The Andy Kershaw Podcast

This is the free-for-all version, featuring Robyn Hitchcock in Kershaw’s kitchen, tributes to Rise Kagona and Kris Kristofferson… and a game of ‘one song to the tune of another.’

This is the free-for-all version, featuring Martin Carthy in Kershaw’s kitchen, plus lots of songs and a joke about Joni Mitchell.

This is the free-for-all version, featuring Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter Bob Collum, with Mags Layton (violin) and Martin Cutmore (bass), in Kershaw’s kitchen, plus lots of songs that aren’t by Taylor Swift.

This is the free-for-all version, featuring Rik Lord, the most talented guitarist ever to be discovered busking outside a Todmorden supermarket, plus a crafted collection of magnificent music for you to fall in love with.

This is the free-for-all version, featuring a kitchen session with Leeds rockers The Burner Band. We’ve got boogie, country, Africana, Americana, folk, soul and gospel. Warning: this podcast is addictive.

This is the free-for-all version, featuring folk music royalty Eliza Carthy and Jon Boden, playing songs from their new album of wassailing wonderments and telling stories. Plus lots of tracks I hope you’ve never heard before but will love for ever more.

This is the free-for-all version, featuring my brand-new kitchen session with Martin Stephenson (plus one Daintee) and some of the greatest cover-versions you’ll ever hear. The Rolling Stones sing the Temptations, while the Persuasions sing the Impressions. You are invited to marvel at the segues.

This is the free-for-all version, featuring part one of my tribute to my friend Brendan Croker, who died last month. I’m sharing a session I recorded in 1998 with Brendan and his fellow Notting Hillbilly Steve Phillips.

This is the free-for-all, sixty-minute version in which I dig out a rare Richard Thompson recording that will blow your socks off, and ask whether anyone ever played Springsteen better than Bruce (I have a candidate for your consideration). Lots more to entice and delight, but just wait until you hear…

This is the free-for-all, sixty-minute version. Among other jewels, you’ll hear part of my 1990 session recording with The Jolly Boys from Port Antonio, Jamaica – and I’m hoping you’ll want more. Founded in 1945, this mento combo may be the longest-lasting little band in the world - only the line-up has changed!  Go to www.andykershaw.co.uk, chip in a few quid and become a patron to hear the full two hour version of this podcast.
