It's Bandcamp Friday!
Today @bandcamp.com waives its revenue share fee, meaning that nearly all sales of music and merchandise go directly to the artist.
Here's who's playing LTYLR this month's Bandcamp links!

#LivetoyourLivingRoom
Folk and jazz are both such free genres of music. There’s so much room to make things your own, improvise, and add non-standard chords that still work with the music.
Laughter, as it is often said, is a great medicine, and nowadays we need large doses of it.
We’re currently finishing recording our first-ever album as a trio, so keep a lookout for an official release date and album launch gigs.
We caught up with folk-jazz trio Pagoda Project ahead of their upcoming show on Friday 20 February.
How are they getting on with a new addition to their group, and what's their go-to tea order?

Superb evening yesterday listening & watching #LeonRosselson & @robbjohnson.bsky.social #LiveToYourLivingRoom What a remarkable musical life Leon has led & still so sharp & clued up with politics! Robb, of course, a natural to pair with him! Thanks both & #LiveToYourLivingRoom for putting them on!
Listening to Martin Carthy’s beautiful performance of Scarborough Fair (accompanied by Sheema Mukherjee on Sitar) on this weeks Radio 2 Folk Show needed to hear more. So his online gig @ #LivetoYourLivingroom on the 12th June seems a perfect introduction livetoyourlivingroom.com/events/marti...

Image shows a sketch of a farmer bent over digging potatoes, entitled "3 ACRES + A COW - A HISTORY OF LAND RIGHTS + PROTEST IN FOLK SONG + STORY".
Duncan sits against a white backdrop with a geometric design of circles in varying sizes. He has dark hair & stubble, wears a dizty print shirt, and gazes intensely to camera whilst holding his fiddle vertically infront of him.
Sam stands in what appears to be a dilapidated old warehouse. He has short sandy coloured hair & stubble, and wears a casual dark shirt with sleeves rolled up. He smiles warmly whilst cradling his fiddle to the right side of his body.
Spiers & Boden stand infront of a window in a whitewashed corridor, both wearing dark coloured jackets and gazing towards the ceiling. In the foreground, Spiers leans his back against the wall, holding his melodeon at waist height. Behind him, Boden leans his elbow against the wall, holding his bow at a jaunty angle.
Happy February! We've got some fantastic gigs planned this month, including the rescheduled While, Matthews & While show. Check out our events page to find out more.

A black and white photo of Karine Polwart singing into a fancy microphone. Karine has short dark hair and glasses, and is wearing a fabulous necklace.
Sandra Kerr (wearing splendid earrings) cradles her concertina and looks directly at the camera. She has dark hair elegantly laced with grey and makes you wish she was your grandma.
Blair Dunlop (a white man with a bear and curly dark hair) stands in a field and stares moodily at the camera. He has a fancy patterned shirt on, unbuttoned over a white vest and looks terribly dashing.
It's all go at LTYLR HQ this week with not one, not two, but three amazing gigs! We welcome Blair Dunlop on the 16th, Karine Polwart on the 17th, and Sandra Kerr & the Kerr Fagan Family on the 19th.
