I'll be making my way back to the Colne Valley in April for a festival surrounding World Curlew Day. Not often you're billed with David Gray on a day billing. This should sell out pretty soon.

In my work I’ve published a lot over the years but this short entry in the just published - huge & highly recommended! - Billy Bragg A People’s History - made me very very pleased! Yep, been ‘with’ Mr Bragg since Christmas 1983! 😊 @billybragg.bsky.social

Keith Halfacree @halfa65.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

What amazing evening yesterday - 5+ hrs! - with Life & Songs of #MartinCarthy presented by so many famous names. Only Martin’s immense contribution to folk & skill of #JonWilkes & team could get so many top artists together - too many to list! Just few in this ‘pub stage’ picture

Keith Halfacree @halfa65.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

Time to visit mighty #NationalGallery today & see outstanding #Millet exhibition (free! But only on until 19 Oct) before my evening wrapped up in all things #MartinCarthy at #EarthTheatre this evening. #JonWilks #BillyBragg et al! :-)

Farrige gives the impression he doesn’t trust scientists, but was willing to believe a taxi driver in Buckinghamshire, that Sharia Law is coming to Britain. This guy wants to be PM?! You must be joking! Nice one @billybragg.bsky.social 👏 #bbcqt

Back to that London today on my week off, to visit stepmum tmrw & #IanNoe concert. But today a walk around the capital’s ’centre’, which got me couple good pics, & fab #EdwardBurra exhibition in #TateBritain!

Okay, it may be Autumn now (brrr..) but mighty #Railway in #UpperKillay still have live music at weekends! So, walked up today in grim rain for another fine 2 hours of music… Cheers! (And it filled up big time when the rain stopped!)

Keith Halfacree @halfa65.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Another full day fantastic music at #moseleyfestival. Rain tried to spoil it again but less successful than yesterday! Recommend this festival big time. All ace but must note #LisaONeill for someone ace I’ve somehow missed before & #MercuryRev for being amazing still! Got up the front for them!! ;-)

Keith Halfacree @halfa65.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

A full day - 11 hours! - of fantastic music at #moseleyfestival from 13 diverse acts. Honestly loved them all - less welcome was the rain! - but the fantastic #fatherjohnmisty certainly merited the headline slot! :-))

Keith Halfacree @halfa65.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Although our fine #Geography annual RGS-IBG conference didn’t finish until 6.30 so I couldn’t catch much at #MoseleyFestival today, #Waterboys headliners were more than up to it. Excellent stuff!!

Keith Halfacree @halfa65.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

Most excellent #SwanseaCamra evening with mighty beer ably supported by ace music by #CurrantsBand & most of all by such a great mixed group of positive people! There IS hope for this world… Thanks, I need that!!
