It’s the February full moon tonight, the snow moon, but not visible here with the cloud and rain. Here’s the snow moon from 2021 🌝

I went to the Lee Miller exhibition at Tate Britain this week.
In 2020 I spoke with her granddaughter, Ami Bouhassane at Farleys House for Mostly Folk.

Thought I’d share a little. This snippet is about her parents discovering Miller’s archive following her death.

Every Thursday at The Cove, Fairlight.
I’m there Thursday 29th January.

Warm welcome, free entry and freshly prepared, locally sourced food. I’ll be adding some locally sourced sea songs.

I’m in Hastings on Friday as Jason McNiff’s Sundowner guest at The Jenny Lind, with David Perry joining on guitar.

Had a great night on Saturday opening for Stick in the Wheel with David Tomlins. So good to see friends there. The only photo I managed was at their soundcheck.

For #FolkyFriday our heroine is a wise old woman.

With a sieve and candle she mimicked the rising sun, tricking the devil into thinking night was over and interrupting efforts to flood the area.

So looking forward to playing with Jude Montague tomorrow, Friday 17th October at The Pig, Hastings.

We’ll both be singing traditional and original folk songs and sharing folklore along the way.

The Pig is a Hastings seafront venue serving fresh local food.

Every seven years in Alfriston, the ghost of a white dog was said to appear on White Way, thought to be Thomas Chowne's pet.

Chowne was killed by robbers and when his bones were found and moved to St Andrews churchyard, sightings of the ghostly dog ceased.
