Jenny Sturgeon chats with award winning fiddler player and composer Sam Sweeney about his 2020 album Unearth Repeat. They discuss Sam's process of interpreting traditional tunes, creatively adapting old tunes, writing and arranging new pieces, inspiration and what makes a song or tune sound likes it's from a specific place. They tackle several big questions - what is tradition? what makes a tune or song 'English'? And laugh, a lot.
