Invisible Folk Club Podcasts: Recent Episodes
Invisible Folk Club
Invisible Folk Club core podcasts create an ambience somewhere between a folk club and a workshop. We want to entertain and educate through music and conversation. Egos are parked outside, everybody is treated the same. We do not record in a 'proper' studio, we simply set up the Zoom recorder in a terraced cottage in the heart of England and off we go. It is literally a cottage industry! We create a convivial atmosphere in which the musicians soon forget about the microphones. Then the spirit, talent, skill and enjoyment can shine through.
Invisible Folk hosts another poetry reading.
This podcast features the comic verse of Clare Pasquale, the reflective nature poems of Ben Batten and 4 of Jon's poems that can be found in For the Many not the Few volume 39. An anthology published by Inherit the Earth, available through Amazon where all the proceeds go to charities for the homeless.
This is a podcast from Invisible Folk in collaberation with the Chesham Literary Festival.
In this episode I talk to Raven Dane, novelist, short story writer and occasional film star. Raven is famous for her dark fantasy, steampunk and folk horror novels and a wide variety of short stories.
Listen to the highlights of the Chesham Literary Festival poetry competition awards ceremony held at the Town Hall, Chesham on 12th July 2024. It was a great evening. Many thanks to the four judges - Emily Townsend, Valerie Jack, Ben Batten & Jon Bickley, with additional thanks to Mark Jackson-Hancock and Pemby.
Invisible Folk is proud of the brilliant volunteers, poetry competition winners, commended poets, families and friends who made our awards ceremony such a success.

Singer/Songwriters Jim Causley and Miranda Sykes joined narrator John Palmer (director of the critically-acclaimed Vaughan Williams anniversary 'From Pub to Pulpit' Cathedral tour) to talk us through a new show entitled 'Ghosts, werewolves and countryfolk - the songs and stories of Sabine Baring-Gould'
Polymath and Victorian superstar Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was, amongst many other things, a best-selling novelist most notably for stories of ghosts, werewolves and Norse myths. Despite wide ranging interests he felt the most important part of his life was collecting songs from Devon and Cornwall, amassing more than 2000 songs. In the show Miranda, Jim and John interweave some of those songs with anecdotes from Baring-Gould's astonishing life and stories. Ticket info from https://www.mirandasykes.com/baring-gould-centenary/
Songs (in order of appearance):
Jim Causley & Miranda Sykes - My Lady's Coach Jim Causley & Miranda Sykes - Cottage Well Thatched Jim Causley & Miranda Sykes - Last of the Singers

Rhiannon Crutchley is an independent, alternative, acoustic musician who performs under the name Brewer's Daughter. For the last 10 years she has lived on a narrowboat travelling the inland waterways of the English east Midlands. She has worked the festival scene in the UK and Europe both solo and as fiddle player with Tarantism.
Released on 5th April 2024 ‘Made Undone’ is Rhiannon's third solo album and is by far her most advanced to date, not only in terms of songwriting, but in production values too. The collaboration with Hawkwind guitarist Magnus Martin has been particularly fruitful.

This is the final podcast of our Grace will lead me home project, a partnership with the Cooper & Newton Museum (Olney) to mark the 250th anniversary of the writing of Amazing Grace. Our guest speaker is James Walvin, OBE Emeritus Professor of History at York University, his latest book is the cultural history of Amazing Grace. It is fascinating and comprehensive, not only of the creation of the beloved hymn, but its evolution from 1772 as it passes through a series of cultural ecosystems.

In the final part of our festive trilogy we reflect on the old year and ring in the new. For centuries, wassailing was a key part of year-end celebrations. 'Wassail' derives from the old Norse for 'good health' usually involving drinking and raucous singing. Bring us in good ale!

Everybody knows Louis de Bernières is a world famous novelist and poet, but we were intrigued to discover he had a lesser known talent as a singer and songwriter. His second solo album 'Delicate Lies' was due for release in October 2023 so we invited him to the Invisible Folk Club for a musical discussion. An interesting conversation ensued. Many thanks to musician David Edward Booth producer of 'Delicate Lies' for enabling this podcast to happen.
We have featured 3 songs from 'Delicate Lies': 1 Mancunian Rain 2 The Snow 3 There Must Be More Than This?
Purchase 'Delicate Lies' via https://www.louisdebernieresofficial.com/music.html

Invisible Folk Club are getting back to 'face to face' podcast sessions. It's just like the old days, sitting around chatting, drinking tea and playing songs.
During the pandemic Jon Bickley convened an online Song Writing Circle with Alan Garmonsway, Stewart Murdoch & Dave Artus. The idea was to come up with a different songwriting topic each month. It was a very productive and therapeutic process.
With some sort of normality returning it seemed like a good opportunity to air the cream of the material created by these four veteran troubadours. A 'Best of...' compilation.
The first 58 minutes are available free on our Podcast Channel with the remaining 32 minutes available exclusively to our Patreon subscribers. There's some great music and conversation.

Sally-Anne has published extensively on the History of Art and at the time of interview was the Head Curator for the National Tuest. In this capacity she co-edited a report tracing where slave trade compensation money went and which of the estates, now managed by the trust, benefited. We also discussed the way in which the heritage industry tells the stories of the past and how that informs our view of the present.
“Only by honestly and openly acknowledging and sharing those stories can we do justice to the true complexity of past, present and future, and the sometimes-uncomfortable role that Britain, and Britons, have played in global history since the sixteenth century or even earlier.”
In a time when opinions are presented as facts, properly researched and evidenced historical facts are all the more important. We bring them to you, here.

Erica Roffe is co-founder and Managing Editor of the Bedford Independent, a dynamic, informed and informative local news website.
The demise of print media and buying-up of local titles by syndicates has resulted in a collapse of local news services in Bedford. Coupled with the decline of its distinctive High Street the town is in danger of losing sight of its essential character.
For many years Erica's dynamic energy brought pop-up events to Bedford High Street utilising slack space. In 2018 she co-founded the Bedford Independent; like the town it represents it is democratic, independent and inclusive. It's like a digital village square.
Amanda Molcher is a trustee of the Cowper & Newton Museum (Olney, Bucks) and has led the museum's AG250 project. She has also been a key facilitator in Invisible Folk's Grace Will Lead Me Home project. Her knowledge of the museum's collection, history and contemporary relevance has inspired thousands of visitors through exhibitions and events. In this podcast Amanda reflects on Newton's life including his involvement in the slave trade and how a museum can convey those stories to a modern audience.

In March 2023 Jon Bickley met up with Angeline Morrison and Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne. They stayed togther in Dartmouth House in Olney, once owned by the Earl of Dartmouth, the man who gave John Newton his first clerical position, that of Curate in Charge at St.Peter and St.Paul's church (Olney).
Together Angeline, Cohen and Jon researched Newton's life, the history and meaning of Amazing Grace and the transatlantic slave trade, with tremendous support and guidance from the Cowper & Newton Museum.
We talked, sang and performed for the camera. Here is Jon's personal diary of that time.
On April 7th 2000 Nelson Mandela came to Bedford to rededicate the bust of his friend and mentor Trevor Huddleston who was born in Bedford in 1913. The visit lasted less than an hour but it made a lasting impression on everyone who was there. Invisible Folk tracked down some of those people and asked them for their memories, we collected them together to create this podcast. As well as talking to people who were on the streets of Bedford that day we also hear the story of how the visit actually came about.
During research we located a YouTube film with 10 minutes of television hightlights sourced from both ITV (Anglia) and BBC (East of England). Can you spot your younger self? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKHG4F0rBfI

Jon Bickley talks to community leader Pauline Stepney for an ongoing podcast series marking the 250th anniversary of the writing of Amazing Grace. Its author John Newton was a slave trader and later an abolitionist. We all know that Amazing Grace is universally loved but how do we view the slave trade today? We asked three people of Caribbean descent how it impacts on their lives even now.
Pauline is an inspirational leader within the Caribbean community in Bedford. As the child of immigrants Pea has witnessed the evolution of community relations over many years. As a trustee of the Legacy of Windrush Descendants (LOWD) charity she is working to deliver educational, cultural, social, advocacy, commemorative and health events as a contribution to the diverse wealth of Bedford. This is done with a grace and humour that spreads a little love to everyone around.

We look forward to growing and sharing this event annually.'
Sharon's energy and enthusiasm elevates and inspires everyone around her.

It's been 3 years since the Invisible Folk Club last convened in 'face to face' mode. We've all learned new skills since then, online recording certainly enabled us to carry on in the face of adversity.
It was great to be back with David Gunawardana, an old friend of Invisible Folk, and to welcome a new face in Sue Graves. It was just like the old days, sitting around chatting, drinking tea and playing songs.

'Grace Will Lead Me Home' is where Invisible Folk look at John Newton's life and work and what it means today. We create new arrangements of some of his Olney Hymns (including Amazing Grace), we learn about his life including his involvement in slavery and his later campaign to abolish the trade. We ask people what is the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade today and work with Angeline Morrison and Cohen Braithwaite Kilcoyne to make new music.
In the first of an occasional series Jon Bickley shares his Project Diary.

Experimental Scottish folk duo Burd Ellen are Debbie Armour and Gayle Brogan. They have carved out a sonically adventurous niche informed by a deep love and respect for traditional song. Combining drones, electronica and distinctive vocals, their sound is hypnotic, stark and uneasy.
We talk to singer Debbie (on the left in the photo) about tarot, the power of unaccompanied singing and ancient Scottish traditional songs. We feature music from Burd Ellen's recently released and highly acclaimed album 'A Tarot Of The Green Wood'

Avant-folk producer Fiona Soe Paing is a Scottish vocalist and sound artist. Combining multi-layered vocals with dark electronica, field recordings, archive material and traditional instruments, her music creates atmospheric and often unsettling songscapes.
Sand, Silt, Flint (released November 2022) is Fiona's second solo album, a re-imagining of folk tales and traditional ballads from North East Scotland. Sense of place is an important factor. Fiona has made the innovative step of linking each song to a specific location creating a virtual ‘Ballad Map' where the album is presented as a series of sound-walks via the Echoes phone app. The audio is triggered by GPS, enabling audiences to experience the music in the environments which provided it's inspiration.

John Palmer, Josephine Swinhoe & Paul Hutchinson talk about 'From Pub to Pulpit' a nationwide musical tour celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams.
John is project director, Jo is a singer with acapella folk group Broomdasher, Paul is accordionist with Coracle, a trio he recently formed with clarinettist Karen Wimhurst and multi-instrumentalist and singer Anna Tam.
The concerts have a unique format combining both folk and classical aspects. The music crosses the boundaries between the different genres of Vaughan Williams' music in a way that no other event will.
In each piece Broomdasher start by singing a folk song collected by Vaughan Williams. As the song ends Coracle begin to play musical variations on the melody. Finally the church congregation and choir sing the hymn Vaughan Williams wrote using the melody from the original folk song.
The show is touring UK cathedrals for the remainder of this year and into Summer 2023. Each performance will be different, as the host organist will add his or her own influence.
View future tour dates: https://www.broomdasher.com/frompubtopulpit/dates/
The musical arrangements, scores and tour brochure are also available free online, so that anyone, anywhere, can adapt them.

Singer/songwriter Keith Christmas rose to prominence with 3 excellent albums in the late 60s/early 70s. During this period he appeared at the first Glastonbury festival, worked with David Bowie on the 'Space Oddity' album and toured the UK and Europe as a solo artist or support act to many of the top names of the day. After the momentum faded Keith quit music as a career and turned to house renovation and school teaching. Then in 2016 after releasing 'Crazy Dancing Days' he reconnected with a generation well-versed in Michael Chapman, Roy Bailey and Ian A Anderson. The 'Life, Life' album in 2019 was even better, and Keith Christmas was unexpectedly back in town!

Welcome to the End of the World (One More Time) - from 'Crazy Dancing Days' 2016

Born in the USA but raised from an early age in Canada, alt-country singer-songwriter Suzie Ungerleider performed for many years under the name 'Oh Susanna.' Recent circumstances and introspection have caused her to leave that persona behind, hence the title of her most recent album 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider.' In our interview Suzie talks about the very personal and atmospheric songs as well as the reasons for reverting to her birth name. Featured songs:
Sleepy Little Sailor - remastered original demo version
Disappear - from 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider'
Summerbaby - from 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider'
Mount Royal - from 'My Name is Suzie Ungerleider'

Lunatraktors are Carli Jefferson and Clair Le Couteur. Influenced by flamenco, post-punk and trip hop, their 'broken folk' sound strips trad folk back to rhythm and voice. Combining Carli's percussive and choreographic talents with trans folk singer Clair's four octave vocal range and original compositions, they conjure up folk cabaret sounds and visions. The duo are friendly, energetic, talented, articulate and funny. We hear their perspective on traditional folk music, working with museums, performance art and the rigs of the times. There's never a dull moment.
Shortly before this podcast was launched a 2021 review of the year in Mojo magazine rated Lunatraktors' The Missing Star at No2 in their Folk album category. That was one place below the legend that is Peggy Seeger, and one place above the force of nature that is Rhiannon Giddens. What fabulous company to be in!
Lunatraktors music is available from: https://lunatraktors.bandcamp.com/

Anna Tam has a very personal take on traditional British songs. 'Anchoress' is an excellent debut album, Anna's strong soprano voice is self-accompanied by a variety of lesser-known stringed instruments such as nyckelharpa, viola da gamba and hurdy gurdy. Sparse yet atmospheric arrangements enhance the songs; while ensuring the stories and the people who lived them are to the fore. During lockdown in March 2020 she launched ‘Folk from the Boat’ on her YouTube Channel. She has brought weekly selections of songs, tunes and waterways adventures to a worldwide audience direct from the deck of her canal boat.
Songs in this podcast (all trad arr Anna Tam):
- Whittingham Fair (studio performance from Anchoress album - played on viola da gamba)
- The Unquiet Grave (live performance at Anchoress launch event April 2021 - played on nyckelharpa)
- The Ship in Distress (live performance on Folk from the Boat February 2021 - played on hurdy gurdy)
- Love Will Find Out the Way (live performance on Folk from the Boat June 2021 - played on nyckelharpa)
- Brigg Fair (exclusive performance for this podcast - played on piano)

Christina Alden and Alex Patterson are singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists. After 5 years as a part of a hard working acoustic trio with Noel Dashwood the pandemic brought things to a grinding halt. Like most people they found losing their work and sense of identity was hard to come to terms with. Under those extraordinary circumstances it felt natural to channel the energy of their personal and musical relationship into something that was uniquely theirs. The new-found time and space was used to develop new music and record a debut duo album. 'Hunter' was recorded during the lockdowns of 2020/21 at home in Norwich (England). Although living in the city centre they found the normally busy streets had that quietness we all experienced during lockdown. This atmosphere fed into the creative process and new material evolved, fragments of ideas in old notebooks were revived and completed, instruments that had lain untouched for ages were rediscovered and enhanced the experience. 'Hunter' has rightfully received much acclaim, the duo format is now firmly established, watch out for their gigs.
'Hunter' is available from https://christinaaldenandalexpatterson.com/

In October 1930 the British airship R101 crashed into a French hillside with significant loss of life, it was worldwide news. In Cardington where it was constructed it was a very local and very human story. 'Dream of Glory' is a two-act musical covering the days before the disaster and its aftermath. The story unfolds not only from the perspective of imperialist politicians, but also through the eyes of local factory workers who built the mighty vessel. They too had bought into the dream of glory. The production by Sharnbrook Mill Theatre was originally broadcast on 3 Counties Radio in 1994. The recording was digitised and restored by Invisible Folk Club Producer Steve Yarwood from recently discovered cassettes.
Look out for the second episode of this podcast where Mike Gibbons (musical director) and Roger Wiltshire (cast member) look back on this fondly remembered production 27 years later.

In October 1930 the British airship R101 crashed into a French hillside with significant loss of life, it was worldwide news. In Cardington where it was constructed it was a very local and very human story. 'Dream of Glory' a two-act musical from 1994 covering the days before and after the disaster was the first episode of our R101 podcast. This second episode recorded 27 years later is an interview with Mike Gibbons (musical director of Dream of Glory) and Roger Wiltshire (cast member) where they look back at the production by Sharnbrook Mill Theatre. The show ran from 16th-24th September 1994 and was then professionally recorded for broadcast on 3 Counties Radio later that year.

After graduating in May 1969 Jon Taplin moved to Woodstock (New York) and became The Band's tour manager. In August The Band played the Woodstock Festival, later the same month Jon managed Bob Dylan and The Band's appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival in England. It was Dylan's first full-length public concert in three years. While he was in England he met the Beatles and spent quality time with George Harrison. Indeed George asked him to help stage the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971. In 1972 at the request of Mick Jagger Jon commissioned Robert Frank to make the album cover for Exile on Main Street. Moving into film production in 1973 he worked with Martin Scorsese on Mean Streets and later The Last Waltz (1978). His new book 'The Magic Years' covers those events and much more. It is a candid and insightful memoir that chronicles collaborations with seminal artists.
We were delighted to be invited to interview a man who had breathed the same air as some of our musical heroes! Invisible Folk Club interviewer Jon Bickley does a great job.
We've also created a special Spotify playlist that covers Jon Taplin's 'Magic Years'

Rhiannon Crutchley is an acoustic musician performing under the name Brewer's Daughter. She has worked the festival scene both solo and as fiddle player with various bands. Her new album 'Jara' is the work of a confident focussed artist. It is a collection of gritty, passionate songs reflecting love, family, heritage, inequality and intolerance. All the conversation and some of the music on this session was recorded onboard the narrowboat 'Make Believe' that has been Rhiannon's home for the last 7 years while travelling around the inland waterways of the English east Midlands.
'Jara' is available from https://thebrewersdaughter.bandcamp.com/album/jara

Pippa has been playing folk music on a variety of stringed instruments since the age of 12. Although she has lived for many years in Columbia, Missouri (USA) she was born in England and grew up in Canada and Australia. Nowadays Pippa's main instrument is the fiddle which she first picked up aged 35, a relative latecomer. She writes old-time Celtic-style tunes and composes songs with friend Steve O’Dell. The tunes come at a prolific rate, indeed there are sufficient numbers to warrant an annual tunebook compilation called Compendium A-Z. Go to https://pippaletsky.com/tunebooks/ to order your copy.
Pippa is also a broadcaster with KOPN radio a community station run mainly by volunteers and on the airwaves since 1973. It has a worthy ethos to deliver independent news, diverse talk and music of the world. Pippa hosts 'Music of the World' (music from outside the borders of the USA) twice a month and 'World Woman' (women's music from outside the borders of the USA) every other Sunday.

It's catch up time. This Invisible Folk Club radio show went out live to four community stations across England.
Twelfth Night has been and gone. A Wassail song is unlike other Christmas music, it does not celebrate the nativity, it celebrates the New Year. 'Wassail' is an olde English word for a toast similar to 'Good Health'
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wand'ring
So fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.

Luke Tuchscherer is a singer/songwriter from Bedford (England). His introduction to the UK Americana scene came through the highly regarded alt-country band The Whybirds. Luke was the drummer but that didn't stop him writing and singing many of the songs. Post Whybirds he has firmly established himself as a solo artist releasing four albums since 2014. He is more than comfortable in rock, alt-country or solo acoustic.
