By the way: it's Bandcamp Friday today, so go and purchase your wishlisted albums!

My warm recommendation this time is "Bird Songs" by Miranda Rutter. Inspired by birds and dotted withh beautiful snippets of field recordings, it feels like an hommage to our avian friends. A delightful album that made me laugh and cry. A beautiful match for spring time 🐦

Stop the press! An extra May gig snuck in for tomorrow night at The Three Golden Cups in Southerndown with The Midnight Fiddle Band 🎻

Then it's more fantastic folk with Isembard's Wheel, thankfully more than once every hundred years, at Hotel Brigadoon Pontypridd.

The Occasional Domestics then reappear for the Gower Cheese & Cider Festival at Gower Heritage Centre, at 1pm on the Saturday, where I'll also jump up with Plastic Sam's Stargazer in the evening.

Diversions by Gerry Diver, released on Scorching Sun Records in 2002.

"Featuring the recording debut of Lisa Knapp

Early in 2002, Donegal born fiddle player, Gerry Diver began recording his debut album Diversions. Twelve months and ten tracks later it's eclectic and diverse melodies are ready to hit the shelves. Though packed with a variety of guests reflecting Gerry's own personal standing on the music scene he has made his life, this album is most definitely Gerry's own.

A rich musical journey through new arrangements of traditional material, classic English folk song and jazz influenced self compositions, Diversions goes way beyond covering the groundwork in each genre yet never fails to seamlessly pull together into one whole, an album that will undoubtedly stand the test of time and that showcases Gerry's multi instrumentalist talents to the full."

Stress Dolls - Ghostwriter

"A pop rock song ala The Replacements that features a violin solo and is about anxiety as a ghostwriter."
