Was thrilled last night both to be supporting Chris Wood and playing in Oxford's famous Holywell Music Room. Me and Josie (the current line-up of 'Telling the Bees') were joined for one song by the hardest working husband and wife folk duo in Oxford, Colin Fletcher and Jane Griffiths on double bass and fiddle respectively - sounded lush. Chris, meanwhile, played an absolutely blinder, reducing most of the audience to tears with 'One in a Million'. A top evening.

I had fun speaking at Synergy on friday - I haven't been to a psy-trance event for about ten years so nice and exciting to be back in that environment. After the talk I met a woman (sorry, didn't catch your name) who had been hassled by Police up on Hay Bluff - if it's you can you get in touch - The Guardian are interested in running a story on this.

Anyone coming to see me talk at Synergy tomorrow might like to know that I'm now on at the slightly later time of 10.40pm. See you there....

As I understand it this year's mushroom season has been disappointing. An unusually mild autumn giving way to sudden sharp frosts seems to have severely reduced pickings. Unless anyone out there can put me right?
