Sonic Yarns Podcast

Music chat hosted by Ed, Will and Sam. Guests optional.

Never mind the podcast — hear the Sonic Yarns. Three friends talking a load of old balls about music: gigs, festivals, albums, debates that go nowhere, and the occasional distinguished guest.

Episode 5 – The Lost Episode

Thought to have been lost shortly after recording in autumn 2017, this episode was recently rediscovered from the Sonic Yarns archives. Ed, Will and Sam discuss recent gigs, Twelve Foot Ninja (with obligatory Australian accent impression), whether Bonobo truly spans the intergenerational gap, and Ed's reviews of the UK festival circuit.

Episode 4 – Special Guest: Danny

Ed's longtime friend Danny joins the shed for a bumper episode. Expect stories from New York gigs, coverage of the Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, and the usual sprawling musical tangents that make this podcast what it is.

Episode 3 – NYE OAPs and MP3s

The crew debate New Year's Eve traditions for the over-30s — Jools Holland, early nights, the works. Plus podcast recommendations, and the eternal streaming vs. CDs argument finally settles nothing.

Episode 2 – Husky and Dusky

Recorded from the newly relocated studio, episode two ranges across Massive Attack, Dusky, The Cat Empire, and the ever-polarising Cate Le Bon. More music chat, more digressions, zero regrets.
