eek! tv debut done ✅ ✅✅ after my pagan odyssey over the weekend i was invited onto newsnight on @bbc2 last night to discuss the complexities of british identity in light of the latest census results. many points missed out + was a bit of a whirlwind but managed to get a shout out to hounslow in there at least 😉 just wish i had the chance to ask the bishop of burnley what he felt about the tenfold increase in british shamans! next time… 🧙🏽‍♀️✨ 30 Nov 2022 Eek! I am very, very excited to finally reveal the cover of my first book, FINDING ALBION! 💚 This is my quest for an alternative story of Britain, one which lies beyond divisive national myths and symbols. It’s a journey through the nation’s otherworldly folk songs, ancient legends and seasonal rites; from Druid ceremonies held on Glastonbury Tor, to midwinter misrule on the streets of Penzance and the strange folk customs that travelled along slave trade routes across the former empire. The spirit of Albion is rising! And I can’t wait to share my quest with you all. FINDING ALBION publishes on the 19th March 2026 and is available to pre-order now from the link in my bio! 🏆✨ Music by @vanishingfaces 🌀 15 Dec 2025 FINDING ALBION is out tomorrow! here are 5 books that inspired the writing process 💚🏆 🎻 The Folk by Ross Cole 🌀 Mysterious Britain by Janet and Colin Bord 🌿 Green Unpleasant Land by Corinne Fowler 🇬🇩 The Big Drum Ritual of Carriacou by Lorna McDaniel 🪃 Sand Talk by Tyson Yunkaporta what should i read next??? thanks to @margotbowman + @warchilduk for the top 💖 18 Mar 2026 We are delighted that Finding Albion has been shortlisted for Blackwell’s Book of the Year 2026.

Video by @patrcksmth 18 Aug 2026 all this month @bbc6music is celebrating black british music in collaboration w/ @vam_east’s incredible ‘the music is black’ exhibition. i wanted to do something a little bit different on dream time so sunday’s show was a love letter to the black british pioneers who resisted the conventional categories reserved for black artists and forged their own musical paths, from punk to folk and ambient electronics 🖤 plus i was joined by writer and musician @steffimusics who gave us a sneak preview of her forthcoming book, ‘we were here: a history of black people and alternative music’, celebrating some of the artists who inspired her writing! listen back for legends like @joan_armatrading @labisiffremusic, @polystyreneofficial + @a.r.kaneband plus sounds from the new gen of experimenters: @cobysey, @airforcetone, @fauzia.1, @wulumusic, @rachelchinouriri + more! link in my bio ⚡️ clips: 1. joan armatrading - love and affection (1976) 2. davy graham - she moved through the fair (1963) 3. wu-lu - broken homes (2022, via @nts_radio) 4. x-ray spex - germ free adolescents (1978) 08 Aug 2026
