Once a year, a carnival rolls into town beneath a blood-red moon, its lights flickering and its rides creaking in the cold night air.
Nobody remembers who built it, and by sunrise, nobody remembers exactly what happened there. What music do you hear from it?
This weeks theme, #HauntedCarnival

In 2020, Andrew McGee & I came up with the idea to gather musicians from @musicweeklies.bsky.social to perform a song we'd written. As everything rolled around and the years have brought an even tougher world, I think it's time to give this #feelgood track another shout.

Sitting in your armchair, surrounded by a thick cloud of smoke, you’re deep in thought, staring into space, when suddenly an idea pops into your head : it’s elementary! Well, musically speaking, how does that sound?
