@nigenet Did you ever see anything more from WOMAD about an event this summer or news of what is happening next year? It's been a long time since that email in which we were promised an update in a couple of weeks!

@substandardnerd I loved that beautiful man and his beautiful music. I'm glad we were on the same planet at the same time as this kind.

Lichen chat with Cerys Matthews Sophie Pavelle on BBC6 today!

bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002c1q8

"Cerys also catches up with author and wildlife trust ambassador Sophie Pavelle about her new book ‘To Have or To Hold: Nature’s Hidden Relationships’. It’s an exploration of nature's symbiotic relationships, some comforting and familiar, others wildly alien."

James Bond's CIA friend has died, RIP Joe Don Baker
One of those "it's that guy" from the movies of a certain period, normally as a military guy or someone with a boat...

Played some Pythia for the first time in a while the other day and now they've popped up on the gig listings playing Downstairs at the Dome in July! I'll have some of that!

Late Junction time!

"Verity Sharp serves up a pleasantly discombobulating mixtape crafted by the California-based electroacoustic saxophonist, improviser and composer Cole Pulice."

"Elsewhere Verity shares chamber music for lawn mowers, a journey on horseback sung in Scots language, and spiritual jazz inspired by an ancient astrological stone circle."

bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002bg2k

Tune in and join the adventure!

Oh, if we're dragging up the memory of poor Jo Cox, then let's do it properly, yeah?

Who was whipping up the population with violent rhetoric that ended with a prominent Remain MP being murdered by a Brexit supporter?

Wasn't fucking Kneecap, was it?
