  1. THE NIGHTINGALES
    In The Good Old Country Way
    1986 UK pressing

    A bonafide classic for a Saturday night.
    The Nightingales final album of their original run; one that mixes #postpunk , #folk , #artrock and incredibly unique arrangements.

    A lot of people regularly refer to this as their greatest artistic achievement, which we can debate, but I’ll tell you what… it’s DEFINITELY Robert Lloyd’s best lyrical tour-de-force.
    A sharp, witty, dry and sarcastic lyrical masterclass on his part.

    This album doesn’t get anywhere near the universal acclaim as it deserves. People who know KNOW. However, they didn’t get the same flowers as Gang Of Four, Wire, The Fall…. ANY of those bands.
    And they fucking should have.

  2. Bid to save early #rewilding site that hosts rare #nightingales and #TurtleDoves

    #Conservationists have launched a £1.5 million appeal to buy #farmland that was left to #nature 37 years ago

    "A farm left to nature years before 'rewilding' rose to prominence has become a unique and important site for wildlife, say conservationists launching a bid to save it.

    "The owner of Strawberry Hill, near Bedford, stopped farming his land 37 years ago, with once-arable fields reverting to #scrubland that is now a haven for a host of #wildlife including threatened nightingales, #cuckoos and turtle doves.

    "But the 150-hectare (377-acre) site has no official designations or protections, and following the owner’s death, there were fears the land could be sold and returned to agriculture.

    "After gaining a temporary stay of execution for the site, the #WildlifeTrust for Beds, Cambs and Northants (#BCN) has raised enough money to buy half the land.

    "Now the conservation charity is launching a £1.5 million appeal to secure the whole site, saving the habitat and its rich wildlife and providing a 'unique' opportunity to have a decades-long head start on rewilding the land for nature."
