As a singer-songwriter, I have been fortunate during my career to have played two UK tours (plus a bunch of standalone gigs) with Don, over the years. 👍😎
I did try blagging an invite to Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s wedding at MSG yesterday, but security said “if your name’s not on the list, you’re not coming in”. I pointed out that my name’s on the building, but they were having none of it… 🤷♂️😏 x #taylorswift #traviskelce #MadisonSquareGarden #NYC

Today would have been our thirtieth wedding anniversary. Thinking of you, Jo. Tempus fugit, an’ all that… ❤️ xxx
I know my photo is nowhere near as beautiful as the one you’ve posted, but your pic does put me in mind of a publicity photo of me and my band. 😊 x

As a massive fan, one of the greatest privileges of my life was to play a UK tour with Ronnie Spector of The Ronettes. This photo was taken during a soundcheck, of Ronnie on stage with me watching from the wings. ❤️ xxx #ronniespector #ronettes #philspector #musicsky #music #singersongwriter
Thrilled that my latest single ‘Thirty Eighth Paradigm Blues’ has jumped ten places to No.20 on this week’s UK Official Revival Chart Top 40! ❤️ x #MusicSky #Music #Songwriter
Massive thank you to television & radio legend Terry Christian for playing my latest single ‘Thirty Eighth Paradigm Blues’ on his ‘Northerners With Attitude’ show on Strawberry Radio this evening. Cheers Tezza. Very grateful to you, mucker. ❤️ x
My new single ‘Thirty Eighth Paradigm Blues’ is a brand new entry at No.30 on the UK’s Official Revival Chart Top 40. (And my previous single is still hanging on in there at No.19). Yay me! 😊 xxx (Cue indifference and lack of interaction from Bluesky ‘friends’!) 😂 #Musicsky #Music #Songwriter
The Carnegie Library in my ’hood. Built when the uber rich used their wealth to bring education, health, arts, libraries & museums to the masses. Today’s mega rich spend their money on joy rides into space, and subverting democracy Carnegie Free Library 13th March 2026 #photography #blackandwhite
But for the parked car and the modern litter bin, I feel this could quite easily pass as a daguerreotype from almost two hundred years ago, rather than when I took the photo this morning. ❤️ x Royal Oak pub, St. John’s Church, and Failsworth Pole Gardens 4th March 2026 #photography #blackandwhite
Been in a bit of a songwriting trough lately. Then my lovely friend Pauline MacLeod posted this pic. And it’s really cheered me up. I’ve still not written anything new, but you can find my old music on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon, iTunes, Deezer, etc. ❤️ x #MusicSky #Music #Songwriter
I never tire of this panorama. Tonight I was joined again by my beautiful, lonesome swan friend. ❤️ xxx #photography #manchester #waterfront
An old friend, and fellow singer-songwriter, Tim O’Connor sent me this wonderful pic over the weekend that he’d taken of me playing at one of CC/Brickwall’s legendary Funbox shows many moons ago. Thank you so much for the memory, Tim. I’m incredibly grateful to you. x #MusicSky #blackandwhite

I love this painting and have a print of it above the fireplace in my lounge (I couldn’t afford the original as it was about half a million quid!) 😁 And here’s a pic of the dapper chap who painted it, Marie François Firmin-Girard. 🙂
