Totally Folked

This month regular hosts Jo and Lee are joined by duo Good Habits. Cellist Bonnie and Accordionist Pete share stories of their time navigating a tour that left them in lockdown on the other side of the world and share some of their some of the tracks that have inspired them.

We're back with even more new music and gig previews from an overflowing gig guide. The fruit gin cocktails make a triumphant return, and we muse upon Michael Portillo's jackets.

Lee and Jo have had a fun filled month of gigs and the gig guide is bursting at the seams!

Join Lee and Jo to listen to a selection of new music and find out what's in the calendar with this month's gig guide. There's unexpected (and quickly crushed) guitar nerdery from Lee and a fine gin courtesy of Jo's Sidmouth shopping!

The pandemic is over. Just like that. Poof. And we're back with an actual gig guide. Actual real world gigs. And festivals. And gin. W'hoo.
