Almost impossible task obviously, but I had a go…

Although, reading a few more recently he and his successors in the CC ‘franchise’ are pretty awful in how they write women. I once got so into a book about and ex-Vietnam sniper that I made this outfit from a beach ball and a bike pump.

I shot a film on holiday this year then got the PPYO at @hcmfuk.bsky.social to score it. Here’s a trailer and the link to the whole thing. If you watch it, there’s a whole bunch of other stuff on that channel you might like too. Subscribe if you want. Ta. youtu.be/PKgMTy3jTbE?...

Had a good time conjuring a mighty drone in support of Sourdure in Todmorden. I should really find a way to play this set more. (You can see/hear something like it Whitby in November).

Dubious dolmen at Site hommage de Laval-Pradel… in front of a train of trucks emerging from a mine and a convoy of WW2 period vehicles, commemorating the history of the area, this dolmen is atypical of those in the region and is not marked on the map. #tombtuesday

Nearby, with the sounds from the nearby Dinopark drifting though the air, the second little dolmen sits on the park of the Aven Marzal cave. #prehistory #megalithic #megalith #standingstone #tombtuesday @the.stone.club @megalithic.bsky.social

Situated near Bidon, above the Gorge de l’Ardeche, the Dolmen de Champvermeil is one of the largest in the department. #tombtuesday #dolmen #ardeche @stoneclub.bsky.social @megalithic.bsky.social

The new Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra album is out today! It’s performed by 7-10 year olds and traces the journey of Todmorden’s Gabble Ratchets. Weird, atmospheric drones, drums and piano. Www.forged-river.com #folklore #childrensmusic #teachingmusic #ks2music #todmorden #calderdale

Almost all of these listens were on my paper round in 1988-89 when it was the only tape that lived in my Walkman. (My friend Tim filled the tape with the first half of an INXS album that I never listened to).

Mark S. Williamson @spaceshipmark.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

The gabble ratchets CDs have arrived and they look great! It’s also a bit scary because the PPYO isn’t funded or paid for by the kids who attend, so we need to sell a few! Hope you can check it out! spaceship.bandcamp.com/album/gabble... (Reposts etc also really appreciated!)

41 years of Sleng Teng and also one day since I used the same model keyboard in a performance of Terry Riley’s ‘In C’ down the pub…

The Menhir and Dolmen of Kerluir. Right in the heart of the Carnac landscape but rarely visited… #standingstonesunday

Mark S. Williamson @spaceshipmark.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

One of the stones at Stones (by Stones Road) near Todmorden. No one seems sure what these stones are or how long they’ve been there but the farmer definitely doesn’t like you climbing over the wall for a closer look… #standingstonesunday

It’s #bandcamp Friday tomorrow. All of these (and more) are still in stock. Also, my van has to go to the garage for some biggish work so tomorrow would be a great time to buy some stuff! Thanks! www.spaceship.bandcamp.com #folklore #folk #archaeology #stonecircles #timeteam #folkzine #zine

We went to Worsthorne Stone Circle. The weather was bleak and there’s not much to actually see there on the ground. There was a cremation excavated there in the 1880’s so it is legit. Saw our first snowdrops of spring on the walk back to the van… #stonecircle #burnley

Just realised there are nearly a thousand people following me on here. Thank you. Here I am despairing at the mess I’ve made in the ‘music room’… If you follow me, you might get to hear what it sounds like.

It’s mainly around Beeley in Derbyshire; the pub, Hob Hursts House (although the Church is actually in Castleton)

It took me a year to watch all the episodes available online (which is most of them) and a long time to figure out what I wanted to do musically before I settled on this palette:

A melodica, a small acoustic guitar, a pair of North African bongos, a one string homemade violin, an Epiphone EB-0 bass guitar and a trumpet.

Tremendous fun at @fullofnoises.bsky.social the past couple of days making music for the Barrow Park Halloween ghost train. Installation and action day tomorrow. Excited hear our sounds pumping out from from the sculptures/speaker housings the kids have made with John Powell Jones…

I go to church with my mum about once a month. It’s an Anglo-catholic church so lots of smells, bells and sung bits. I also go to see where my Dad’s are, give him an update, and light a candle here in the Lady Chapel in front of where we sit. On a sunny day, the light is beautiful.

Light streams through stained glass into the Lady Chapel of the church of St Stephen on the Cliffs in Blackpool. Above the altar is a large painting of the Madonna and Child and in the foreground are some votive candles.
