Off to bed before playing a coffee #concert in #Lisse tomorrow morning with a fab band. Hope I can sleep despite the excitement!

Wait Out the Storm Featuring blues oboist Francesco Marcheselli, this song tells of dark autumn days and a troubled upbringing.

From #Leiden to #Milan and from light funk to #classical - a lot of styles and cultures come together in this new single that I’ve just released!

My single Pray for Rain is on The Sound Lab radio for the next four weeks... Looking at their playlist, including AEROSMITH, Lana del Rey and Tame Impala, I'm in good company!!!

I just received this beautiful gift as a thank-you for something that had been an absolute pleasure for me. I’m just overawed by the leatherwork and the generosity. Thank you so, so much!

Marc Govan releases a rock-fueled anthem "Pray for Rain" ahead of "High Tide" album Sometimes music arrives as a release, and a thunderclap of feeling that reflects the crisis that we endure in the world. "Pray for Rain," Marc Govan's

Oh my goodness, what a review! Thank you Lyrical Odyssey!

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Thank you Josie! I was hesitant to put this into the set but was convinced by… the drummer!

Oh nee! Dat zou vréselijk zijn!

What a fascinating image! I love how the head looks more like a sculpture and the arms more human. At least, to me.

Midnight Waltz - live YouTube video by Marc Govan

I just put a #live video of a beautiful #country #waltz on YouTube. Lighting was suitably subdued, so I chose this thumbnail instead of an auto-select one. What do you think?

Dankjewel voor de reactie. Ik vind dat plaatsing van X als kanaal op jullie site suggereert dat het een fatsoenlijk medium is. Het komt over als advertentie voor dat platform. Daarnaast voeden reposts het haatzaaiende algoritme. Ik hoop dat jullie deze kritiek doorgeven aan de globale organisatie.

A brief background story about Francesco Marcheselli and how that gorgeous #oboe tune came about... Can't wait to put it on #vinyl next year!

Wait Out the Storm (teaser) Featuring the amazing blues oboist Francesco Marcheselli, this song has the most complex texture of all Marc's songs so far. The full song with all the vocals will be available on the album High Tide

It's almost the longest night of the year, and this part of a gorgeous tune I wrote featuring an #oboe seems particularly fitting for #MusicSky

I’m now free of #facebook and #instagram and already look forward to a productive day on 16 December 2025 - without sponsored shit and/or political division.

I’m on Signal, similar to WhatsApp! X

I'm so pleased that Bandzoogle - which powers my musician website - has added the @bsky.app logo to the list of pages one can link to from the homepage! Thanks!

Tivoli gig Sunday, 7 December 2025 saw our first gig with a complete band. The venue was the central hall at Tivoli, Utrecht, which is one of the best-known venue ...

I had such an amazing gig with Scrapheap at Tivoli in Utrecht! Even though half the band was initially stuck on a train that had hit a tree, they got to the venue just in time and we all played a great set filled with songs I’ve written over the years. Thanks band!
