An absolute pleasure to have your listening ears for our final podcast episode of 2024. As usual we celebrate great music in our December episode, with Chris’ top albums of the year. And this year he’s chosen twelve amazing albums, our 12 Albums for Christmas, and 1 EP as a stocking present.

Enjoy music from India Electric Co, George Boomsma, Brown Horse, The Shackleton Trio, Annie Dressner, Katherine Priddy, The Henry Girls, Kathryn Williams & Withered Hand, Ferris & Sylvester, The Decemberists, 5 Hills Out, Hope & Social, and Frankie Archer.

Thanks for listening to the fifth in our collection of special Deepdale Festival Podcasts in 2024. Jason is your host for this series.

In this episode Jason chats with Lorna and Karen from The Henry Girls, who are playing on Sunday, Ross Stewart, who is playing on Friday, and Elizabeth & Jameson, who perform on Friday.

Lorna and Karen from The Henry Girls join me over the internet from Ireland. 10 years ago Chris drove to Birmingham one evening to see them play in the Kitchen Garden Café. When he bought his CD after the gig, they wrote on his purchase that they hoped to make it to Norfolk someday. So you can understand how excited he is that he’s hosting them for Deepdale Festival 2024.

Ross is a local, living in Norfolk for most of his life, but you wouldn’t know from his accent or his support of Scottish sports teams. He chats about creating music and finding his style.

Hannah and Griff, aka Elizabeth & Jameson, chat about how they came to music, Hannah’s love of Welsh rugby and being surrounding by the music of the valleys.

Thank you to all of them for allowing us to play a sample of their music. From The Henry Girls we play A Time To Grow, from Ros Stewart we play Sweet Morning, and from Elizabeth & Jameson we play Old Town.

Enjoy this episode, and we hope you’ll listen back to the rest of the Deepdale Festival series.

Christina & Alex chat about how their music writing happens, particularly interesting to know how a couple who are also relatively new parents navigate the process.

Christian chats about how The Heretics came into being, and the way his musical journey has changed direction with addition of the band and three fellow collaborators.

Thank you to all of them for allowing us to play a sample of their music. From Hawksley Workman we play Battlefords, from Christina Alden & Alex Patterson we play Safe Travels (thinking of all of you travelling to Deepdale for the Festival), and from Christian Smith & The Heretics we play Revelry.

Polly who has also joined Jason on the Deepdale Podcast previously, has just reached a huge milestone with fundraising to develop a triple vinyl album.

17:09 - Oli Reville

One Stop Nature Shop

Thank you to Oli for another wildlife update letting visitors know what they can enjoy on the North Norfolk Coast. He updates us, while manning their stand at the Global Bird Fair at Rutland Water. A quiet summer so far, however excitement builds as reverse migration and wading birds move back through enroute to Winter locations. You can always pop into One Stop Nature Shop at Dalegate Market for up to date sighting information and of course a great range of equipment.

18:54 - Martin Billing

North Norfolk the Guide (amongst other things)

Martin chats with Jason about how North Norfolk the Guide came about, who would have thought it had a Las Vegas connection. He runs us through the range of retail outlets that he and his wife Sarah run in Wells-next-the-Sea and Burnham Market. And he explains how Norfolk Restaurant Week came about, and we discover that over 40,000 diners eat with the event each year.

Hello and welcome to the Deepdale Podcast.  I’m Jason and it’s April 2024.  Thanks for listening to our little slice of North Norfolk life.  We hope that you are managing to enjoy the wonders of Spring somewhere beautiful, and that the weather is giving you both time outdoors and excuses to enjoy a local hostelry or café.

This month I headed East from Deepdale into North Norfolk to visit two of the premier attractions in this beautiful part of the world - North Norfolk Railway and Wroxham Barns.  Both are long standing parts of the local tourism industry and it was great to find out more about their offering and history.

Before we dive into steam trains, crafts and cute animals, there have been lots of additions to the events programme, in particular rural craft workshops on Deepdale Farm, more additions to the street food we are hosting, and hundreds of additional events have been added from all over North Norfolk and West Norfolk.  You can see full listings on our website at deepdalecamping.co.uk/events/

Deepdale Farm are hosting their Open Farm Sunday event on Sunday 2nd June.  It’s a free event, themed ‘Farming with nature’ and is a great chance to visit the organic farm, explore their machinery, find out about invertebrates, bats & birds and have a go at green woodworking or enjoy a guided farm walk.  Head to deepdalefarm.co.uk for more information and to book tickets.

The accommodation on site for Deepdale Festival 2024 is all sold out, but day tickets are available and we are working with lots of local accommodation.  Full details are on the festival website deepdalefestival.co.uk

And lastly a reminder that The Pantaloons join us again this summer with their wonderful open air theatre. This year we’ll be hosting their hilarious versions of The Importance of Being Earnest on Wednesday 12th June and The Merry Wives of Windsor on Thursday 22nd August. To book tickets and for more information go to deepdalecamping.co.uk/theatre/

Enjoy the listen, and we hope to see you very soon.
