The Wolfe & Thorn Podcast

SEASON 2 commences with a special event, LIVE at the PROVIDENCE CAFE!  (42 Newdegate St, North Hobart, special thanks to Danning and all the wonderful staff!  MMMmmmmthat pulled pork sandwich!)
We kick off with a live audience whose heckling is now preserved on the internet FOREVER.
Songs include: The Opera Reel, Miss Officer's Waltz, Eileen McCoy's Varsoviennas #1&2,  Slow Stream, The On Board Waltz, and then, we play some EXTRA tunes! The tnago classic Para Una Cabeza,  CC and Emily play their winning entries to the FFT Song & tune comp, respectively: Doin' Stuff and Baked Spud/Toppings,  and we finish with a bit of a curve ball, the Jamaican folk classic, Sly Mongoose.

Well folks, that's the end of the line.  All change.  This ride is terminating.
For our final episode, we're playing a song from each episode, and one of our favorites.  Yes, you get TEN songs this podcast!!

The Joys of Piping
Glen Huon Waltz
Whip Snake In My Pocket
The Irish Cakewalk
Miss Mary Stirling's Hornpipe

Take care now!!  See you in Season 2!  xx oo

In this, the penultimate episode of season 1, Emily travels to the far east to record at CC's house for a change in Rokeby, on the other side of Hobart.  Violins prove science is WRONG!  We play tunes by the convict Laing, also a song from 2009 about a bouncy cat, as well as have a crack at two of Marjorie Gadd's tunes.  We also play CC's tune entry for the Folk Federation Comp.    It might not have been the best the podcast we'd done that day, but it was still pretty good.

Songs are:
Betsy Blinkworth at Newtown Van Diemans Land
Norah's Waltz
A Cat Called May
Hemiolas on Holiday
Queenstown Rains

We return from the break with songs from Tasmanian Dark Sith Lords.  CC insists the episode is in fact #7, claiming events in #8 were not canon.    Some poodles get the deluxe spa treatment and we cross the streams of Scruggs and Frailing in a Ross Smithard tune.   Also tunes from Ol' Man Laing and Paddy Riley.

Tunes were:
1. The Spanish Waltz
2. The Swedish Waltz
3.  The Girl in the Turquoise Dress
4.  Mrs Downie's hornpipe
5. Dingo's Breakfast

In this *very special* episode of the Wolfe & Thorn podcast, we  take a brief excursion into songs that are traditional heritage tunes for people in Tasmania and around the world - Carols!  Much maligned, CC and Emily give a Giuliani-style defense of these much maligned  folk tunes, AND!!!  just for you, because it's xmas, we play one extra tune as well!  (Hint - it ain't a xmas song!)
Enjoy, be safe, have a very merry season and above all - destroy capitalism.
Love to you and your family wherever you may find them, 
CC & Emily!
(PS we'll take a couple of weeks and be back with the final 2 episodes of this season in Early January.)

In this episode Emily tries to escape Steve Gadd but falls right into his cunning trap.  CC cusses out historical figures and shares self flagellation notes with Emily.    A capo is used brazenly enabling the pair to play at least 80% of the correct notes.

Songs played are:

Miss Mary Stirling's Hornpipe
Slow Stream
The Humors of Bagdad
Edie's Scones
Mrs Champ's Reel

In this episode we are informed expressly by elephant express.  We play 4 very young songs in the Tasmanian repertoire and one very old one.  Emily's carpet cleaning expenses sky rocket, while CC is banned (again) from facebook.

Songs we play are:

Delayed Flight
Blake's Cascade
Old Salt Wind
Irish Cakewalk
The Big Bad Wolfe

In this episode we accidentally turn the Steve Gadd Bot 2000 to "evil" setting with spectacular results.  Emily plays with bandages on BOTH hands and CC gives away even more forbidden banjo secrets further reducing his chances of ever receiving redemption from the Banjo Players Guild.

Songs we play are:

Mrs G.S. Meredith's Favorite
The Gloriana Reel
Forks In The Fire
World of Beatrix Potter
Whipsnake in the Pocket

The third episode, where we begin by explaining some of our misadventures attempting a live podcast at the Clarendon Arms Hotel in Evandale, we get expert historical advice from a shiny artificial Steve Gadd machine, and I fall down an Eileen McCoy Rabbit Hole.

Oh, and we play 5 songs, and they are:
Take Your Shoes Off And Go To Bed 
Richmond Lasses
Dr Moore On Parade With the Derwent Rifles
The Glen Huon Waltz
Down Longford Way
BONUS TRACK!
The Glen Huon Waltz (Studio version)

The second episode of the Wolfe & Thorn Heritage Fiddle Podcast!  We start the show by reading various corrections we were forced to make for legal reasons.
Then we can begin.  (There is a traffic alert due to an accident involving an elephant and a cart of cabbages on the Southern Outlet.  There may be delays.)
Songs include:
Miss Officer's Waltz
The Joys of Piping
The Little Varsovienna/Paddy Dawson's Varsovienna
Curacao Valse
Uncle Affie's Tap/King Pippin's Polka
