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
1/11
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
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.

RT if you want the Monarchy gone.

@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.
@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.
