Totally Folked

There's being on good form, and there's being the pinnacle of professionalism that is Jo and Leo, your Totally Folked hosts. We take in everything from pumpkins as the basis of floral arrangements to holographic folk artists, and of course there are gigs and new releases.

We even have Leo's bandmate David on board to discuss another new podcast project.

This episode comes to you from a Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, set in a sunny field on the Jurassic Coast. There's an absolute hoard of new music to delight your ears, and a rather smashing gin. You may even hear the sounds of the festival carried on the breeze to our recording hideaway in the artists field!

The gig guide this month is a festival fly by, featuring picks from some of our local festivals scattered across August. We're swinging by Wickham, Sidmouth and the lovely Purbeck Valley Folk Festival after a bumper crop of new music with a double measure of a very quaffable gin in hand!

There was so much new music this month we didn't even manage to squeeze in any Glasto-bants! With gin inspired by the plight of some creepy crawlies, there's music from previous podcast guest Ellie Gowers, and even a brief excursion to the New World with a song about Maple Syrup.

The wine was flowing as abundantly as the new music this month! With a lovely Columbo gin as an accompaniment to the music, Jo and Leo peek ahead at the upcoming summer festivals.

The kittens run amok as we zoom through a gig guide that's bursting at the seams! Leo's had his hair done, and Jo has been gin shopping for a tasty selection of half time podcast refreshments.

Jo and Leo are in the studio for an interview with Blair Dunlop and Ellie Gowers before their concert at Bournemouth Folk Club. It's a whistle stop tour of musical inspirations and also a smorgasbord of new music with fresh releases from the likes of Jacob and Drinkwater.

The new releases just kept on coming this month! Jo and Lee toast the tidal wave of brand new music with a pink gin whilst wondering where the Scandi-folk disco went!

Episode 28: The one where we all realised a lifetime's ambition.

There's already new music on the horizon as the fruit gin sees us into the New Year. Jo and Lee also look back on some 2021 releases that didn't make it into the jam packed playlists before looking ahead in the gig guide.
