My wee mate Jasper is an expert on the Irish language and Irish mythology, and twice a month we have pints and talk about fairies.

I finally got round to doing it in front of a camera; so enjoy this collection of Irish stories involving the flute and/or music (with an accent so gorgeous it almost rivals my own.)

If you wanna know about flute-making, various scales, mushrooms, drones, twisty things and holes; this is your episode. It was an absolute blast, I can’t recommend this one enough.
