💚Feels like a good day to reshare this. Podcast conversation with former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas with the release of my record Warmth of the Ages last year.
Congratulations to the Green Party for today's result. Feels like a move in the right direction to me.💚
My song 'Body' on BBC Sounds -appreciation.
A song about bodies looking after bodies and collective care. Wishing that for all- for me that's how we get back home.

NOW: Protestors are rallying in support of Al-Haq and GLAN’s case against the UK government arming Israel taking place right now at the High Court in London
🚨BREAKING: Activists have just turned the US Embassy pond red - because the US govt has BLOOD on its hands.
The US is fuelling the unfolding genocide in Gaza - we need to STOP arming the Israeli government now.
As a faith community we are proud to be part of the chorus of voices calling for climate justice.
Big polluters that have profited from extracting and burning fossil fuels should pay for the true costs of the climate loss and damage they have caused.
