Very sad to hear of Bernie's passing. I interviewed him on three occasions, including a live event at @ColesBooks in Bicester: each time he was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable and a true gentleman. And, of course, a great, great guitarist. RIP Bernie. Rockin' heaven down!

Thank you @helenamerriman for today's #BBCRadio4 programme featuring Poppy and her battles with #CRPS My wife suffered with CRPS after breaking her arm, fortunately she recovered well with #NHSPhysiotherapy although not back to full 100%. An inspiring programme.
Been a blast touring with @DavidIRobertsUK ! Thanks so much to everyone who came out / supported / listened to our folk guitar sounds!

Picked up this lovely collector's item today, a circa 1930s Erika typewriter commissioned by Karger Publishing in Basel. It's a wee on the rough side but has such a lovely feel. If only it could tell me its stories...

Currently reading @juderogers wonderful The Sound of Being Human between doing bits of housework. Would absolutely recommend it (the book, not the housework).

Brilliant episode of ⁦@BBCWomansHour⁩ on women in folk featuring ⁦@PeggySeeger⁩ ⁦@fayhield⁩ ⁦@gracepetrie⁩ ⁦@rachel_newton_⁩ and many more. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0016x…
