a week of feeling helpless watching unimaginable horror in Gaza from the safety of my couch with acute sinusitis. steroids, antibiotics, and losing my seat whenever i got up.
keep protesting, keep writing to your elected representatives, donate if and when you can, do not let disheartenment turn into silence 🍉
also do not get on a plane when you’ve got a headcold/mild sinusitis. now that i’m mostly better, it feels like someone has pushed a hotdog through my ears and behind my eyes.
solidarity with all trans and enbie folk. your dignity and resilience in the face of daily attacks from politicians of all stripes, the press, and other bigots is beautiful ♥️ trans rights are human rights 🏳️⚧️
Never Mind The Algorithm: Here’s Some Non-Short-Form Video Content. We’re playing at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington in LONDON, TAHNIGHT for @fikarecordings with @sassyhiya . YOU SHOULD COME. Some tickets on t’door.

The best way to enjoy music is live, is it not? Get your tickets now to see me with the incredible band that made the last two records next week, in London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.
On our way to INVERNESS for our gig TONIGHT at Tooth and Claw. The irrepressible @songsbyadamross opening. Some tickets remain. Don’t miss oot. Also, it is B@NDCAMP FR1DAY, so a very good day to pick a copy of my new album. Charlotte’s photo direction is unparalleled. Am I wearing shorts? Am I not? Only the folk in this Inverurie car park really know.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR ‘THIS COULD BE US, YOU, OR ANYBODY ELSE’. The tour continues at the @tunnelsaberdeen THIS THURSDAY and @toothandclaw.inverness on Friday.
DUNDEE. Thank you so much. That was a truly wonderful way to start a tour. I felt full of energy because of your warm embrace and it was a JOY to play tunes both new and old for you. Cannot wait to pick the tour up in Aberdeen and Inverness this Thursday and Friday, respectively.

Helllloooooo. We are sunning ourselves while Martin fixes A Drum Thing indoors. The tour starts TONIGHT-uh in DUNDEE at Beat Generator. Still time to grab a t1cket. Songs from all four records. Sweaty fun after sundown in the City Of Discovery.
Last week, I had a coffee and blether with lovely David MacGregor about the ace new Broken Chanter LP - This Could Be Us, You, Or Anybody Else - which is out now via Chemikal Underground. David’s playing live as part of VoxBoxMusic’s always-fab Record Store Day japes tomorrow (August 18) along with loads of fab guests, including former A Kick Up The Arts star, Kathryn Joseph. Then David and his glorious band are playing live across the country in the coming weeks. Let’s all go! Listen to our chat wherever you get your podcasts, or at the link(s) in bio. And thank you, if you do. 🧡

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE. Just got back from a big daft cycle to Loch Lomond, catching up with my pal @siandoesthings and to burn off some release week stress and adrenalin, to find out that, thanks to you grabbing copies from record shops both tangible and digital, ‘This Could be Us, You, Or Anybody Else’ has battered its way into the @officialcharts Scottish Album Chart at number 23, and the UK Downloads Chart at number 75. THANK YOU. ♥️
PS My eyes are absolutely full of pollen. Be safe out there.
