My Sunday Times piece today: In the six years since the Brexit vote, the UK has suffered lower growth, higher prices and a big fall in the pound. And there’s no post-Brexit plan for the economy:

Counting the cost of the Brexit vote six years on

Great unexpected Glastonbury moment. Went to see Chris Difford at the Acoustic Stage in my first hour off this week and his guest star was @yungblud who sang “Up The Junction” and said it was one of his Desert Island Discs. #glastonbury #yungblud #squeeze

Sad that another wonderful conference has come to an end. Michelle Ryan-Sautour and Karima Thomas were superb hosts and organised the most amazing evenings as well as all the presentations. So great to meet up with lovely people. Angers is a stunning city too.

@pollypaulusma delivers the final presentation of day 2 of Nomadic Texts and Subjectivities: Metamorphic Itineraries in Angela Carter's Works at University of Angers.

Wonderful to learn more about the influence of folk song on Carter's literary works.

Photo dump - gig last night with @hannahroseplatt Photo dump - gig last night with @hannahroseplatt at @soundloungecic - it was one of the special ones - such a privilege to play songs with Hannah, and for such an appreciative and attentive audience. 

Thanks to @paulsextonwrites for hosting such an excellent night!

Returning to my old stomping ground of London’s south-western corner (my first ever solo gig was at The Bedford in Balham…) this will be my first ever time at the legendary @soundloungecic, and I will play in the round with @hannahroseplatt - we have worked out some pretty lovely covers and duets to share with you all as well as a wealth of songs from our own rich repertoires. 

We are not just songwriters but storytellers. Come and find out for yourself how we cast our spells.

🌟Throughout the summer I'll be live streaming o 🌟Throughout the summer I'll be live streaming on WEDNESDAYS at 9pm BST and I'm starting next week: some songs, some chat, some requests, lots of giggles. 

During lockdown I started a series of regular live streams and I loved them so much. Actually, I think they might have saved me from a lot of despair. Just being able to reach people and connect, it's all I'ver ever done music for. 

So please do send me requests for ridiculous covers, news and hellos, and I'll be able to respond real time thanks to the wonders of multicasting technology.

So choose your preferred platform (Facebook Live, Youtube Live, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn) and join me... it won't be the same without you! 🌟

Thank you to listener Rachel and wonderful @lauren Thank you to listener Rachel and wonderful @laurenlaverne who together gave a song of mine (One Day) a spin on @bbc6music as part of #socialrecall a few days ago. 

Amazing to know the songs have found good homes. 🙏🏻 

Check out the show on 25 May - there was a whole heap of amazing music. Very honoured to be included. ❤️
Ordering another batch of guitar strings from Stri Ordering another batch of guitar strings from Strings Direct - such a great family-run business, great prices, and they send out strings so promptly and just seem to go out of their way to help. To all my guitarist friends, these guys come highly recommended!

I am in the process of making eleven music videos, I am in the process of making eleven music videos, one for each of the songs on my soon-to-be-released album 'The Pivot On Which The World Turns'. 

It's exhausting, and vastly time consuming, especially because I'm learning so much and such a novice. But I never thought I'd love the process so much. 

I had never really handled a video camera beyond family snapshots, nor done much in the way of live streams, before launching my Patreon page in January 2020. Since then, I've learned so much about just having a go at things that seem quite daunting. My gratitude to the free university that is Youtube is unbounded. 

My point: have a go.

This photo came up in my feed yesterday. I miss th This photo came up in my feed yesterday. I miss that guitar. She was called Eliza. Had to sell her in one of The Purges and I’m sure she’s happy and bringing lots of love and happiness but ow! it still hurts. 

Who took this? If you’re out there let me know so I can credit. 

Musicians out there - have you ever sold an instrument that still makes you feel a bit of a wince? Do share….
This is what I did last night. Oh my god but I do This is what I did last night. Oh my god but I do love these monthly live shed streams ('sheams'?) for my @Patreon patrons. They feel like a woop for joy, a shot in the arm, a flare in the night sky. Thank you if you were there. ✨💥✨

My new album 'Pivot' (coming out in Sept) is an ex My new album 'Pivot' (coming out in Sept) is an extended rumination on the roles we all play, the 'hats' we wear. 

So... when you come to a gig, wear something from the dress-up box. Feathers. Sparkles. Hats. You choose. I will, too.

And/or, post me photos here on Instagram or facebook, and I'll start to gather them up in a great big noticeboard of silly joy. 

I promise prizes.
