Mo Ho Sessions

Mo Ho Sessions – Episode 50
Heart to Heart with Jonny Morgan & The Moral Support

Episode 50 of Mo Ho Sessions is a big one.

Recorded live at the British Country Music Festival, this milestone episode sees us sit down heart-to-heart with Jonny Morgan and his full band, The Moral Support — and nothing is off the table.

From banana shakers, ostrich eggs and B-roll chaos, to deep conversations about burnout, songwriting, touring life, Nashville sessions, genre labels, and what moral support really means in the music industry — this is Mo Ho Sessions at its most honest, funniest, and most human.

We talk:

• Building a band that’s more family than session players

• Releasing music during lockdown and finding momentum

• Americana, country, “retro dad rock” and why genre labels don’t really matter

• Touring exhaustion, mental health, and surviving on coffee and optimism

• The stories behind the songs — including “Play Us When We Know”

• Why music is still about people, not algorithms

Plus, a full-band live performance recorded on site — raw, loud, and full of heart.

🎧 One song. One story. Unforgettable — Episode 50.

From top of a bus sessions to the Empress Ballroom stage — this Mo Ho Session is pure country chaos in the best way. Recorded at The British Country Music Festival 2025, DC Brown and Linda Conway sit down with four-fifths of Wood Burnt Red for an unfiltered chat about touring life, family balance, band bromance, and the meaning behind both Wood Burnt Red and Mo Ho.

There’s laughter, dad jokes, unexpected sex-ed moments, and even a sing-along to The Bare Necessities — all wrapped up with the story of how a simple barbecue glow became one of UK country’s brightest rising acts.

🎧 Expect stories from the road, stripped-back song talk, and genuine friendship on full display.

Episode 4 of Season Five of the Mo Ho Sessions, recorded at the British Country Music Festival 2025 in Blackpool.

This was the very first session we filmed in our dedicated room for the weekend — complete with a brand-new light setup (so it may look a little darker than the later episodes).

Joining us is the wonderful Sarah Louise, who brings warmth, humour, and plenty of sunshine to the conversation. She shares the story of how her single Place to Be came back to life, talks about her September Songwriting Challenge, and gives us a heartfelt performance. We also dive into her love for live shows, her latest release Sky Full of Stars, and play a round of This or That.

🌻 One song, one story. Unforgettable on the road.

Season 5 kicks off at the British Country Music Festival 2025 in Blackpool with the transatlantic duo Virginia Dirt (Miss Dirt + Mr Dirt): an American storyteller from Virginia and an Italian guitarist/producer who first met… in a tattoo parlour. We dig into the making of their EP Miss Dirt To You, why storytelling matters more than shredding, and how an online jam app during lockdown pulled a global cast of collaborators into their sound (recorded between London and Italy).

They talk arranging songs “like a kid with toys,” militant endings, the tension between vinyl-era albums and streaming’s 24-hour attention cycle, the life-or-death value of festivals and merch for independent artists, supporting Sunny Sweeney, and (yes) the great pineapple-on-pizza debate. We also get an exclusive live performance of their unreleased murder ballad “Marvin.”

Highlights

• Origin story & the name “Virginia Dirt”

• Building the EP with a drummer from the Netherlands, bluegrass friends in London, and producers in Rome

• Songs: “Call The Preacher,” “Old Bones,” “Burden of Truth,” “Woe Betide,” “Had It Coming,” “Stockholm,” plus the live exclusive “Marvin”

• Albums as journeys vs. single culture; AI in creativity; why listening rooms like Green Note matter
