Episode 2.1 Folkbuddies' Lonely Hearts Club Band

The Folk Buddies are emotionally drained because "Walk the Line" is such a moving film and also whisky. So they carry on talking about Johnny Cash's songs. Andrew like the one about great military defeats; Clarrie likes the one about sweet shops; but oddly enough they both like the one about hangovers.

Episode 38: Another Intermission

The Folk Buddies leave their guns at home as they walk the line into a burning ring of fire and watch two movies about the life of Johnny Cash -- "Walk the Line" (the serious one) and "Walk Hard" (the funny one.) No one does the joke about Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. A Johnny Cash Playlist

Dogs; cats; bulls; blacksmiths; bantam cocks; ladys' bottoms and Jesus.   All bickering is suspended as Andrew and Clarrie talk about Jake Thackray: the best, the very best of all English poet singers.   Listen to some of his songs right here.

Yes...it's the highlight of the folkbuddies year...The annual awards for the the best folk music of 2014, chosen by a committee of bloggers and podcasters living near Montpelier Station. 

Episode 32: The 2014 Monty Awards

It is still 2015. Andrew and Clarrie are still listening to last year's stack of CDs. They unexpectedly agree about Maz O'Connor, and predictably agree about Martin and Eliza Carthy, Bellowhead, and O'Hooley and Tidow. They say they aren't going to have the same argument about Luke Jackson they did last time, and then do. Andrew says "Hang on..." too often. GUARANTEED PENGUIN FREE. 

Episode 31: Back to the Future 2

Andrew is all by himself. He talks about Circus of Boom, Hobo Jones, Chris Wood, and other great gigs that he has been to. By himself. INTRODUCING: Penguin Buddy. WARNING: May contain poetry

Episode 30: Folk No Buddies 2

Andrew has been to hear Ushti Baba, Calico Jack, a big celebration of Bob Copper at Cecil Sharp House, and some youngster name Luke Jackson. Clarrie isn't around, so he get's to pontificate without interruptions. 

Episode 29: Folk No Buddies

It is the year 2015 AD. Two Folk Buddies take off their space helmets, jump out of their jet cars, switch off their personal communication devices, and look back on some of the music they were listening to in 2014.

Episode 28: Back to the Future

Mulled wine; mulled cider; kittens; mince pies in the shape of Christmas trees; terrible, terrible Christmas records: these are a few of the Folkbuddies favourite things. Caution: May contain singing Playlist (naughty) Playlist (nice)

Episode 27: It's Cliched To Be Cynical At Christmas

Two idiots discuss folk music and bicker. But in an entertaining way. Not a ruining the concert way.
