It will be a lovely evening of songs, art and literature. There are just a few tickets left. Immense thanks to the brilliant artists, writers and supporters who have supported the project - and of course @yorkshiredales.org.uk

Special day yesterday, celebrating the #PennineWay 60th. I sang about my dad, the dalesman hefted to the hillsides. Great to see how the "Long Green Trail" continues to "inspire and invigorate". @yorkshiredales.org.uk @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @anitasethi.bsky.social @nationaltrailsuk.bsky.social

Stream still available until 10PM tomorrow (Fri 10th Jan): Three Idle Women's Boaty Boy was played by Mark Radcliffe on The Folk Show last month. Their harmonies sound lovely (as do Kris Drever and friends). Proud to have recorded it. Listen here: tinyurl.com/3bym44b8

I made a song and video about where I grew up, on the Pennine Way. With a cameo from dad, who maintained the path for a living. It was quite emotional making it; I hope you like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpvM... #yorkshiredales #pennineway #malhamdale #hiking #penyghent @yorksbylines.bsky.social

Now here's an enjoyable selection of music, including some lovely rarities from Nick Drake and family. Honoured to have a song played in such inspiring company.

May this cheery robin stay safe from all the cats that seem to frequent this platform. And here's some nicely curated music for you from @roger-williams49.bsky.social...

Today’s poem is called ‘Monetisation’.

Monetisation

The advert said
MONETISE YOUR FOLLOWERS
so he thought
he would respond;

by painting them
in the changing light,
like waterlilies
in a pond.

Oops, I must have ticked the box that said I like pictures of cats. Tell me it gets better.
