He / Him.

FAWM number NINETEEN. Ridiculous.

New for 2026: I've borrowed a banjo. Also bought a little digital multitrack recorder so I can try to do a little more demo-recording away from the computer which I'm hoping will make things a little more spontaneous. Mostly hoping I can come up with a few new songs suitable for playing live at my next gig on 10th March - fingers crossed!

Hey hey hey hey - Hope you are doing well, even as the world blows up. it's rough and I am struggling for many reasons. BUT as always would love a collab with you if possible. Let me know. :)

@vomvorton 1w

Hey! Really sorry for your loss 😔

I don't think I'll be able to collaborate this year I'm afraid. I'm not even sure I'll manage another song

@loveonamixtape 1w

Sorry to hear -- though not at all surprised melting face emoji -- that the burnout is more widespread. It's almost like...the world is...terrible? ANYWAY! YES would love a collab, if we're able! And I still look forward to hearing what you come up with, as I do every year. :)

@vomvorton 1w

🫠 is definitely the 2026 emoji

@tobermory 2w

Oh my gosh I'm ashamed to admit I forgot to say hi at the start of fawm, this is unforgivable

@vomvorton 2w

don't worry, you did say hi at the start of FAWM! I simply did not respond, for I am a monster

@tobermory 1w

Oh yes. Hmm bad memory and inability to concentrate make good bedfellows

@sailingmagpie 2w

Obligatory greeting message

@vomvorton 2w

Perfunctory response

@seemanski 2w

VV, glad to see you are playing live again. Is that a new cat you have or have I just been massively oblivious? I have every confidence you will come up with some fresh tunes for your gig. Where are you playing?

@vomvorton 2w

Hiya! Same old cat, that photo is about five years old but she's still here causing trouble. I'm playing at JT Soar in Nottingham on March 10th so it's a bit of a quick turnaround for new songs but will see how it goes!

@seemanski 2w

Massively oblivious it is then. I'll make a note of your gig, if I can't make it then I hope you have a blinder.

@freshspotlessyouth 2w

I can already hear the banjo. I'm genuinely excited to find out what that instrument sounds like in the VV context

@vomvorton 2w

You can have a little preview here! https://prfmonthlytributeseries.bandcamp.com/track/heart

Looking forward to using it in a song I actually wrote, if I can remember how to do that.

@kissinginpublic 2w

Hello! Looking forward to the banjo!

@vomvorton 2w

Hey! Looking forward to the sophisti-pop!

@kissinginpublic 2w

If I get bored, I might progress to hyper-sophisti-pop…

@adforperu 2w

Nineteen?! I'm not even that many years old!

@tobermory 2w

It's finally FAWM time. January has been especially long and arduous. I pine for new wobbly banjo and you're the man to do it

@tamsnumber4 2w

Have a Great FAWM!

@vomvorton 2w

cheers, you too!

@dasbinky 2w

Midway through a Twin Peaks rewatch myself. 😀

I think the Season 2 finale will be my FAWM eve watch and I'll pick up Season 3 again in March. Planning to read this book along with Season 3, keeping everything multimedia.

Rock on! 🎸

@vomvorton 2w

Ah nice! I think I'm going to pick this new book up for a post-FAWM read: https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571393886-a-place-both-wonderful-and-strange/

@dasbinky 2w

Oooh, excellent. I've now wishlisted that one. 😄
