Cue blockbuster movie trailer voice-over:
This Valentine’s Day…
None of the greatest love stories ever told…
But don’t let that deter you…

Best of 2025.
Dove Ellis' debut is the most blown away I've been about an album in years.
Little Simz album launch and Richard Hawley playing Coles Corner in full were absolute highlights.
@jenniferballads.bsky.social, @naturetvband.bsky.social dropping classics and the return of Blankenberge ❤️
Fantastic line-up which includes @jenniferballads.bsky.social Congratulations Jennifer!
I dare you !!!!
RIP Frank O'Gorman. He was a lovely man and a brilliant historian, and I was very fortunate that he was my PhD supervisor. I will miss him.

Isn’t that the bloody coolest album cover ever of all time ✨ @jenniferballads.bsky.social Ballad of the Gatekeeper 🌿
Clogs, salon talons and a Tupac t-shirt. Jennifer Reid is a stunner @jenniferballads.bsky.social
The album cover for Jennifer Reid’s ‘the ballad of the gatekeeper’ on vinyl, showing an oil painting of her (by the artist Ian Bruce) with the album title in neon letters over the top, with the sleeve notes laid on top saying ‘folk is dead, long live folk’
I got the new album from @jenniferballads.bsky.social in the post and a line in the sleeve notes shows how she and I are singing from the same hymn sheet, her for folk, me for church “I believe you should try to get everywhere like water, make the tradition undeniable, support people to participate”
A copy of Jennifer Reid's LP freshly arrived by post
Yay!
It's here 🤩
Haven't had chance to play it yet but worth every penny for the artwork alone.
Proud to call Jenn a friend yet even I did not see something of such import coming. As a wordsmith I know the term 'unique' is almost always mis-used but in this case, it is fully justified. Listen, learn and be moved.
On a glorious Friday in Manchester, @jenniferballads.bsky.social is in full song.
Forget the kings and queens and all that guff, Jennifer Reid keeps our real history alive.
This will be a great project - traditional Lancashire folk, broadsides, radical history.
We published Jenn, yonks ago. If you’re not familiar with her work we urge you to become so…
