Best of 2025. Dove Ellis' debut is the most blown away I've been about an album in years. Little Simz album launch and Richard Hawley playing Coles Corner in full were absolute highlights. @jenniferballads.bsky.social, @naturetvband.bsky.social dropping classics and the return of Blankenberge ❤️

RIP Frank O'Gorman. He was a lovely man and a brilliant historian, and I was very fortunate that he was my PhD supervisor. I will miss him. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

I got the new album from @jenniferballads.bsky.social in the post and a line in the sleeve notes shows how she and I are singing from the same hymn sheet, her for folk, me for church “I believe you should try to get everywhere like water, make the tradition undeniable, support people to participate”

The album cover for Jennifer Reid’s ‘the ballad of the gatekeeper’ on vinyl, showing an oil painting of her (by the artist Ian Bruce) with the album title in neon letters over the top, with the sleeve notes laid on top saying ‘folk is dead, long live folk’

Proud to call Jenn a friend yet even I did not see something of such import coming. As a wordsmith I know the term 'unique' is almost always mis-used but in this case, it is fully justified. Listen, learn and be moved.

Forget the kings and queens and all that guff, Jennifer Reid keeps our real history alive. This will be a great project - traditional Lancashire folk, broadsides, radical history.

It’s worth tracking down a copy of Sam Fitton’s poem ‘Shuttle-Kissin’ too! @jenniferballads.bsky.social performs this number to great effect.
