Field Ramble is back and we have two great interviews with Aidan Cottrell-Boyce and Niamh Mulvey.  Aidan tells us what lies behind his incredible novel The End of Nightwork an absolute favourite at Field. Then we catch up with Niamh to discuss her beautiful collection of short stories, Hearts and Bones,  published last year. If you've yet to read it, we'd echo Sinéad Gleeson's description of Niamh's work as panormaic, precise, stunning prose.

Huge thanks go to Ian Hawgood and Lisa O Neill for the use of the beautiful music in this episode. Find all their music on Bandcamp and be sure to give Lisa's beautiful new album All of This is Chance (Rough Trade) a listen.

Tracks used on this episode were taken from the albums:
Ian Hawgood - Echoes from the Edges of Time

In the final episode of this series Sam and Spencer chat with  author Cynan Jones about his incredible novels The Dig, The Long Dry and Everything I Found on the Beach. Cynan conjures a deep sense of place and we delve into how he does it. The Dig is a big favourite in Field HQ, so if you're yet to read it, get it on the top of the pile.

We also chat with the wonderful Orla Fletcher about capturing her native Derry and the magnetic draw of childhood to the writer. We check in with Clive, one half of the brains behind the beaut  Voce Books in Birmingham for  a couple of recommends.  And the episode is drawn to a close by poet Elizaveta Guryeva.

Thanks as ever to Kibrom Birhane for the use of his tune Maleda as our pod theme.

So, Merry Christmas. Big love. See you in 2023 xx

Sam and Spencer chat with  Ros Anderson about her compelling page turner The Hierarchies.   Ros's novel is the story of Sylvie a sex robot whose growing self awareness compellingly clashes with her programming. Think Angela Carter goes to work on  A.I.
We also chat with emerging novelist Dan Hett about the joys of writing speculative fiction and his current project Arc. As well as get a couple of recommends in the genre from Argonaut Books (Leith) owner Adam. If you've yet to read The Hierarchies, its a huge recommend from both of us.
