The Sound of the Bar

JB is joined by the duo Aaron and Violeta of the FOLK DRAMA for the latest edition of The Sound of the Bar.

There is discussion around a potential release date for their album, upcoming gigs and other plans for 2026.

They give us an insight in to how they got together with some lockdown love forming the basis of the creation of the band.

We discuss their recent trip to London for Tim Burgess's merch market which the duo have been lucky enough to be part of before.

Another thing up for discussion is their creation of the Songwriters Hub which you can check out news over on Instagram @the_songwriters_hub

We conclude the podcast with some quickfire questions.

Be sure to check them out on their socials @theFOLKDRAMA where you can be kept up to date with their latest news.
