Big news! In September, we’ll be at the Traditional Music Day in Stowmarket, doing our first live episode!

It’ll be recorded it all and will be on our Patreon a few weeks later and then in place as S17/E4. We’re thrilled to doing a live in person episode and there are plans for more next year.

The keen eyed amongst you have noticed that the final episode of the season has not yet been uploaded.

Irritating technical difficulties on this end. Should be sorted in the next couple of days.

Gearing up to record my interview with next week’s singer guest. It’s the ballad Lord Bateman (Roud 40, Child 53) but who is the guest? If you’ve finished today’s episode already, you’ll know who.

Otherwise, my only clue is… Star Trek!
