@historylvr84 @Dr_BellaR So it is! Very weird altogether.

@Number10cat But I can only watch this with the sound down.

@haveigotnews As a mere human, I cannot begin to express just how much I love this photograph.

@SwordsaintPress @TheGooseIsOut @ivyhousenunhead This man is a wonderful singer, if you've never heard him before then you definitely should!

[David McLean @SwordsaintPress]

FOLK S.O.S.! RT early & often pls. A 🧵

The lovely Nyge & Sue @TheGooseIsOut run folk gigs @ivyhousenunhead most months. They’re lynchpins of the South London scene, which is vibrant & growing.

Next gig on 31 May is Thomas McCarthy, the great Irish trad singer.

BUT

Just a reminder that 14 yrs ago there were no waiting lists over 18-weeks, no 12-hour A&E waits, no waiting an hour for an urgent ambulance, over 90% of cancer patients started treated within two months, everyone could see their GP within 2-days,…

Then we got the Tories

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

@squeezyjohn Yes.

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

Nice words from @RaycooperRay

[Ray Cooper @RaycooperRay]

Pleased to have Ian Anderson play the track I made with the wonderful @ben_paley 'The Sky Was Black With Diamonds'

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.
RT if you want the Monarchy gone.

@QaysSediqi @BladeoftheS Steady. Don't judge "most British citizens" by our hateful government.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

We don't think doctors are the best people to judge whether someone is too ill to work, so we are giving that job to unqualified private contractors, whose pay will depend on finding everyone fit for work.

@AlderonNFTs @danielgoyal Nope.

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

@columnatedrunes I am slightly ashamed of how very much I like this tweet.

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

@BrexitBassist What a laughable pile of crap.

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

@Helen_Lindley @elizacarthy @sweeneyfiddle @boden_jon @Mikeykenney I'd love to hear it!

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

@elizacarthy @Helen_Lindley @sweeneyfiddle @boden_jon @Mikeykenney The permutations are mind-boggling!

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

@Helen_Lindley @elizacarthy @sweeneyfiddle @boden_jon @Mikeykenney Well, it's over half way to an octave, so unless you really need that bottom fourth it's a relatively cheap way of doing it. I really only use it for recording.

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

@Helen_Lindley @elizacarthy @sweeneyfiddle @boden_jon @Mikeykenney I've never used octave strings, but I have a big-ish fiddle strung up as a viola, and that works really well for my simple needs.

[Ben Paley @ben_paley]

@KenHunt01 @rongould33 I was! He was basically responsible for my broad and eclectic taste. Thanks dad 😎
