A wonderful meeting with my dear friend @kapilseshasayee from Scotland, UK — but a strong Ambedkarite at heart.

It’s Babasaheb Ambedkar who connects us all! From watching his plays in London to meeting again in Delhi, it has always been a joy spending time with him. Also happy to have him and @edwin_mclachlan visit to the Supreme Court. ✊🏽💙 Jai Bhim

[Secret Show | 090826]

In the spirit of the @edfringe we put on a free, secret show on Sunday evening at @sneakypetesclub - We played songs for the last time and songs for the first time, across two totally unique 10-song sets, and had a really fantastic time doing it.

We eschewed social media promotion for this show and instead relied on our newsletter, word of mouth and on the day flyering. While this was a bit of an experiment, it felt substantially more aligned with the Day Sleeper ethos and we were thrilled that it paid off.

Quietly. Slowly. On and On.

If you were there, thanks so much for coming down.

Thank God for Air Con.

We are home and ready to nap, but would like to quickly thank everyone who came out to see us play in Leeds, Manchester and London over the last few nights!

You made every second spent on the surface of the sun (aka a standard family room at any motorway Travelodge) well worth it ✌🏻

Thanks also to @theatticleeds @thecavpresents + @theeagleinn for having us. These are the cornerstones of music as far as we’re concerned.

Also to @jonnywoodheadmusic / @sol_edwards who worked magic on sound!

ALSO the incredible bands who shared the stage; @linesof_flight @bottlemoth @cherryseraph.wav @flyover_band_ + @kingcasiomusic

We’ll do it again soon, DS x

GREAT MEETING @kapilseshayee 🎸…

So happy to have finally met musicians Edwin (@edwin_mclachlan) and Kapil, one of the most exciting independent artists making music with conscience.

We spoke about music, politics, caste, divisions in the diaspora, South Asian communities across England and Scotland, and more.

Always inspiring to meet people using art to move the dial.

More collaborations between artists, activists, and organisers ✊🏽
