses Of The Gods’ disconcerting take on John Barleycorn was suggested by Vinay Gupta for the Campfire Songbook, so in it goes. The second hour is a themed playlist of songs about workhouses, inspired by my residency this summer at the National Trust’s Workhouse at Southwell. Here’s the full track listing…

Here’s the track listing for episode #93 of Midnight Campfire, first broadcast Wed 13 July 2016 on Juice 107.2.

Here’s what I played on this week’s Midnight Campfire. There’s been some technical glitches, so you may have heard the first half of this the previous week but I’m calling this week’s broadcast the full show. Listen again at Juice and I’ll put up the TotallyRadio archive link when it’s ready. Here’s the playlist…

For what it’s worth I’m reluctantly voting Remain.

By any normal (first world) measure, I’ve had a rough couple of days on the road. Nothing disastrous but a pile of small things going wrong, with outcomes leaving me somewhere between mildly inconvenienced and quite vulnerable…

Here’s the playlist for Midnight Campfire #90, first broadcast on Brighton’s Juice 107.2, Wed 8 June 2016. The first hour is all new tracks, then the second hour focuses on the music of English folk’s master fiddler Dave Swarbrick, who sadly died recently. RIP Swarb.
