Our next show is May 13th with @brokenchanter.bsky.social Sassyhiya and Emma Kupa, then May 27 with @carlajeaston.bsky.social Schande and Count Jaakola - tickets for both from wegottickets.com/fikarecordings

Totally sold out for June’s show with Norman Blake, Adam Ross and Robin Ince!

Thank you to all you absolute shaggers who bought it this week.

I know it’s not cool to care about it, and it doesn’t *really* matter, but I got home from a big cycle to Loch Lomond today to find out that ‘This Could be Us, You, Or Anybody Else’ is at #23 in the Scottish Album Chart, and #75 in the UK Download Chart

Everyone has worked very hard and it is nice

Man, these guys must constantly be wondering why the wallet inspector is taking so long to come back with their stuff.

My favourite thing about Bluesky is how it doesn’t work.

A big thank you to Len Pennie for having me on The Arts Mix on BBC Radio Scotland this afternoon to chat about ‘This Could be Us, You, Or Anybody Else’. Which is out now, by the way, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned.

Listen again online and on BBC Sounds.

Congratulations to David @brokenchanter.bsky.social on his excellent fourth album out on this very label today.

CHEM290 is a fine release indeed and one that we are very proud to have lovingly and carefully chucked into the world on vinyl, CD, and DD.

Get yours 👇

Take the edge off Monday afternoon.

Thanks for coming out!

A rare wee session from @brokenchanter.bsky.social at @assaiglasgow.bsky.social (aye but Aberdeen tho) #nowplaying #vinyl

ABERDEEN.

We are doing an instore for you at 12noon TODAY at Assai Records on Back Wynd.

Mon down.

Went out on a big cycle in the spring sunshine this morning to get rid of some the adrenaline that comes from releasing a record/squeezing five instores across a country over four days.

Thank you for all the love that you’ve shown TCBUYOAE. I’m quite taken aback tbh.

I am so happy and so proud to be able to say that ‘This Could be Us, You, Or Anybody Else’ is out today. I still find it mad that I’ve done four records as Broken Chanter at all, never mind since 2019. A huge thank you to @chemunderground.bsky.social for putting their faith in me again.

Excellent!

This is just the start, of course. We’ll be out on the road and getting to as many of you as possible in the next couple of months and well beyond.

I’m really proud of it, so grab yourself a copy and enjoy.

See you soon

So, aye. It’s out there and available direct from Chemikal Underground, in all formats, and from all good record shops on gorgeous vinyl & CD, across the globe.

Thank you so much to all of you who’ve got it already. It really means the world, you know, and it keeps us on the road and making records

We’re at Some Great Reward in Glasgow TODAY at 6pm. We’re at @mofidelityrecords.bsky.social in Montrose at 3pm tomorrow. Then Assai in Aberdeen at 12noon and Assai in Dundee at 3pm on Sunday. A busy weekend! @voxboxmusic.bsky.social is our destination on Record Store Day on the 18th.

Charlotte & I kicked off the duo performance/signing instores at @lowportmusic.bsky.social yesterday. We signed some more copies for those of you from the Linlithgow Metropolitan area who were away on yer Easter hols, and popped into @monorailmusic.bsky.social to sign their copies of the album.

Eternal thanks to Charlotte, Bart, Martin, and Paul for the hard work they put into it. Much love to Rachel Campbell, Rose McConnachie, and Stephanie Gibson for making the sleeve look so gorgeous.

Huge gratitude to Ailsa Harper for her guidance and for keeping me from losing my mind entirely.
