After a busy, but great, week away in Germany last week with @dielinke, I’m delighted to be getting back to playing on home soil at the launch night of @leithfestival tomorrow night in the Leith Docker’s Club. It’s a real pleasure to be asked to play my first ever Leith Festival event! Please note, this event is for the sponsors and organiser of the Leith Festival and is therefore invite only. However, got to the Leith Festival page and check out what gigs they have on that you can get to and support!

So my tour around Germany with @dielinke is coming to an end, just one more gig in Potsdam this afternoon before I fly back home tomorrow. In the last few days we’ve been in Leipzig, Halle, Berlin and we’ve just finished in Cottbus. Thoroughly enjoyed my time on the tour taking the message of socialism, internationalism and anti-fascism everywhere we go. @redheadmusic_berlin

So, that’s Schweinfurt, Würzburg and Dresden done with @dielinke. Now we travel to Leipzig before going to Halle tonight ahead of tomorrow’s event there!

Another great couple of gigs yesterday in Germany with @dielinke. We were in Regensburg and Nürnberg. Today, we start in Schweinfurt, drive to Würzburg and then drive over night to Dresden ahead of tomorrow’s gigs!

Day one of the Germany tour with @dielinke is done. Had a nice time playing in the beautiful Townhall Square in Augsburg - I made a new fan as well! Tomorrow we go to Regensburg and Nürnberg!

‪This Sunday, I fly out to Munich to meet up with @dielinke on their European Elections campaign tour. I’ll be performing in Augsburg (20th), Regensburg (21st), Nurnberg (21st), Schweinfurt (22nd), Wurzberg (22nd), Dresden (23rd) and Halle (24th). I’m really proud to be going on this tour, taking The Left’s message of anti-fascism, internationalism, solidarity and socialism round the country. Thanks to @redheadmusic_berlin and Lars Larsen at Die Linke for arranging my place on the campaign trail. 🚩✊🌹🗳

Happy International Worker’s Day to each and every one of you! If you are fortunate to have the day off, I hope you enjoy yourself. This Saturday, I once again have the pleasure of performing at the Edinburgh May Day rally at the Pleasance Theatre. May Day gives us the opportunity to celebrate the working class in all its shapes, colours and diversity. Edinburgh has such a rich cultural heritage and such a great history of struggle in the working class and labour movement, not just in the UK, but internationally. It’s a pleasure to be able to play at the May Day rally which brings all of this together, but it’s also a privilege. The words that, for me, best encapsulates the sentiments of May Day are these from Antonio Gramsci: “The first stones of the new world, however coarse and unpolished they may be, are more beautiful than the sunset of a world in agony, and its swan songs”. ✊🚩🌹

Another lovely weekend enjoying sun, beer and Edinburgh with @elmcc 🌞

Good Friday greetings to you all. Spent part of my day playing around on my old fave and practicing this cover of Still Ill by The Smiths. I do hope you enjoy!

I’m so excited and delighted to announce that I’ll be travelling to Germany next month to join @dielinke on their European election campaign tour from the 19th-26th. I’ll be joining up with them in Augsburg before ending off in Potsdam a week later! I’ll be playing two gigs a day, and each day in a different town and city as the Left takes its message of socialism, justice, peace and anti-fascism round the country. Thanks to @redheadmusic_berlin for putting this together for me and to Lars at Die Linke too. Thrilled to be a part of this! Picture from my performance at Fest Der Linken in June last year 🎤🎸🚩
