There is a lawsuit, Al-Tammimi v. Adelson, that is making its way through the federal courts. The lawsuit was brought by a group of Palestinians and Palestinian/Americans asking for damages of 34.5 billion dollars resulting from Israeli settlements in the West Bank including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians claim that the defendants, pro-Israel donors and organizations, banks, contractors working for Israel and deputy National Security Advisor Abrams conspired to expel Non Jews from their land and otherwise harm them. Defendants include Americans Sheldon Adelson, Lawrence Ellison, Haim Saban, Irving Moskowitz, John Hagee and Israeli Lev Leviev. The appeals court decision is here
The suit was first brought in a US Federal district court (the "trial court") alleging that the defendants "funneled millions of dollars through the defendant tax-exempt entities and banks to Israeli villages called "settlements." Armed with this financial assistance, the settlement leaders hired full-time security coordinators who trained a militia of Israeli settlers to kill Palestinians and confiscate their property. The defendant construction and support firms destroyed property belonging to the Palestinians and built settlements in its place" and deputy national security advisor of the United States publicly endorsed the settlements.
The plaintiffs pressed four claims: "(1) civil conspiracy, (2) genocide and other war crimes, (3) aiding and abetting genocide and other war crimes and (4) trespass."
The trial court dismissed the suit, relying on the doctrine that it is inappropriate for a court to determine matters that are inherently political and more properly decided by Congress and/or the President. The trial court found that the case required it to "adjudicate and resolve the lawfulness of the development of Israeli settlements…" Such a ruling, the trial court said, was "simply inappropriate for this court to resolve. Instead, these issues must be decided by the political branches."
According to Haaretz, Israeli legal organization, Shurat Hadin, that claims to represent victims of terror, praised the trial court decision, and incorrectly stated that "cases such as this are brought solely to furnish a foundation of legal legitimacy for the BDS movement, and undermine the legitimacy of Israel." And then, perhaps for vengeance, added the hope that "the judge will see clear to impose the large costs of these proceedings on the plaintiffs." Imposition of costs is routine in some countries but unusual in the US.
On February 19, 2019 a panel of the Washington, DC Federal Circuit Court of Appeals (the "appeals court") unanimously reversed the trial court and ruled that a trial court could find the defendants liable without deciding who owns the land. Although the appeals court did not decide liability, it sent the case back to the trial court for trial.
The appeals court agreed with the trial court that the issue of sovereignty over the land is political, but found that the case could be dismissed only if none of its claims could be resolved without deciding the political issue. In other words, they ruled that the Plaintiff's claims can be separated from the issue of sovereignty over the land.
The lawsuit was brought primarily under a federal law entitled, the Alien Tort Statute ("ATS"). The ATS provides, in part, that federal courts can hear a civil action by a nonresident non- US citizen for a wrong "that is committed in violation of the law of nations." The appeals court noted that "it is well settled that genocide violates the law of nations." The court found that there is a definition of genocide within international law, that is: "[k]illing members of [a national, ethnic, racial or religious group] with intent to destroy [the group], in whole or in part."
"Thus, the ATS—by incorporating the law of nations …—provides a judicially manageable standard to determine whether Israeli settlers are committing genocide." In so stating, the appeals court is telling the trial court that this is the proper standard for its decision, and that this is not a "political" issue. (by political, they mean in the narrow sense of sovereignty involved in this case).
This decision can be appealed to a larger panel of the appeals court or to the Supreme Court, absent a successful appeal by the defendants, the Palestinians will be able to proceed. The district court has not yet reheard the case.
It seems to me like a big deal that three federal appeals judges ruled unanimously that the plaintiffs may proceed to argue that Israeli settlers and their benefactors have committed or aided in genocide.
However, the mainstream media has declined to cover this crucial case. A search of The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal yielded no results. The case was covered by a few smaller outlets and by Bloomberg, Reuters (which included a summary that was at least partially correct) and by the Jerusalem Post (that complained the Palestinian plaintiffs failed to present the Israeli narrative). The Electronic Intifada covered the initial filing but does not seem to have followed the case. And Haaretz and the Times of Israel wrote about the dismissal by the district court but not that it was overturned on appeal. This strikes me as scant coverage of an important case.
Finally, a part of the United States government is treating Palestinians as people who have at least potential rights even against billionaires, and most of our media has not bothered to tell us the story.

Busy, Busy - when I get the time!
I'm working on Christmas Presents at the moment - it's sneaking up on us pretty fast!
Shhh.. Don't tell Hugga!
I think she'll like it, at least I hope she does! I made it using the tutorial from Chocolate on my Cranium. It was really, really easy. I see more of these in my future, I can think of a few kids that would love to have these. Plus Hugga needs one for her markers too ;)
I didn't forget about Taters - I made her a snuggly blanket. I used JoAnns snuggle fleece that was on sale a few weeks back and bound it with some satin blanket binding that my good friend Trudi passed along to me. It's silky & soft - what baby doesn't love that? If I make a blanket like this again there are a few things I'd do differently - I'd definitely zig zag from the start. I started out straight stitching all the way around until I hit a corner and while I thought I was catching both sides, in some places I wasn't so I went back afterwards and zig zagged it and it's great now.
Straight-stitching was a waste of time for me.
I also made some babylegs from some socks I found on clearance at Target! I tried a small cuff and a large cuff - one for Hugga & one for Taters, they both work really well!

text: September 28, 2010 The Many Faces Of Louisiana Bassin' Natural lakes, artificial reservoirs, marshes, swamps: All confront anglers with very different sorts of conditions. But the common denominator linking our multifaceted bass waters is: catching the bigmouths! (April 2006) By Glynn Harris While I enjoy fishing with a cane pole, there's something about "chunkin' and windin'" that I've always liked. Sure, you can catch lots of fish while holding a pole and watching a bobber but when you're reeling a lure and a bass smacks it, that's the height of fun for me.I still vividly recall the first time I ever felt a bass on the end of the line, when, at about the age of 9 or 10, I was casting a Hawaiian Wiggler from the sandy banks of Molido Creek. I lofted the lure next to a cypress knee on the far bank, and, two turns of the reel later, I felt a jolt. I didn't so much reel the bass in as launch him airborne over my head to land on the bank behind me. I have no doubt that bass still lurk behind the cypress knees of Molido Creek just as they did when I was a kid. In fact, dams were constructed across some of those old streams to form small lakes. Bigger lakes in Louisiana came into existence in much the same way, except that their creation involved moving tons and tons of earth to create a reservoir. Both types of impoundments offer plenty of exciting bass fishing activity today. And then there are the Bayou State's natural lakes, many of which were formed along the Red River, which cuts a swath from the northwestern corner of the state cutting diagonally across the heart of Louisiana. Periodic floods undermined the trees along the river's bank, dumping them into the roiling water and forming a series of logjams that extended approximately 150 miles. These jams artificially raised the banks of the river and created numerous lakes along the river in low spots along the tributaries to the Red.A significant number of these lakes have been lost, but several of them were saved, paradoxically, by the construction of dams. These lakes include Lake Iatt, Saline Lake, Nantachie Lake, Wallace Lake, Lake Bistineau, Black Lake, and Caddo Lake. Some of these lakes are popular as fishing sites; the last three in the preceding list lead the way. One feature typifies these old natural lakes: a profusion of trees, namely cypress and tupelo gum. Because of the presence of trees, pleasure boaters, water-skiers, and personal watercraft are usually not a problem for anglers. While these lakes are usually fairly shallow, other lakes such as Toledo Bend have some extremely deep water. This monster of a pond has some water 60 feet deep along the Sabine River channel that runs through it. At the same time, however, Toledo Bend has shallow flats that may average less than 5 feet in depth.Early in the year prior to the spawn, bass in deeper portions of Louisiana's lakes will spend most of the time in or over deep water. As water temperatures warm in early spring, bass will begin moving toward the back of the coves and other stretches of shallow water where spawning will take place once water temperatures reach the mid-50s. Bouncing a jig with a pork or plastic trailer down the side of submerged creek or river channels can sometimes produce eye-popping catches. Locating concentrations of suspended bass on sonar is a help in dictating the choice of lure and approach. Carolina-rigged plastic worms will often produce on fish suspended a few feet off the bottom. Other lures such as jigging spoons, plastic grubs and tailspinners are designed to be dropped and hopped right in the face of a bass. Once the fish begin moving to the shallow spawning areas, plastic lizards or finesse lures tossed in and around nesting areas can often produce strikes from some of the year's largest bass.South Louisiana lakes are in general shallower on average than are upstate lakes. As a result, their spawn usually occurs earlier than it does at some of the deeper lakes, simply because the water warms quicker.No matter the type of lake -- natural or artificial, deep or shallow -- one constant applies: Bass relate to structure be it grass, mossbeds, sunken trees or stumps. Anglers who take care in thoroughly fishing jigs, plastic worms and crankbaits or slow-rolled spinner baits around these areas can expect good results. GRAND BAYOUOne of the state's newest lakes, Grand Bayou, has offered exciting bass fishing since it was formed. While fishing for schooling bass has been a fun activity in recent years, some real wallhanger bass have been caught at this productive little lake as well.MISSISSIPPI OXBOWSAnother type of lake found within the borders of Louisiana is the ox-bow lake. Over the years, the Mississippi River, which forms the boundary between Louisiana and Mississippi, has changed its mind as to where it wants its channel to be. The channel has shifted this way and that, and when it lops off a bend and carves out a new course, oxbow lakes are left behind.Some of these oxbows were created years ago, long before the present levee system was in operation. Many are outside the levee and are unaffected by the ebb and flow of the Mississippi. Others, however, are inside the levees, and when the river rises or falls, so do these lakes. The result can be frustration for camp owners along these lakes. It can also produce some absolutely fantastic fishing.When the river waters push into these oxbow lakes, fresh water, nutrients, forage and game fish come along for the ride. Once the river level subsides, the bounty remains in the lakes inside the levees, resulting in hot fishing for bass as well as other species of game fish.Anglers frequently check with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers offices along the Mississippi to get the latest forecast for river stages. The best scenario is for the river and oxbow lakes to crest and begin a slow fall. Fishing can sizzle when these conditions exist at a few or all of the scores of oxbow lakes along the course of the mighty Mississippi.ATCHAFALAYA BASINPerhaps one of the most remarkable areas in the nation, the Atchafalaya Basin is hard to describe. A sprawling maze of bayous, lakes, rivers and sloughs, it teems with all sorts of wildlife, including bass and other species of freshwater fish.The area is so large that even on weekends, with hundreds of boats on the water, a fisherman can go all day without seeing other anglers. As a result, fishing pressure is usually kept to a minimum, guaranteeing a better fishing experience.Located within the basin are Lakes Henderson, Lake Verrett and Bayou Pigeon, all favorite areas for bass anglers from around the state. The flats on the north and south end of the basin are especially popular; there, jigs flipped into holes in the grass or Carolina-rigged worms fished along the edges of mossbeds are known to be productive lures.COASTAL MARSHAny article covering bass fishing in Louisiana would be incomplete without considering the marsh, which offers perhaps one of the most unusual methods of catching bass that any state has to offer.Unfortunately this area, especially in southeast Louisiana, will have to start over, having been blasted by Hurricane Katrina this past summer. There is no doubt that the area will recover -- Hurricane Andrew created similar chaos in 1992, and the area bounced back sooner than most thought it would. The marsh is a flat, wetland area that defines the lower reaches of the state before it eases off into the Gulf of Mexico. Some of the marsh is salt water, some fresh, some brackish. It's here, especially in the brackish areas, that you can encounter a phenomenon known to attract anglers from across the country to the southern boundary of Louisiana. Bass abound here, as do saltwater species such as redfish, speckled trout and flounder. Because of this, every strike is a surprise -- you don't know what you'll have on the end of the line. The marsh is unique because it's affected by the tides. As the tides ebb and flow, baitfish react accordingly, and the bass take full advantage. For example, when the tide is falling, marsh ponds, and the baitfish in them, drain into the bigger channels where the bass and other species of game fish, are waiting.Anglers who fish the marsh regularly usually look for the clearest water they can find and fish spinner baits and jigs around the cane and marsh grass. Marsh bass usually don't grow as large as do their upstate cousins, but the numbers of bass you can catch make up for the size deficit. When you consider the variety of fishable waters around Louisiana, it is obvious that the state's lakes, be they natural, artificial or tidal marsh, make up the bulk of the fishable acreage. However, Louisiana also has a number of rivers and streams that offer some of the finest fishing to be found anywhere.RED RIVERIn northwest Louisiana, a new fishery has been created along one of the state's most vital tributaries, the aforementioned Red River. Whereas clearing the logjams nearly a century and a half ago created an abundance of lakes, action by the Corps a decade or so ago created yet another exciting fishery.A series of five locks and dams resulted in the creation of five pools between Shreveport and Alexandria. What was once a rolling river, usually too fast and muddy for most anglers, has been converted into a set of placid, generally clear waters, all capable of producing outstanding catches of bass.Then there are the myriad oxbow lakes off the river, which offer some of the state's best angling, not only for bass for crappie, bream and catfish as well.Around the locks are rock jetties that are to baitfish as honey is to bees. Fishing crankbaits, jigs and Carolina-rigged worms around these jetties can be quite productive. OUACHITA RIVERIn northeast Louisiana, the Ouachita River has long been known as one of the state's best bass fisheries. Today, some of the nation's most prestigious bass tournament circuits regularly visit the Ouachita.Not only does the river itself offer top bass fishing, but the lakes off the river as well as the streams that feed it are excellent bass fishing areas as well. Most anglers who regularly fish the Ouachita look for points or cuts where water is running into the river, fishing these areas thoroughly with crankbaits or Carolina-rigged worms. Often in spring, when water is high enough to push fresh water into the river lakes, some of the state's best bass angling can be found here on the Ouachita. CALCASIEU RIVERIn southwest Louisiana, the Calcasieu River features brackish water in its lower end, where it empties into Calcasieu Lake with fresh water above the saltwater barrier near Lake Charles.The mouths of the streams that empty into the Calcasieu are especially good for bass. Fishing plastic worms, jigs or crankbaits on the downstream side of the mouth of any of these streams can be quite productive. There are also some excellent streams in southeast Louisiana, including the Amite, Comite and Tchefuncte rivers. However, the effects of Hurricane Katrina will undoubtedly slow these areas down for a year or so.One special thing about many of these southeastern Louisiana streams is the fact that while there are plenty of largemouth bass there for the taking, this area is the state's most popular area for another type of bass, the Kentucky or spotted bass. Plastic worms, spinners and crankbaits fished in and around sunken brush or around points in these rivers are excellent spotted bass producers.If you like variety in your Louisiana bass fishing, then we hope that we've given you plenty of options to investigate. If you want to fish a large, quiet and deep lake, you can't beat Toledo Bend. If you've never tried fishing a river with locks and dams, the Red River system is there waiting for you. How about a river with multiple bayous and creeks running into it, and with lakes connecting to it? You can't beat the Ouachita River. You say you've never fished an active oxbow lake? Louisiana has plenty inside the Mississippi River levee system. How would you like to fish an area where one cast produces a bass and the next a flounder? Louisiana's coastal marsh is waiting for you. Would you like to try you hand at dabbling in history by fishing one of the dozens of old logjam lakes? Louisiana has what you're looking for.Add to this plethora of high-quality lakes and streams a substantial complement of bayous, creeks, and farm ponds and smaller impoundments, and the conclusion, you'll surely agree, must be that Louisiana is indeed home to more promise-filled fishing water than you can shake a stick at.

Previously, researchers have actually currently published 3D body organs, however they have actually never ever attained the efficiency of Rice College.
They have actually had the ability to publish 3D for the very first time a full capillary system as well as are currently a lot closer to the success of printing completely working body organs.
For the very first time, scientists at Rice University have actually created a product as well as a printing technique that permits them to recreate the complicated network of great capillary that comprise the vascular system. They flawlessly imitate the flows of blood, air or liquids, necessary for fabricated body organs.
What aids the 3D print-mesh network
3D printing of capillary and also comparable manner ins which lug lymph liquid or various other liquids is an issue for researchers due to the fact that the cells requires to be solid however flexible and also hollow internal, yet extremely slim.
For years, among the primary difficulties in human cells duplication has actually been to locate a means for researchers to go into nutrients and also oxygen right into synthetic cells. The body utilizes the vascular network to do this.
If a body organ does not have the required vasculature to get in touch with the remainder of the body, it will certainly be difficult for it to obtain the nutrients and also oxygen it requires. He will certainly pass away.
Previously, no person might publish such a twisted system of capillary that go through the body organs, making them pointless.
The brand-new technique permitted them to hair transplant a 3D print, infused with liver cells right into computer mice. It is unclear whether the liver has actually ended up being practical, however liver cells have actually endured transplant, revealing that the capillary system is functioning.
"We currently have the capacity to develop much of the complicated frameworks located in the body," claimed Dr Jordan Miller, co-author of the research.
At the worldwide degree, there is a body organ deficiency. Daily, 20 individuals pass away due to the fact that there are no body organs to be hair transplanted.

I have added a video here: Safety Pin Man - Philip Cockerham.mp4 This is the title track of my last CD 'Chimera Spring' released last year but this is the first video I have produced from it. It seems relevant to the situation right now. It is dedicated to all the people who help in society from the medics to the builders and cleaners. Peace to y'all x
29th March 2020
It seems that it might be necessary to postpone some more appearances due to the current public health situation. Please check my events page before you come to see me. The truth is that I haven't been out singing or performing for a few weeks now, either for booked events and for any drop-ins.

20th January 2020
It's been a nice start to this year with a couple of gigs and some interesting things coming up. I took the trio (with Dave Bowie and Dickie Dixon) to BBC Radio Leeds on 5th Jan to visit the Durbervilles on their folk and roots show, where we played a few songs live in the studio and chatted with David and Lee. We were able to promote this year's first club appearance which took place later that week at the Topic folk club in their new home at the Merchant Bar in Bradford, where we were given a wonderful welcome by everyone.
I have also been rehearsing with my old friends Tom Bliss, Den Miller and Patrick Hogan in a new singer/songwriters' group called the Lost Larks. This new harmony group perform two gigs soon: (Saturday 14th March 2020 at 'Seven Arts, 31A Harrogate Road, Leeds LS73PD' and again on Wednesday 29th April 2020 at 'HEART (Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre)'. Both nights are likely to be well attended so you are advised to plan early!
30th December 2019
I'm excited to say that I will be starting the new year with a nice gig and a radio appearance with the trio. First up we will be 'appearing' this Sunday 5th January with the Durbervilles on their folk and roots music show at 8.00pm on BBC Radio Leeds, to chat and play a few songs live in the studio. (You will find this on 92.4 FM and 103.9 FM, on digital radio and online at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07xs57s .)
Then on Thursday 9th Jan, the three of us are guests at the Topic folk club in Bradford, in their latest home at the Merchant Bar. I do find that over the years wherever the Topic have chosen as the base for their club, the welcome and atmosphere is the same - I think that's down to the good folk of Bradford and their love of the craic. I'm looking forward to going there.
So, I hope you can either tune in or come and see us play live... or both!
Oh, and happy new year to y'all wherever you are! x
7th December 2019
It was a lively and convivial atmosphere at the Labour N/E Leeds festive fundraiser last night. We were made very welcome by Fabian Hamilton MP and by the other MPs, councillors and members who clearly speak in one voice with regard to enable ordinary working people, encouraging co-operation and justice for everyone and supporting the more vulnerable within society. I was impressed by what I heard. The audience was a mix of all colours and creeds, young and old, richer and poorer. And they fed us well! Thanks to Barbara and Steve for supplying and running the PA system.
5th December 2019
Further news of tomorrow's gig in Leeds for Labour NE - Tickets are below:
3rd Decmber 2019
I have been asked to perform in support of a fundraiser for the Labour party in Leeds on Friday. I am happy to do this and I will be accompanied by Dave and Dickie at the Sheepscar Club in Leeds, this Friday 6th December beginning after 7.00pm. There will be speakers and persuasion. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, but you should be able to get a cup of tea (and there is a full bar.) I don't care what you vote but come and listen anyway please...
28th November 2019
I should draw your attention to some new videos I have been involved in with, 'The Lost Larks'. This a collaboration of four singer/songwriters, Tom Bliss, Patrick Hogan, Den Miller and me.

Thanks to Tom and Den for their work in putting this together.
My own trio continues to perform, most recently appearing the other evening at Grimsby folk club. Thanks to everyone who came along (including Dave Bowie and Dickie Dixon!)
Watch this space for more of everything!
16th November 2019
We had a lovely night with the trio at the Bacca Pipes folk club in West Yorkshire yesterday. Dave Bowie and Dickie Dixon were great; they follow me like shadows, even when I go wrong (haha) and individually, they are impressive in their own right. Bacca Pipes is a small, but very well attended club with such a positive regard for music, albeit traditional folk or otherwise. I was delighted to find that so many people knew my songs and indeed the audience embraced my newer stuff so willingly. The sound of everyone in the room singing with me was stunning. I woke up today feeling very lucky to have this attention and support. Thanks y'all x
30th October 2019
Thank you to everyone who came to see the Lost Larks on their very first gig in Leeds last night. It was full house and a very exciting atmosphere. I was joined by Tom Bliss, Patrick Hogan and Den Miller, all three great songwriters and performers. (This is in addition to my own band, the Phil Cockerham trio, which continues to perform and gives me absolute confidence and pleasure. We also have our own gigs very soon. Have a look here: http://baccapipes.folkpitch.co.uk/bpexpres/index.htm and http://www.grimsbyfolkclub.co.uk/ )
But do look out now for this new band lostlarks.com . It seems the future is bright for the Lost Larks.
21st October 2019
I'm looking forward to next Tuesday 29th October. This is a slightly different event from the usual gigs posted on this page. Phil appears as part of a quartet of songwriters, all friends who have played together before. It also includes, Tom Bliss, Patrick Hogan and Den Miller and the group appear collectively as 'The Lost Larks'. This is the first appearance of the Lost Larks and it should be a wonderful evening. Heart, in Leeds, is a small venue and so people are advised to arrive early to gain admission. https://www.heartcentre.org.uk/event/tuesday-night-live-2018-12-18-2019-01-01-2019-10-29/
17th October 2019
The trio had a great evening last night at Otley Folk Club. It was a lively evening and the room was full, everyone joining in with the fun, singing and booing (!) at the right times. Thanks to Steve, Malcolm and Anne for booking us, Stuart and Steve for being great supporting acts and of course a big thanks to all those who came and encouraged such a brilliant evening!
8th September 2019
It was a return visit to the Pavilion in Lytham St Anne's for the trio last night, playing to some familiar faces and a crowd of new ones. Thanks to Steve for inviting us to play and also for his excellent opening slot where he performed some of his great original songs. The audience were wonderful all night and we came away feeling appreciated. Thanks to everybody who came.
5th September 2019
We had a lovely welcome at the Moorcock in Blacko last night when we played as guests for their monthly concert night. The audience were so encouraging and we always enjoy it there. Thanks to Andy and Elaine for inviting us once more. Support acts were all great, but I have to make a special mention of One-a-Chord, a three piece band comprising harp, pipes and accordian, although other instruments do feature in the band. Look out for them.

It's a while since I wrote anything on here, but things have been anything but quite. I've been working on quite a few musical projects, all great! You'll see I have posted a new date at the Bacca Pipes folk club in Keighley, West Yorkshire. I was re-introduced to them by my friend, Den Miller, who is a regular there and I'll be appearing there as guest with the trio in the autumn.
I've also been working on some new and old material with Den, along with Patrick Hogan and Tom Bliss, both of whom I've worked with before. This new quartet of songwriters we have called, The Lost Larks. It's great and we are currently dropping into our favourite places to do a few numbers and introduce ourselves. Here we are: lostlarks.com

I am pleased to say that the new CD, 'Chimera Spring' is being well received by everyone who has heard it. You can buy a copy direct from Jumbo records in Leeds, or you can contact me and we can sort something out for you to have one. http://philipcockerham.com/Chimera%20Spring-%20samples.htm
Dickie and I continue to travel around performing songs from this CD (and from the previous ones... we often get requests) and sometimes we have Dave with us. We don't have listed gigs until the end of summer, but we do tend to pop up unannounced at folk clubs and events and we always seem to have a warm welcome.
13th March 2019
We had a great time last Sunday night at the BBC with hosts, The Durbervilles (David, Lee and Mark) on their folk and roots show on radio Leeds. I believe you can still listen for a while: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p070v7pk We were made very welcome and the trio (all three of us) gave a live rendition of three of the songs from the new CD, 'Chimera Spring'. It's always great to be on live radio. Scary but very exciting. Thanks guys!
The further good news is that Jumbo Records in Leeds are now stocking copies of the CD for sale in their Leeds store. I'm sure there will be a link coming up soon! Watch this space... In the meantime, please do contact me if you would like a copy:
1st March 2019
We had a great night at Crookes Folk Club last night, when we visited to perform songs from my new CD, 'Chimera Spring', available from today! Thank you to all who came to see us and join in and to those who took away a copy last night!
I'm very pleased with the final seven songs which made it onto the CD. There are five new songs of mine plus a very beautiful one, 'Your Love Is All I Need', written by Kathy Cookson (as Cookson/Foggin/Pointer, aka The Backyard Buskers.) The other song in this collection is my 'borrowing' of an old Stan Jones song to tell the story, 'Doodlebug Summer.'
I'm delighted to have worked once again with the legendary Dave Bowie on double bass and also with my old friend Dickie Dixon on harmonium, percussion, voices and noises... As well as playing his array of instruments, Dickie has had quite a hand (or an ear) with me on the final mixing on the songs on album. Thanks mate. On the CD we also have the wonderful Katy Ryder on flute, alto sax and vocals on several of the songs. I'm very grateful to her for making the time in her busy musical life for the sessions she managed to fit in here at the Green Room studio. I'm looking forward to working with Katy again soon.
Don't forget you can tune in on Sunday 3rd March to hear us live on, 'The Durbervilles Folk and Roots Show' on BBC Radio Leeds 92.4 FM and 103.9 FM (also 95.3 FM and 102.7 FM) or 774 Hz and also online at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p070v7pk between 8-9 pm when we will be chatting and playing live in the studio.
23rd February 2019
I can tell you that I will be guest on the Durbervilles Folk and Roots show on BBC Radio Leeds next week on Sunday 3rd March at 8.00pm. I'll have Dave Bowie with me on double bass and Dickie Dixon on harmonium and percussion. It'll be great! You can find it at 8.pm next Sunday on 92.4 FM and 103.9 FM (also 95.3 FM and 102.7 FM) or 774 Hz , or online at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p070v7pk
23rd February 2019
I'm delighted to announce that my new CD will be delivered tomorrow! After much hard work and deliberation, I have condensed my own personal take on recent (and a little more historic) events into an exciting new collection entitled, 'Chimera Spring'. It includes great performances from Dave Bowie and Dickie Dixon and also from a newcomer to the Green Room studio, the wonderful Katy Ryder who contributes her brilliant skills on alto sax and vocals and brings a lot of good humour to the mix. There's also a beautiful song, 'Your Love Is All I Need' written and attributed to 'Cookson/Foggin/Pointer'' (my old friends, 'The Backyard Buskers') and an ominous adaptation of a classic which you will recognise but hides under the title of 'Doodlebug Summer'. Otherwise, the other songs will hopefully make you want to dance, laugh or cry.
To buy a copy, please contact me on: email@example.com or come and find one of us at a gig.
23rd January 2019
I've booked a few new dates for this year, mostly with the trio. I've been quite busy with a few things but not with rehearsing with these guys (lol - don't worry it'll be great again by February! Those guys are the dog's knees.) Our first gig as a trio is at the brilliant Crookes folk club. I've been there many times over the years and it all feels so familiar and welcoming. Can't wait!
8th December 2018
It was nice to be back at the Castle in Bradford last night along with Dave and Dickie, to play to some old friends and some newcomers at the Friday night guest spot. Thanks to Stuart, Nigel and Paul for their contributions, to John the MC and of course to the generous audience, who sang along with everything they could! Keep music live!
20th November 2018
It's been a while since I've written anything on here. But I have not been idle. It's been great! I've had my finger in a few pies (none of them meat) and I've been busy singing, playing and making new music with others, but not much performing at the front. I've enjoyed it. And sometimes I got paid!
However, I will be at the front of the room in a couple of weeks on Friday December 7th, at the Castle in Bradford, where I will be appearing with my buddies, Dickie and Dave (those guys are the dogs knees...) and we will be knocking out some tunes, telling some tales and generally stirring up dust. Paul, the boss there always graces us with a cultural nugget at some point when he pops out to play Dickie's harmonium and whip up a frenzy in Hindi. The guy is a star! It's free to hear the music but a whip round is held and usually everyone is really generous! Keeps it real...
There is also the chance for passing musos to get up do a number or two... Everybody is respected and made welcome and the standard is always pretty good. Come along and see us, do.
I've a few gigs to announce so far for next year, so that'll be soon too.
Peace y'all x
10th July 2018
After a short run of summer gigs together, the three of us are taking time out individually to work on other projects. We played at Mansfield folk club last night, in the heat of summer and received a fantastic welcome from the good folk there. It's always great to play at Mansfield folk, with the enthusiastic response we always get there. Thanks to Tina for booking us and to the whole committee, who put on such a great event every week. We'll be back!
6th July 2018
I had a nice surprise at Gregson Lane folk club last night, when I took the band there to play for them. There's a fantastic new PA! (which we used only very slightly, because the audience were such good listeners we didn't have to be loud...) They laughed at most of my jokes, sung new words and even made helpful suggestions (no, they really were helpful...) Thanks, y'all x Hope to see you again before long
We're at Masnfield folk club on Monday. It's always fun there! http://mansfield-folk-club.org.uk/programme.html
26th June 2018
It was a pleasure to take the band to play up at the Bridge Folk Club in Newcastle last night. I think we had the hottest day so far and with the windows open at the Bridge we got the full experience of Tyneside life on a beautiful evening. The pale ale felt like nectar and the audience were excited to see us. Many thanks to Mike for inviting us to play there. It's a beautiful old place, nicely prepared for live folk music in the concert room upstairs. We had a great time and I'm looking forward to going back there. Might be a few video clips appearing soon.
Next week we're at Gregson Lane, out west of here. Here's the ticket website: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/410703
(or just turn up on the night. I do remember it does get quite busy though...)
21st June 2018
I took the trio to the 'new' home of Otley folk club upstairs in the Black Horse last night, where we performed as guests for the evening. The lads were on great form and we were able to able to perform some brand new songs, which went down well in the room. Thanks to Steve Fairholme for MC-ing (and for booking us!) And of course, thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed the evening.
We3're looking forward to playing at the Bridge folk club in Newcastle on Monday.
11th June 2018
I've been in the studio a lot these past few weeks, with an occasional outing to remember what people looked like. Last night I was at Grimsby folk club with Dickie, to play a short set for their 'spotlight' night. Clearly, its a loved place and they do so much to create a great atmosphere for performance. We were well received and made a lot of new friends; thanks everyone for the lovely, warm welcome. I'm looking forward to taking the trio there some time!
We also have a few nice club dates booked over the next few weeks, so I'll be learning again how to speak properly to people. Have a look where we are. > click here <
12th February 2018
I'll be turning up at the Otley Show next Saturday at some point to sing a few songs with Dickie. Now what does a veggie sing at an agricultural show I wonder..? Maybe, "Old McDonald had some quorn..."
4th February 2018
We were pleased to appear for the first time at St Anne's Folk Club in Lytham St Anne's last night. It was a packed house and we were well received by a friendly and energetic audience who were happy to join in the fun and hilarity, but who were also moved by the more thoughtful pieces. It seems some issues are shared by many and afterwards there was much talk of the changing world. Clearly, it was right to let the songs speak for themselves. Thanks to Steve and Ian for their wonderful support songs, to open the evening.
27th January 2018
It's a new year and I was delighted to be able to help in the WSO campaign for this year by performing at the New Beehive in Bradford. I'm told the proceeds of this night go to the foodbanks in Bradford and give food to those in need. Well done and thanks to all involved.
20th December 2017
Thanks to everyone who came to see us at Morley Folk Club last night and may I wish everyone everywhere a happy Christmas and a successful New Year. Peace y'all x
7th December 2017
The yuletide season has truly begun and we were treated to brilliant floor spots from some of the regulars and other visitors to the Moorcock Acoustic Night last night, when we visited as the booked guests. Thanks to Andy and Elaine for inviting us and to everyone for their support. Have a super Christmas.
18th November 2017
It's been a while but I had the pleasure of playing out with Dave Bowie and Dickie Dixon last night. We've all been undertaking our own projects for the last few months and it was great to meet this week and revisit the old favourites and to play a few new things, before appearing as guests at the Castle in Bradford. We always get a warm welcome from the good folk there and the 'International Cabaret' was as delightful as ever. Lovely songs all round. Thanks to Paul and the team for hosting the night and a special thanks to Muppet and Sue for asking us back. See you next time.
I've posted a few new gigs for next year and there are some as yet unconfirmed but promising.
Peace y'all x
30th July 2017
I returned today from a lovely weekend away at the Littleborough Music Festival, set by the river Trent in the Nottinghamshire countryside. I played a solo set, the last of the Friday evening to a lovely crowd who I'd never met before. Receiving a nice welcome from them, I gave my best of a selection of songs from the last three CDs and they rewarded me with a great response. Thanks to Roz and Andy for hosting the events, including a stunning Saturday afternoon and evening in the barn with some very entertaining acts.
29th June 2017
We had a first visit to The Willows folk club in Kirkham last night, and what a lovely club it is! All three of us agreed that the detail and care of everything was fine, and all the active club members worked together seamlessly to do their own job well and together enable a successful evening, for audience and visitors. Stage sound was good and outward PA sound was great through their quality system. We enjoyed the night and had enthusiastic reception from everyone. Thanks to regulars, Dave and Liz, who opened up the night and warmed the audience for us with some great original songs and a nice interpretation of some others. Thanks also to Chris on the sound who did a brilliant job for everyone. Can't wait to go there again!
20th June 2017
Dickie and I travelled to Mansfield this week to perform for our old friends at the Mansfield Black Bull folk club, acting as support act for the legendary Bob Fox, most recently known for his role as the 'Songman' in the show 'Warhorse'. It was a full house and we were enthusiastically received by an excited crowd. It was great to see everyone again and we enjoyed the evening. We hope to be back there before too long.
Next Wednesday I will be taking the trio to the Willows folk club in Kirkham, Preston, for our guest night there. I'm looking forward to that.
16th May 2017
Hi everyone. Apologies for the 'radio silence' and for my slowness in updating this website. I've been unable to access it all for a little while as my technology failed me a few weeks ago! However, I'm up and running now.
We had a nice gig at Otley Folk Club last Wednesday evening. Thanks for all those lovely folk who came to see us there. I do like the concert behind Korks, it's a great space and so well equipped. Thanks again to Steve and Chris. The following evening we played at a Labour party fundraiser in Hillsborough. Again, it was a lovely bunch of people who crammed the place and gave themselves to the show. We laughed, we sang and we raised the roof (and a stack of money!) for the cause. Thanks especially to Bay Whitaker for such a good job in organising the night and to Malcolm and Helen who performed before us. Hope to see you all again before too long.
31st March 2017
Thanks to everyone who turned out to see us at the Topic Folk Club last night. It was great to be out again with Dave and Dickie and we played a few songs we hadn't performed before, as well as the ones we always get asked for. The atmosphere was lovely, supportive and encouraging and the new songs were well received. We'll be back there before long, I hope.
8th March 2017
After a short break, I'm back in the saddle and looking forward to gigging again. The first gig is at the wonderful Topic Folk Club in Bradford on the 30th March (possibly the oldest folk club in the world..?). I always feel welcome there and I have a strong affection for the place. That night I will be accompanied by Dave Bowie on double bass and Dickie Dixon on harmonium and percussion. I can't wait. http://www.topicfc.nawaller.com/
I've also just been booked for a very nice gig, performing as support for the legendary Bob Fox, at Mansfield Folk Club on 19th June. Bob Fox has a long history in folk music, most recently known as the 'Songman' in the touring production of 'Warhorse'. Dickie Dixon will be performing with me that night on harmonium and percussion. Mansfield is another great club and we always feel welcome there. http://mansfield-folk-club.org.uk/
12th November 2016
I enjoyed our guest visit to the Castle in Bradford last night. The audience were keen and enthusiastic and very responsive. Many people (those who had not seen us before) commented how delighted they were with the line-up and the material, its diversity and the blend of sounds. I do realise how effective the blend of bouzouki, double bass and harmonium is, providing a full sonic range and allowing us to explore sounds from the minute to the emphatic. I was also struck by how many people wanted to hear the 'comment' songs, particularly in these changing times. Keep in touch everyone. It's encouraging to get this great feedback from people in the audience.
We've a bit of a break now but we are always open to new enquiries.
31st October 2016
Thanks to Dean for the warm welcome to what is a very exciting and inspired public house venue, hosting regular musical events in a comfortable environment in the centre of Pontefract. I'm sure we will be there again soon.
25th October 2016
Dickie and I had the pleasure of playing for the Brighouse Arts Festival 'Unplugged' evening last night (using some very smart looking microphones!) Of course the instruments etc were unplugged and so I wasn't kidding..! We enjoyed the evening and met some new friends and one or two old ones. I'd do that night again. Thanks everyone for your support. Peace y'all x
16th October 2016
I'm doing a half hour performance next week at the Brighouse Arts Festival for their 'unplugged' evening on the Monday. I'll be accompanied by harmonist/percussionist Dickie Dixon, who always makes things sound better! The evening starts at 7.30 with several other performers and we'll be on at about 9.30pm. Admission is free. Find us at Millers Bar, 47 Briggate, Brighouse HD6 1EB.
8th October 2016
After we've all been behaving separately for a few weeks, I'll be getting the trio together to perform for the 'We Shall Overcome' festival gig tonight in Bradford. It's a great day's line-up and we will be going on for 45 minutes at 7.00pm. It's a very worthwhile event, which is why all performers and organisers are working for free. Admission is by donation of food or cash to assist Bradford food banks, so please be generous. > click for link <
17th July 2016
Dickie and I had a great time at Hull Folk and Maritime Festival yesterday afternoon. The sun shone on us and we played to a happy crowd for about 45 minutes before settling back to watch Beggar's Bridge do their set. What a great band they are! They also use an Indian harmonium and the sound is rich and strong. I look forward to seeing them again. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome to Hull.
10th July 2016
We enjoyed playing at the Bradford Festival today on the Topic Folk Club stage. It's their 60th year as a folk club and we were delighted to be asked to be part of it all. Thanks to all who ignored the small rain to watch me with Dave Bowie on stick double bass and Dickie Dixon on percussion/harmonium. https://www.facebook.com/philipcockerham
7th July 2016
It was a very enjoyable night at the Moorcock Acoustic night yesterday. Dave, Dickie and I sped over the Pennines to Blacko to play for a wonderfully, appreciative crowd who gave their all with us and stayed late to hear everything we performed. It was a real pleasure to be there and we were so pleased to be asked back and offered a date for next year. (I'll mention the date nearer the time.) Thanks to Andy and Elaine (and indeed all the team) for their welcome and hospitality. And thanks to all the floor singers and performers who warmed up the audience for us so well. It really is a great place to visit and play!
On Sunday we perform for the Bradford Festival. I'm looking forward to that. http://www.bradfordfestival.org.uk/whatson/topic-folk-club
6th July 2016
Thanks to the good folk who came to see us perform at Morley Folk Club last night. It was a balmy night (not just a barmy night) and we got to play some of the newer songs, perhaps at the expense of a couple of older ones, but that's the kind of hard choice/tough decision I had to make as leader of the party (sorry the band..). They went down well though. Thanks to Keith and the team for their welcome and smooth organisation. Good luck to you all.
Tonight we make a first visit to the Moorcock Acoustic Night in Blacko, Lancs. I have a good feeling about that. I'm looking forward to playing there.
3rd July 2016
Been cheering myself up singing. I had the rare treat of taking the trio to do a couple of songs at the Grove's 'Open Mind' night last Wednesday night in Leeds. I was dedicating 'Ain't Gonna Play The Game No More' to Karl Dallas and we toasted him, actually no, the audience applauded and clapped him when I mentioned his peace protesting. That was far more appropriate. It shows there's an appetite for peace and co-operation. He was mentioned in the Morning Star too with a nice obituary this week.
I've got a gig in Leeds on Tuesday 5th this week, at Morley Folk Club. it's always fun to play there. It's currently held at the United Services Club. There's loads of parking and they welcome newcomers. http://www.morleyfolk.org/
Thanks to BBC Radio Leeds ' The Durbervilles Folk and Roots' for playing a new track of mine tonight. Hearing yourself on the radio is always helpful. Makes you consider the sound mix. A bit less double bass methinks... (heh-heh sorry Dave.)
28th June 2016
I don't normally post links but this is an exception. I'm very sad at the death of the legendary, Karl Dallas; musician, performer, writer, promoter, journalist and peace activist. Everything he did with great heart and generosity. It was a privilege to know him. He once booked me to play for him at a benefit gig he hosted, although he did many more things that that. He was always very pleasant with me, even when he was struggling with ill-health in later times. This is what the Guardian said about him: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jun/27/karl-dallas-obituary
25th June 2016
There was a subdued feeling among the audience last night at the New Headingley Club in Leeds as the trio played for their 'New Roots' night. We did our best to cheer everyone up but actually it seemed we all enjoyed the protest songs more than anything else. Certainly, the wildest moments were when there was a clear and rebellious chorus afoot. Thank you to all those who came to see us. We'll be back there before too long.
24th June 2016
We had a great night at Crookes Folk Club in Sheffield last night. A lovely audience welcomed us and gave us such a tremendous response. To be fair we went on after some brilliant floor spots before us, with a great choice of material chosen by those who performed. Thanks to all who came and supported us. I'm a very lucky man.
Tonight it's 'New Roots' at New Headingley Club in Leeds. I'm looking forward to that. Doors open at 8.pm
9th June 2016
Thanks to everyone who came to Keighley last night, to see the trio perform at the Exchange Arts Centre. What a lovely night and a great place! All credit to Jackson Lake for his vision with this set of gigs. Tanks to Gary Middleton for the support set and to Adam for a brilliant job with the sound. We went home very impressed.
It's back in the studio tomorrow to begin to complete the tracks for the new album. There's just a few bits to record and then it's putting it all together. After gigging some of the songs, it's becoming clear what'll be on it.
And I'll be stepping out to play somewhere I guess, before we go out again with the trio for the next set of gigs in a week or two.
7th June 2016
We enjoyed our trip out to Barnsley Trades Club last night where we played as feature guests for the Barnsley Folk and Acoustic Night. It's an audience who always listen and although the concert is held in a thriving social club with its games tables next door, all passers by the room wait and listen politely. Some even stay! We had a lovely reception from the audience and Dave and Dickie were on great form. It was also nice to see familiar faces and old friends.
On Wednesday we go to Keighley to play at the Exchange Art Centre. I've not been there before, so I'm looking forward to it. There are some great acts over the summer for their midweek gigs so it's great to part of all that.
2nd June 2016
I'm honoured and delighted to have been asked to play at the Bradford Festival on their main stage next month. On the afternoon of Sunday 10th July, I'll be performing with Dave Bowie and Dickie Dixon as part of the Topic Folk Club concert. There's a temporary stage being built right in the the city centre, in City Park, opposite the Alhambra Theatre. Also on the bill for the Topic are Gerry Cooper and Phil Snell with their 'blues rags and hokum' and award-winning singer/songwriter Paula Ryan. We're on promptly at 2,00pm followed by Gerry and Phil and then Paula. I can't wait!
I've always had great admiration and affection for Bradford; its environment, its people and its ideas. I've always felt at home there and loved its support for music and the arts, and for peace and justice, ever since I used to visit there with my teenage rock band, Jobe St Day when we felt a proper Bradford reception every time. These days I play a bit more quietly (but not always!) and still receive a warm welcome every time I visit the Topic. I'm lookinmg forward to taking the music and fun outside. http://www.bradfordfestival.org.uk/whatson/topic-folk-club
11th May 2016
I don't normally write poetry, but last week I was in turmoil. My mind was stretched and my body on the edge. I received the news that the cat (a scrap of a thing we took in last year as a stray, now just over a year old) had caught something and delivered it as usual to the doormat at the entrance to my studio. It isn't the first time she's done this but this time it was different. For what it's worth, here's the poem which shaped in my head and I managed to scrape down in print before it was lost and I began to recover properly. > for the poem 'Biladi' - click here<
8th May 2016
Hi everyone. I'm back home after a traumatic and frightening episode! I am so sorry to everyone who I didn't get to play for as we had to cancel our night at Otley Folk Club last Wednesday. We tried to get the word out but didn't quite reach everyone, I hear some people turned up to find I wasn't there. Hope you try again! Thanks to my friends and heroes, The 'Twangles' for stepping in at short notice to play the gig. I believe this is the first gig which I have ever had to cancel personally, so it didn't feel good.
Basically, I suffered a 'sepsis' (total body poisoning) which is believed to have been stemmed from a small but invasive procedure I had a few weeks ago. It was unpredicted and unfortunate, but very serious. I was admitted from A&E after my beloved took the right decision to take me to hospital in the middle of the night on Sun/Mon, when I was becoming confused and unintelligible (no comments on that please!) Apparently, if she hadn't taken me in I might not be here today! I've had a shed load of intravenous antibiotics of different types and I am now on the mend. I'm home after seven days in hospital and in another week or so, after the antibiotic tablets they've sent me home with, I hope to be running for buses again! And of course, I have some great gigs coming up starting again in June. I'll be feeling very strong and healthy by then.
I'd like to thank everyone for their kind messages of support (sorry I can't do this individually, there were so many!) and a BIG thank you to the very professional and most caring staff of the NHS, some of whom went well beyond the call of their contracts to make me safe, secure and well again and whose dedication to the task truly makes them 'angels' (that includes the boys who work there as well, of course!)
For now, I'm just going to sit in the shade, sip iced Ribena and stroke the cat. Love and peace to y'all x
16th April 2016
I've been adding a few dates to this summer's list, the latest being Hull Folk and Maritime Festival on 16th July. I'll have Dickie Dixon with me too so it should be a lot of fun. The new album is coming along nicely and I hope to it available soon. See you sometime over the summer!
13th March 2016
It was nice to return to Kirkgate Irregular Roots in Shipley last night, this time with Dave Bowie and Dickie Dixon. Thanks to Paul for a great job with the sound and indeed all the team for their hard work in creating a lovely small concert venue in the centre of Shipley. Thanks also to Peter and Pam as 'Keystone' for their quality support set. It was great to see them again. I'm just about to go on to their website to have a look at them in their recent acting roles in 'Coronation Street'. They do get around! Thanks everyone for coming to the gig last night.
7th March 2016
Here is where you can get advance tickets for our gig on Saturday... http://www.yorkshireticketshop.co/phillip-cockerham-trio.html
5th March 2016
Just heard Liz Franklin playing my song 'Bonfire' on her radio show 'Folkal Point' (102.1 and 105.5 fm in the Teesdale area and online.) That song seems to strike a reaction in everyone, and frequently a laugh or a 'ha!' Thanks Liz. It's my gift to the 'We Shall Overcome' movement and is available as a download single at: >>> click <<< I think I'm track number 22 on the album..?)
1st March 2016
Did it really happen? Well, yes there were lots of people turned up at Bacup folk club last night on 'leap' night and everyone wanted to sing! The list of floor spotters was HUGE and sadly I didn't get to see everyone! (sorry...) We did our set of over an hour to a very lively crowd and got a big response. Thank you all!
I'm looking forward to playing at
Kirkgate Irregular Roots next week. It's a great little concert
venue in Shipley, West Yorkshire, a bit closer to home. Last time I
played there I was providing the support on my own and the audience
were very welcoming and kind to me. This time I'll have Dave Bowie
with me on the double bass and Dickie Dixon on percussion and
harmonium so I guess there'll be heckling! The support is from Pete
and Pam, aka: Keystone Acoustic. It should be a great night!
Kirkgate Irregular Roots is held at The
Kirkgate Centre, 39a Kirkgate,
24th February 2016
It's a 'leap year' this year, 2016 and we've decided to spend the 'extra day' at Bacup Folk Club. It's always great to go and play there.

It was a very enjoyable evening yesterday at Skipton Folk Club as the trio played their first gig of the year together. Thanks to all those who turned up and supported us so enthusiastically. Hope to see youall again soon.
8th February 2016
It's been a few weeks since the trio were out gigging together. We've all had our own events and appearances over the last month, but we meet up for our first gig of the year on Monday 22nd Feb at Skipton Folk Club. It's always nice to play there. The regulars are so welcoming and happy to sing and join in with the songs. Hope to see you there. http://philipcockerham.com/News%20and%20events.htm#next%20dates

Checking my emails today, I found that someone has just posted this video of the trio playing at the Saltaire festival during the summer. Unfortunately, Dave Bowie Jr is not visible but I promise you he was there playing double bass. Dickie Dixon is also there on harmonium, percussion and vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4LsPq7zTms
Love and peace to you all today and forever.

It was great fun playing at FRACA last night in Leeds, at the Polish Centre for their December guest night. Dave, Dickie and I played to a full house for our early set and got a lovely reaction from a very welcoming audience. Thanks to all comers who did floor spots and a special thanks to the Polish Club hosts who us lubricated with drinks. Today I feel half Polish. (;-) Thnaks also to MC Pid kept the whole evening lively and funny (great job Pid) and to Emma who organised the event skillfully. We'll be back!
12th December 2015
Thanks to everyone at 'Bollyfolk' for a great welcome last night. The upstairs room at the Dog and Partridge was full for Bollington Folk Club's monthly guest night and we got to play to a lovely receptive audience of some familiar and some brand new faces. We played a few newer songs and a couple of pieces especially for the season, as well as the old favourites that people know. It was lovely to be back there. Thanks to Pete W.
Tomorrow we go to the Polish Club in Leeds for an evening with FRACA (folk root acoustic Chapel Allerton). I'm looking forward to that too. We had a great time last time. See y'all there. :-)
19th November 2015
I've added a few more gigs to the list. It's changing all the time but these ones are confirmed. Might see you there :-)
15th November 2015
Had the pleasure of playing to a receptive crowd last night at Kirkgate Irregular Roots club in Shipley, supporting the vibrant and exciting acoustic guitar-led soul band Barcode Zebra, a new surprise for me. I'll look out for them again. Thanks to everyone concerned for a great night.
I've decided to remove the download link for my song 'Closing The Borders' from my 'Listen' page. I guess it will be included on the next album when that comes out, but for now I think the moment is wrong to play it. I'd rather think now about writing a song for all those people who make the mistake of pursuing hate under the cloak of 'faith'. You're wrong on this one brothers. Time will judge you harshly, I'm certain.
9th November 2015
I enjoyed being an audience member for a change last night at FRACA (Folk Root Acoustic Chapel Allerton) in Leeds. There were some good acts, including Dave and Ros Lewis and their friend Tim, but the highlight for me was Naomi Cousins who delighted everyone with her understated style, great songs and expressive singing. I'm sure I'll hear a lot more of her in the future.
The 'new' venue for FRACA is the Leeds Polish Club LS7 4JE, occurring monthly on a Sunday. Next session is 13th December when I'll be turning up to do a short solo set as part of their Christmas meet. See you there!
24th October 2015
It was fun playing last night at Crookes Folk Club in Sheffield last night. It was a 'Friday Night Special' concert organised as an extra to their regular Thursday night club and there was a lovely buzz about the room. Dave Bowie Jr and Dickie Dixon were there with me on double bass and percussion. We got to perform some new songs amongst the old favourites and it was all very well received. Support was from Stephen Bolton, a young and very skilful guitarist who kept us all enthralled with his 'classical' style, although the material was much wider than that, including some modern and adventurous material. Wonderful stuff! Thanks to everyone who turned out on an unusual night and contributed to making the night a very special one for us all. Thanks to Steve Cooper for the gig. Peace to y'all x
22nd October 2015
I'm posting a previously unreleased song of mine, 'Closing the Borders' as a free download accessible here:
> 'Closing The Borders' (written February 2015) <
(Thanks should go to the Durbervilles for playing it on their BBC
Radio folk and roots show this last week.) The song is one I wrote
and recorded in February this year when I was recovering from
illness. I was feeling very loved and cared for and it struck me
that this was something I should be very grateful for and I truly am.
Sadly though, not everyone is in the same fortunate position as I

3 Things
So it's been over a week since I have posted, and I just wanted to apologize/make up a bunch of excuses. This past week I moved, started school and started student teaching. I fell off the internet bandwagon, but hopefully I will be making my way back on. The dust is still settling.
Here are 3 things I want to share with you:
1. Two words: Black Out. No, this wasn't something we did at a football game where we thought we could intimate the opposing team by wearing black t-shirts but a small minority ruined it for the rest of us. This was real like the rational numbers. All of San Diego (plus parts of Mexico, Orange County and Arizona) was without electricity from about 3:45pm to midnight. It was chaos. Pros: we got to eat all the food in our refrigerator and class got cancelled. Cons: I ate all the food in my refrigerator.
2. Look what I got!
3. This is the cover to the diary entries I wrote:
(The bears are not stickers)
What are your best tips for keeping up with the blogging world?

Marshalls prove too strong for Woodford Warriors
PUBLISHED: 13:00 31 March 2017
Mixed fortunes for junior teams
Marshalls under-14s were too strong for Woodford Warriors under-13s in their latest junior league outing at the weekend.
Player of the match Bethany Hawkins and Abby Vile were able to slot home their shots in the first quarter as Marshalls opened up a healthy lead.
But the coach swapped things about, as Emma Baldino moved alongside Hawkins, while coaches player Eloise Long and Rebecca Wallis used their height to great advantage in defence.
Alexia Hodgson, Lucy Grundy, Katie Adams and Zoe Hillier worked hard in mid-court to intercept a host of Woodford passes as Marshalls ran out 45-2 winners.
The under-13s were up against it in their match with Essex Open under-14s and Molly Hickman and Molly Hall were allowed few chances to score.
Player of the match Mia Lickfold and Ella Wilkins linked up well in the defensive circle, as Chloe Tame, Emma Greyson and Bella Lacey fought hard in mid-court, but Essex Open claimed a 52-6 win.
Marshalls under-12s had a real game of two halves against Essex Open Maroon, as Abi Clarkson and Shannon Ince joined forces to hold their rivals to a single goal in the first quarter.
Aoife Moloney and Daisie Stuart-Evans combined well to net goals at the other end and build a 4-1 lead, with Marshalls still holding a three-goal lead at the midway mark, after Pyper Whittlestone paired up well with Ince in the defensive circle.
Essex turned the match around in the third period, though, as strong winds made it difficult for Caitlyn McGlinchy, Victoria Richards, Millie Walker and Ruby Sayer in mid-court.
And their shooters kept the pressure on to seal a 15-9, despite the efforts of coaches player Clarkson, as the team shared the player of the match prize.
The under-11s took the lead against Phoenix, with some great linking between Annabelle Smith, Annabelle Poulter, player of the match Gracie May Hickman and Ella Kilby.
Sam Willoughby, Bobbi Lehane, Caoimhe Moloney and Lexi Trotman worked tirelessly in mid-court to leave Marshalls 5-4 down at half time.
Lily Chamberlain and Eva Buenaventura tried to keep the pressure on in the second half, but Marshalls lost 14-6.

Every morning Jadhav sets up his stall in some corner of the city, only to be pushed aside, sometimes by passing cars and sometimes by the police.
Ye litti hai, yeh chokha hai – do litti aur chokha pachaas rupay," Jadhav, not Yadav, keeps repeating this almost like a broken tape recorder. Originally from Bihar, Jadhav moved to Mumbai almost a decade back with his wife and daughter, and has since been selling litti-chokha, the traditional dish from his homeland, to make ends meet.
The survival stories of small street vendors like him are the subject of an immersive theatre performance at the ongoing Serendipity Arts Festival here. "Stand on the Street" brings alive the fascinating experiences from the streets, with narratives that are surprising and shocking – while some raise difficult questions, others are simply reflective.
Every morning Jadhav sets up his stall in some corner of the city, only to be pushed aside, sometimes by passing cars and sometimes by the police. Earning a paltry sum of not more than Rs 4,500 a month, he barely manages to pay for his wife's treatment and daughter's school fees.
Yet, when politicians and ruffians come to his stall and gorge on his litti-chokha, without paying a penny, he doesn't utter a word. But, when they ridicule his Bihari origins, he boils with rage, especially when they pass snide remarks on his daughter.
Curated by Aruna Ganesh Ram, the 30-minute-long production frames the street as a performance space, sharing food conversations, and revealing buried aspirations of these vendors.
"Millions of people make a livelihood out of vending food on the street. Million others eat food from these vendors. It forms an important ecosystem that seemed very interesting to us," says production manager Priya Rao.
The act sees four performers donning masks of these vendors hailing from Kolkata, Chennai, Bihar, Karnataka, Darjeeling, Kerala and Benaras, to recreate the stories of their lives.
The street ambience has been replicated within a dark, closed room, with the space crafted in a promenade style, taking viewers from one stall to another, offering a new story at every junction.
The generously playful use of light, sound, rhythm, and some real delicious food blurs the distinctions between the artiste and the audience to an extent when it ceases to be a mere performance. Rani, who sells tangy slices of "manga" or raw mangoes, sprinkled with black salt and red chilli powder in front of a college in Chennai, likes to talk about her "love marriage".
She speaks largely in Tamil peppered with phrases in English. When the police asks her to move her basket of mangoes and sit somewhere else, or threatens to beat her, she is terrified...Almost in tears.
As part of their research, Priya told PTI, they travelled to different cities, where they spoke to vendors. "Sometimes, if someone recommended a particular food, we would go find the vendor." A lot of reading, during which they chanced upon came anecdotes about the origin of some street foods, also contributed towards the script.
For instance, the maddur vada that is popularly sold on trains in Karnataka, was first made when a vendor, in a hurry to catch the incoming train, simply mixed up everything he had and made the vada. "Eventually it became extremely popular," Priya said.

The GFS just received a major upgrade.[url] https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-upgrades-us-global-weather-forecast-model [\url]
In the meantime, it will feel more like a mid-October day today. Temperatures will struggle to get to 70 with gusty winds to 30 mph. That will almost put a chill in the air for cold-natured people, but I'm lovin' it.
I'm having odd cravings for firepits, college football, and pumpkin spice. After a nice, long spring this preview of fall is quite a treat.
My wife is the best, ya'll. Can't even. Man...she's good!https://youtu.be/Nbvys-XwNrg
Had to turn the heat on in the truck on the way into town this morning. Don't think the AC in the house has been on since Sunday night. Five full days with no AC in June:
I must be way to hot natured lol....it has been hot in the house to me...A/C on every day lol. But then again I cannot open windows much due to allergies so that makes it hotter in the house

Endometrial cancer starts in the uterus. Its treatment varies depending on the patient's health, the type of endometrial cancer, and the stage of the condition. Among the options patients have, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) stands out as both a treatment choice and a preventive measure.
Endometrial Cancer: Symptoms, Risks, and Cause
Endometrial cancer is one of the most hormone-sensitive health conditions that can afflict women. It begins in the endometrium, the layer of cells that make up the lining of the uterus. Since it frequently induces abnormal vaginal bleeding, it is typically detected at its early stages. Other endometrial cancer symptoms include:
- Vaginal discharge
- Unexpected weight loss
- Abdominal pain
- Painful urination
- Pain during intercourse
Certain factors contribute to the risk of endometrial cancer. People who identify with the following health backgrounds have higher chances of developing the condition:
- Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Obesity
- Infertile
- Irregular periods
- First period before the age of 12
- Late-onset of menopause
- Family history of endometrial cancer
Doctors have yet to identify what causes endometrial cancer. What they have established is that the condition originates from DNA mutations in the lining of the uterus. The cause of this change is currently undetermined.
How Hormone Therapy Prevents and Treats Endometrial Cancer
Hormone therapy utilizes hormones and hormone-blocking drugs to treat the condition. Typically used in tandem with chemotherapy, it is recommended for cancer that has recurred or has progressed to stage III and stage IV. Here's how it treats and prevents endometrial cancer:
- Inhibits the growth of cancer cells
Hormone treatment for endometrial cancer is not the same hormone therapy that's used for menopausal symptoms. It has various forms, each one focusing on a certain aspect of the condition. All inhibit the growth of cancer cells in some way.
Hormone therapy for endometrial cancer includes:
- Progestin – impedes the growth of cancer cells
- Aromatase inhibitors – diminishes fat-related estrogen to curtail the growth of cancer cells
- Tamoxifen – prevents estrogens from contributing to the growth of cancer cells
- Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists – lowers estrogen levels to diminish the growth of cancer cells
- Helps regulate progesterone levels
Low progesterone levels may result in the development of endometrial hyperplasia, which in turn can cause endometrial cancer. As such, maintaining ideal progesterone levels helps prevent the development of the condition.
If the issue is a deficiency, one notable form of medication is compounded progesterone. A more customized solution compared to most of the synthetic progestins in the market, compounded progesterone uses bioidentical technology associated with reduced risk for cancer.
- Alleviates menopausal symptoms
Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive cycle, and it comes with a host of symptoms that may increase the risk for endometrial cancer. HRT helps ease premenopausal symptoms in women, especially when taken regularly. Continuous use can also regulate estrogen and progesterone levels, diminishing the chances of endometrial cancer development.
Compound Medication for Endometrial Cancer Prevention
Another way to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer is to maintain level hormones with compound medications. Typically prescribed by doctors at extremely low doses, this type of treatment comes in various forms, including:
- Creams and gels
- Tablets
- Skin patches
- Vaginal rings
Compounded medication is often prescribed at low, customized doses, making it easier for new users to adjust to administration. Visit your nearby compounding pharmacy now and learn more about hormone replacement therapy and how it can help the fight against cancer.
