HighDryPirate

A pirate, high & dry, and far from the sea. But she is calling, and I will sing to her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@bleupegasus I know that in a broken country, beautiful people are doing beautiful work. Please look after yourself while you look after those around you. 🙏🏻

Reading is part of my home, my musical family, and it’s very sad to hear of the terrible events which took place in #ForburyGardens yesterday. Thinking of my lovely #Berkshire #community. #rdg #berks #Readingattack

Had a fantastic afternoon at @swan_radio in #Wraysbury recording a 2-hour show on “Songs of the Sea” with #maritime historian Roy F. Lots of #seashanties and more, trad & contemporary. Will share podcast when it’s ready! #folkmusic #singing #community

@thames_travel Hello, is Wallingford Bunkfest shuttle (BF) still running? We’ve been waiting half an hour now!

[HighDryPirate @HighDryPirate]

@RBFRSofficial @MaidenheadFS @SloughFS @WindsorFS @Bucksfire PLEASE remember:

1. Make sure someone has called 999 (if not sure, do it yourself)

2. Don’t get too close, and don’t stop driving to get a picture. You may be blocking a fire engine.

3. If someone tells you the road is blocked, it probably is. Take a short detour to stay safe.

@MayorofGM How can you end #roughsleeping in #Mcr by 2020? I was taking spare food to city’s #homeless 25 years ago. Respect your aims, but what has really changed since then? @Channel4News @crisis_uk

When is an Inter-Varsity Folk Dance Festival not an Inter-Varsity Folk Dance Festival? #ICBINI #icantbelieveitsnotIVFDF

Don't forget to sing a Shanty when visiting Pieseas this weekend -probably the best chippy in the world! https://t.co/kUVzubxzg0

@ceilidhclub @AskewSisters @em_askew And all very talented musicians, I should add! 🎻🎼🎸🥁🎺💃🏻🕺🏻

[HighDryPirate @HighDryPirate]

Hmm...half of tonight's @ceilidhclub band "Ceilidh Factor" look much like @AskewSisters. The one who looks like @em_askew calls really well!
