Summer Sale Now On… 🎶🍎🎶
50% off music & art | 20% off made2order

A gorgeous thing happened when I was at The 1865 with John Hackett Band last month (and I shall be back next month with ZIO!)

Having just released Appleseed that weekend, I talked a little bit about it in my set before playing it, about how I used to refer to Harlan, and Drayke as Apple Pip whilst I was first pregnant with them.

A lovely fellow called Duncan, who I’d never met before came to talk to me afterwards and told me that he had a very soon to be born grand child on the way, who was also being referred to as Pip for the same reasons! 🍎❤️✨

He very kindly bought print number one, asking me if the lyric sheet could be framed alongside the cover, so he could give it as a gift when little Pip, or Pippa arrived.

One month later, a wonderful job of framing the artwork has been accomplished and a little baby girl named Pippa has now arrived in the world!

Upon reading the words, apparently Mama Emily had a wee cry 🥲🥰 Congratulations Emily & John!

Thank you Duncan for the beautiful pic and sharing your magical story and photo.

By design, all my ‘Ol 45 Style’ single cover prints come in two halves, so they can be framed side by side.

There’s a sale on them at the moment too. They’re all 50% off for the rest of the Summer.
(As are all CDs, DVDs, LPs, prints & Originals)

If we can’t have actual sun, we may as well have sunny offers 😋

Live music The Habit, on Goodramgate, York tomorrow night… 🎶🐝🎶

Hello… 🎶

I appeared in one of Heather’s illustrations yesterday and she asked me let you know that she’ll be at The Habit, on Goodramgate, York tomorrow evening with Simon Snaize,
where they’ll do their Heather & Si thing.

They don’t (yet) have any songs about Robin’s (that’s me), but they do have some songs that talk about Blackbirds, Eagles and Magpies… Even Mayflies get a mention!

If you like live music, you don’t even have to be an ornathologist (birdie-watcher), you could go see them play!

If you like dancing, you could also take your clogs too. It seems to be a thing.

They’ll be there between 8.30pm and 11pm.
