Folk Police is on hold for the time being. Normal service will hopefully be resumed next year. CDs and downloads still available at Bandcamp. In the meanwhile here’s a rather fab mixtape of early 80s UK cassette culture electronica. www.mixcloud.com/TheFolkPolic...

Last time I was in Foyles, they still had the chit process for buying books. Last night was the ever inventive and unpredictable (but predictably brilliant) David Thomas Broughton, with an all-star cast of Charles Hayward and Matthew Bourne. More @babayagashut.bsky.social magic

The deputy head at my primary school would make misbehaving kids sit at the front and show the whole assembly what they'd been doing. Cue a line-up of: 1. Boy throwing his book in the air and catching it 2.Boy making fart noises with his armpit 3.Two boys taking it in turns to punch each other

I've made a new record that I'm really proud of, and I'd love to get it mastered... but I'm pretty much in the negative on every record I put out!

I was in a tiny secondhand bookshop in Morecambe and the owner had it on a portable TV screen. Don't remember us speaking at all, just watching as the events unfolded. Later found out that a friend who worked in the WTC had survived because she was late for work.

Ok - who lives in #Brighton, or knows peeps who do? Be Kind Cadaver have put together a frankly excellent show on 24th of September - expect mad ritual, experimental post-punk, doom-ballads and more. Plus the support for this one are all awesome. Help us out - share this to your Brighton friends!

Seeing Paul Weller last night reminded me - Here we go again, it's Monday at last He's heading for the Waterloo Line To catch the 8am fast, it's usually dead on time Hope it isn't late, got to be there by nine...

Still a favourite, and not just for the singles. Squeeze at their sleaziest. Took me another 30 years to finally see them live and they played The Knack. Loved them all over again for it.

Gary @druidsplace.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Bright Phoebus Revisited with @elizacarthy.bsky.social, @marrywaterson.bsky.social et al at EartH was a rather special night. Paul Weller providing a moving Never The Same, and Daragh Lynch's Scarecrow was a chilling slice of folk-horror. Also a pleasure to run into @davidwilloughby.bsky.social

Still aching from a long weekend in a field, so a night at the arse-numbing Earth - cushion or no cushion - is obviously the only thing to be doing

Gary @druidsplace.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

@endoftheroadfestival.com 2026 was as enjoyable and enlightening as always. So many highlights, but some of the most ethereal moments were from the combined 245 years or so of evergreen veterans Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Bonnie Dobson and The Space Lady.

@riotseasonrecords.bsky.social stablemates at the Piper last night. Black Helium were excellent as ever, but Hibushibire were on another plane. Intense energy and captivating riffs, none better than their reimagined Occitan folk tune Ai Vist Lo Lop

Brutal crashing walls of noise, A Place To Bury Strangers at @concorde2.bsky.social last night. Ear plugs proved ineffective. A band known for playing in the audience, so Carmen from openers Die Anstalt went one better

You're not supposed to admit you're struggling. But we r - and I know for a fact we're not alone. The grassroots is dying - it needs U to keep it alive. Buy something from a small label/press. Tell ppl about it who don't often support such things. Explain to them why it's so important. PLS SHARE.

Yesterday my label Frosti released a split album - ‘Swaying Shadows’ - from Connecticut producer Samantha S and Two Way Mirrors (which is one of my own projects). An album of blurry ambience and cyclic drones of static pressure. CDs and cassettes on Bandcamp! frostilabel.bandcamp.com/album/swayin...
