STRANGE NEWS HAS COME TO TOWN/STRANGE NEWS HAS CARRIED:
To my honour & amazement, on Sat 4 May I have my first ever 'gig' as a folk-singer, dauntingly supporting Lancashire legends Jennifer Reid & Magpahi + fab new talent Gabe Bath at the #NanMoors Todmorden Folk Fest fringe (1/3)
Just got a timeline reminder - last night marked 10 years since Shirley Collins's return to singing live;
This picture is from Shirley's soundcheck with Ian Keary that evening, preparing to support Current 93 / David Tibet at Union Chapel London.
Fab session at the Puzzle Hall Inn today - about 30 people, so *HEAVING*. One of the barstaff got a surreptitious clip of me singing - my first stab at 'The Old Dun Cow', so quite technically rough, but hopefully otherwise an ok effort; Trying to keep making progress...! 🍻🎶
A pretty good event at The Fox and Goose 🦊➕🪿 tonight, for anyone at a loose (goose) end -
Thorn Wych ('savagely symphonic neolithic drone-loops and incantations' said I, in May!) + Folklore Tapes DJs
[2/2] Dean McPhee also features on this month's Uncut Magazine cover CD, alongside Sam Lee - He/Hymn 🌈, julia holter & other colossi -
Dean's offering is 'Lunar Fire', an enthralling new track that also premiered on YouTube this week:

[1/2] Exciting to see this great full-page review of/interview with mystical Bradford-based ambient guitarist Dean McPhee, in the latest Uncut Magazine -
Get your copy in all good newsagents! Also features interviews with/pieces on Talking Heads, Kim Gordon, John Fahey & beyond;
[1/2] Was stoked to see original Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno at Nightrain Music Venue - Bradford Bradford tonight, but left on the 3rd song after he embarked on a vile racist rant.
No room for racists in metal, no room for racists in Bradford.
No wonder Maiden kicked him out; he's unworthy.
[2/2] It was a deep, marked contrast with this brilliant 2017 quote from #BruceDickinson ;
And also, the polar opposite of tonight's two fab Brazilian supports, Noturnall & Electric Gypsy - who brought pure good vibes and spoke powerfully of Bradford as a City of Peace ✌️🕊
If you're at a loose end in Manc tonight (Thurs 23/11), come to this FREE event - #OurNationalHealthStoriesLive at Factory International;
A unique performance piece to celebrate NHS staff, conceived by Kwame Kwei-Armah with 19 hospital trusts.
