@msimpsonian My old stomping ground. Played there many times. Have a good one!

Another track from my acoustic guitar instrumental album, 'Arboretum'. This is called 'Reverie'. https://t.co/PdrPEOXIRY

I wrote this tune after reading a book about Violet Jessop and was moved to write her a tune. The story is revealed in the video! https://t.co/QWAdlDDxgk

Another little ditty from my second album.

This track centres around some very deep subject matter - but to Hades with that! Gentle acoustic nylon-string buffoonery for your post-yule listening pleasure… https://t.co/EMgVueEfK1

Another year, another birthday! 🥂😀

This week's pre-yule track is another little DADGAD + partial capo ditty called 'Waterfalling'. Hope you enjoy - and season's greetings to one and all! https://t.co/TC6t1hNhKn

AI, lad… Interesting one, this. Thanks to my son Toby's ingenuity, we've managed to upscale this video of me recording this track from my Arboretum album by using AI. Excuse the intro and outro info cards - both are out of date. https://t.co/rFYZEcO0Is

And here we are again with a track that brings back memories of the summer of '76 and a bike ride through some woodland where someone had been burning wood and the beams of light through the trees looked like a Yes gig. Enjoy! https://t.co/4wSjxd1sae

Another track from the 'Arboretum' album. Enjoy! https://t.co/qEX1rJJLSW

This week's trip down memory lane is 'Twilight Whispers'. I think this is one of my favourites…

This track was inspired in part by a visit to Westonbirt Arboretum, near Bath and became the title of my second album. https://t.co/aPuhtoy2Xb

The final track on my 'Nocturnal' album is an ambient instrumental. Bit of a dreamscape… https://t.co/7VoWNphQ4J

[David Mead @DavMead]

The only 'band' track on my first album was inspired by hearing Coltrane's version of this piece. Here I am accompanied by Ken Knussen on bass and Brian Kettle on drums.

Further to my posting the album version of this little ditty on Friday, I dug up a version of me playing it live on one of the rare occasions that I unchain myself from a computer and play live! https://t.co/mnibtfc53l

Well, it's nearly winter…
