Back at Westminster but this time with the support of Cathy & Heathcliff. Two legendary giant curlews that have been up hill and down dale raising vital funds and awareness. Curlew power in the corridors of power! Yeah baby 👊🏻

It’s Tuesday 21st April, which means it’s World Curlew Day!

A day to celebrate this remarkable bird with its huge long bill and haunting, soul stirring song, and also to ponder the many pressures and challenges that it faces when trying survive and raise its young within our harried and imbalanced landscapes.

If any curlew rescue package is going to succeed then it will not only need local communities but also society as a whole to get properly involved. The bottom line is that we need to fall back in love with the beauty and wonder of the natural world. That connection is at the heart of everything.

@davidgray is one of those artists whose music has genuinely soundtracked people’s lives. Babylon, Please Forgive Me, This Year’s Love — songs that felt deeply personal to millions of people all over the world.

But what really sits at the heart of David’s story is something so pure and so human — a love of music so deep and so consuming that it has driven everything he has ever done. And then there’s the live experience — the extraordinary connection that happens between an artist and an audience when a song lands in a room full of people (even if touring is sometimes difficult). For David, that feeling is everything. He’s a perfect Midpoint guest because reaching this point in life and career doesn’t dim that fire — if anything it deepens it. The love of the craft, the thrill of performing, the relationship with an audience built over decades — at the midpoint, all of that means more, not less.

His story is really a love story — between an artist, his music, and the people who have shared it with him. This is a joyful, warm and deeply honest conversation about creativity, connection and what it means to dedicate your life to something you truly love.

David Gray’s new album Nightjar, a companion to his 2005 No.1 record Life in Slow Motion, is out now via Bella Figura. He’ll be touring across the UK and Ireland this summer as part of his Past & Present World Tour (21 dates).

A moment of pause, from @davidgray 🌿

“If we don’t feel connected to the world around us, how can we protect it?”

During a conversation at GEI18, after taking part in @earthpercent Hour session, David shared something simple but powerful: before action comes awareness. Before strategy, connection. ✨

Because sustainability doesn’t start with policies, it starts with people actually feeling part of something bigger.

Watch the full clip and take a moment to reconnect.

Well Hello There 👋🏻

A gentle reminder that The Past & Present Tour has a future!

In just a couple of months from now it will be gig o’clock once again, and I’ll be heading out with my amazing band for a celebratory summer trip around some amazing venues across the UK and Ireland. Songs from right across the back catalogue mixed in with a few from recent album Dear Life, and with the odd unexpected cover version thrown in for good measure. It’s going to be a blast.

Final remaining tickets on sale now.

Mary & Dave in the shadow of Big Ben 👊🏻

Last Wednesday was another significant day for the curlew cause with a chance to raise their landscape wide difficulties directly with MPs at a private briefing event in the House of Commons. It was an extremely poignant and powerful afternoon with some wonderful speakers from across the farming, conservation and policy making sectors. Feelings were running high amongst all concerned, with the threat of losing these majestic birds along with much of our other vulnerable wildlife, being all too real.

All of us are determined to do everything we have to do to try and guarantee that the UK Curlew Action Plan is more than just words on a page, and results in real and well considered ACTIONS, right across its current range.

Do the songs of ‘Nightjar’ feel close, or like they belong to a version of you from the past? Full video on YouTube now.
