In this episode we hear a much overdue for release recording where we talk to Britain's top claw-hammer banjo player, the incredible Dan Walsh. Dan talks about his career, how he got started in the industry and his trip to India to work with Eastern musicians, bringing Irish and Indian music together.

We listen to few of Dan's tracks, and we're lucky enough to get him to do a live performance for us!

You can learn more about Dan here

Hello and welcome back, after a bit of a hiatus, due to Kris studying for a qualification.

We return just in time for Autumn and some exciting upcoming guests. So, it’s a big hello, hello, hello to our guest today, Joe Hillcox, who is just finishing his policing training. We discuss studying for a degree when you have dyslexia, Star Wars games and films and the Marvel Universe. As usual there’s some chat about what video games we’re playing, and Joe and I are both keen musicians, so we discuss home recording and why he still hasn’t sent me the songs he wants the bass tracks on. There are all the usual features such as Coffee Time, Claim to Fame and Boxers or Pants.
