Finally got around to setting up a little photography portfolio. It's like my Instagram but with not quite as many sheep.

There's a lot to deal with right now. It's ok to feel some anxiety about the months ahead.
This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek build a toolkit of coping techniques with us in two online self-care sessions.
We know online sessions can be intimidating, so here's what to expect 🧵👇

An open letter to the music industry from the @The_BMC_UK @MusicWeek - musicweek.com/opinion/read/a… << We stand shoulder to shoulder with our sisters and brothers in the Black Music Coalition. It's time for the industry to stand with us. There is zero tolerance for racism #notoracism

For the record, not working with racists is not a difficult decision. Quite the contrary, in fact. However, the harassing and, frankly, threatening messages I’ve received since Friday evening - when I was on tour, my agent was on leave & it was the weekend - are extraordinary 1/3

Lots of chat about racism and folk music over the weekend. Can I direct everyone to read this and hear from people with lived experience of being racialised when accessing the community. @AccessFolk have more to come.

Just for clarity, here’s a quick run down of some of the organisations and people who put on gigs in Oxford:
Folk Arts Oxford - runs @FolkWeekend and has done a lot of school work. Focus on inclusion & access.
@oxfordfolkclub - long standing lovely folk club run by volunteers
Owen Ralph retweeted
The #folk scene in Oxford has been a bit of a talking point on social media this weekend because of some comments made by one person, who promotes events under a name which unfortunately implies a much wider ownership of the local folk scene than is actually the case. >>>

I'm sorry, but if you're famous, you lose 60 points every time you quote tweet a hater on main.

I’m extremely upset and I’m appealing to the woman who may just have thought they were taking a few set lists/lyrics off the stage last night. Please, please get in touch as I don’t think you realise that

as a person who used to hold a lot of harmful opinions in my youth, it was not sarcasm or insults that pulled me out of it.
it was seeing myself in the people i was lead to believe were nothing like me, and seeing them exhibiting the values i wanted to have.
