Show notes

FolkCast: the podcast that brings you the worlds of folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter and roots music.

THIS SHOW: Rewind Special. We step back from the constant cascade of brand new releases and take a bite – often a second or third bite – from records that are still new but maybe no longer brand spanking new. The first scuffs are on the sleeve notes. At least one has got an unfortunate coffee ring on the back of the jacket, and a couple of the CDs have got mixed up in each other's cases…

THIS SHOW: A brand new regular feature for you - Alphabetti Folketti - in which I’ll be getting out my big pan of spaghetti letters in tomato sauce, giving it a stir, and seeing which letter floats to the surface. Yes, it’s a pasta-based random letter generator which will develop into a folkie lexicon, an A-to-Z on toast of all things related to our kind of music. Which letter will the spaghetti pan produce?

FolkCast-Damh2018 — **FolkCast Interview Special - Damh The Bard - January 2018** Jan 27, 2018
Show notes

FolkCast: the podcast that brings you the worlds of folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter and roots music.

INTERVIEW SPECIAL: DAMH THE BARD.
Pagan singer-songwriter Damh The Bard (aka Dave The Bard, aka Dave Smith) has launched a career-defining musical project - a telling of the ancient story cycle called Y Mabinogi, based on the traditional bardic tales contained in the earliest native British writings, The Mabinogion. It’s a very impressive and ambitious concept, and Dave tells us all about the story, and what has prompted him to retell it for a modern audience. Along the way we discuss national identity, mistletoe, ravens, sacred horses and whether the UK’s most prominent pagan performer can break into the mainstream folk music scene.
