Gentle, Ghosts

Makes music. Haunts houses. Tweets in-between.

[Gentle, Ghosts @GentleGhosts_]

Thank you @lucydacus for a wonderful night. Jeez, you can sing. And if I see any videos of your final song on here, I'll be doing some haunting before you can say Thumbs.

First tweet in two months. Why? Because @theholdsteady #weekender2022 is this weekend. And if one band can provide the joy we all need right now it's them. #TheseMiraclesWork. Thanks for listening, thanks for understanding.

@tomorybristol @TeenageFanclub @Wilco Thanks Tom. You've the patience of a saint for waiting for me to finally get a copy to you!

.@jackantonoff is the ferret in the trouser leg of pop. In the best possible way.

This has made my year. My favourite band in the world, @theholdsteady, covering my wife's favourite band in the world, @CountingCrows (who I also bloosy love). Got to hope they play it in London in March! https://t.co/tpELGTdoL9

@FrazeyFord at @FiddlersBristol tonight was sublime. Even the forgotten chords and miss-starts seemed to be in perfectly hazy harmony.

@RedRocksCO @k_crutchfield @JasonIsbell I don't suppose Red Rocks is actually in the UK? Failing that, does anyone have a Star Trek transporter handy?

I was excited enough about the new @courtneymelba album arriving this week, then this beauty pops up. Pretty sure it's Stella from @_Warpaint on the drums but can't quite place the bassist? https://t.co/lZUkLJ9sBc

@BBC6Music I'm going to shamelessly add my own spooky little pop-punk number. It's terrifying how brazen this self-promotion is. https://t.co/UarGohr1AP

In need of a #TrickOrTreat soundtrack? Then it's your lucky #AllHallowsEve, because here's our latest single, a #poppunk ditty name-checking everyone's favourite #vampire #slayer: #Buffy. You'll find the video, fit for #halloween2021 on our Youtube channel https://t.co/5yoZnvxhtP

[Gentle, Ghosts @GentleGhosts_]

As an added bonus, you can play a spot the #movie reference game throughout.

What with it being #halloween2021 it's only appropriate to release a new song. And, fittingly, this is about one of my biggest fears. No, not #Spurs winning the league.

And last but very much not least... @britrbennett

Been quiet for a week or so, recovering from the 30 song marathon that was September.
But I'm back, and with a song to celebrate #BookshopDay and raise funds for Hidden Corner, a Bristol bookshop who were unlawfully evicted this week.

And here it is, the final song I'll be posting for quite some time. Track 30 of 30. And the first time I've used an accordion... https://t.co/sOcZpB0O51

Day 30! Song 30!
Here it is then. The final song. Thank god! This has been a lot of fun but I'm looking forward to reading a book, watching TV, listening to music other than my own, anything else!
But first, to finish, a love song for my wife. How sweet.
