My blog post on on the importance of place for everyday creativity has been posted on the @ecnetwork22 website, inspired by Gaston Bachelard's book The Poetics of Space (1958) #place #everydaycreativity #poetry - read it here: https://t.co/oMGnldzcSC

@keithjknight @GreenManFest I’m so glad you were able to make it there. It truly is a wondrous, spiritual place and it is long since I was able to go. It’s time I went back!

With even leavers regretting Brexit, there’s one path back to rejoining the EU https://t.co/1W5vM1210y

@CateWheatley Nice!! 🤘🏻

Lovely to finally visit @FilmLeigh last night at @SpinnersMill @LeighFilm! A labour of love to be sure, but great to see what has become of the bare space I saw in March 2020; little did any of us know then what was just around the corner! Banshees of Inisherin hit the spot too!

@gretchenpeters @barelywashed I am so pleased to have been able to see you for the first (& last!) time this evening. Your songs have meant so much to me over recent years, and helped me through some tough times. Tonight was a delight, and emotional, thank you!

@kimrichey so lovely to see you play at last. I have loved Glimmer since it came out, so thank you for playing Come Around!

Looks like Wigan’s finest @_tvam are playing @RamsgateMH tonight!! Would love to be there! Have fun one and all and @Indiefangurl @154wire

An extremely difficult morning was mitigated to some small degree by completing two more stereo remixes for @blackopalband this afternoon - My Siren & Southern Skies today #survivingadoption #everydaycreativity #creativityforwellbeing

A song I wish I’d written because it does all the things I love: @PorcupineTree’s .3 …

The most beautiful song about a tragedy: Heart Attack in a Lay-by …

All round superb suite of music: In Absentia

Just sayin’…

[Owen Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺🇩🇪 @owen2e]

Today’s sun-drenched musical inspiration before some more @blackopalband new-song remixing is the beautiful inspirational soundscape of @TimBowness & @giancarloerra’s Memories of Machines! Perfect music for shafts of sunlight sneaking through the blinds… at the centre of it all

Hey, @Indiefangurl & @154wire! After a bit of polishing, tidying, tweaking and editing, No Pressure turns out to be one hell of a epic @blackopalband track!! 🤘🏻#theonethatnearlygotaway

Warming up for the next batch of @blackopalband new song remixing today in a sun-drenched room with arguably the finest album of the year so far, @slowreadersclub’s Knowledge Freedom Power

@agnesjuliet What I have done is invite people who have served as peer reviewers for us, supported the journal with professionalism & enthusiasm above & beyond, as a way of saying thank you. I hope it makes them feel valued for the work they do, without which we’d be lost.

[Owen Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺🇩🇪 @owen2e]

In between doing some stereo remixes of @blackopalband’s 12 new post-lockdown demos -Kick & Breathe- I have been listening to @OfficialOMD’s groundbreaking Architecture & Morality (1st LP I bought) & Dazzle Ships, @Sian_Kosheen’s timeless Kokopelli & the new Depeche Mode album

[Owen Evans 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺🇩🇪 @owen2e]

@rode4music Lovely to see you on here, Rod! Hope you’re both keeping well. It’s been way way way too long…! A bientôt!
