In show 212 I talk about why I've returned to podcasting, and why I've been away for so long. Thanks go to all the doctors, nurses, professionals and volunteers, in the NHS and at St Richard's and Katherine House Hospices who have helped us, in what has been a very difficult time for the family. Featuring music : Megson with Rose On The Stem Wee Alex with This Is My Bliss Greg Cave with And We Couldn't Stop Smiling Nick Lines with Heavy Horses Also featuring stories Chas and Dave Size 14 Boots Click here to listen to : Brolly Show 212 |

Show 211 - Tue June 1st 2010 Presented by Jules Procter. This is a combined Brolly podcast and Radio Horton Show. Most of this show is devoted the telling of a chilling Banburyshire Tale, The Cursed Warehouse. I've had the opportunity to tell a shortened version of this at the Banbury Folk Club, and this is as close as it gets to being the full length tale. It's one of a number of Banburyshire stories which will be available on the banburyshire.net web site, as part of my attempt to become a story-teller. Featuring music : McCrory Brothers with No Turning Back Butterfly Catchers with Doin' Time Megson with Flood Water Click here to listen to : Brolly Show 211 |

Show 210 - Sat May 15th 2010 Presented by Jules Procter. Since the last show there's been a general election, with a very interesting result, the Banbury Beer Festival has taken place, with The Machine Breakers playing on the Thursday, and I've sung a couple of my own songs in public for the first time on over 20 years. Thankfully normality still occurs, as an audio piece recorded while walking Bob and Lucy over at Edge Hill, attests to. Also David Stevenson recently supported Liz Simcock at a gig over at Cambridge and Mark Pidgeon showed me how real song-writers work. Featuring music : David Stevenson with Compass Rose The Machine Breakers with The Land Was Stolen Mark Pidgeon with Demons Liz Simcock with Beachcomber Click here to listen to : Brolly Show 210 |

Show 209 - Sun April 11th 2010 Presented by Jules Procter. This is a combined Brolly podcast and Radio Horton Show. One of the things about being a dog-owner, is that you have to get out in all weathers, and in all seasons. The majority of the time this falls to my wife, but I always like to do my share where I can. Thankfully the countryside around Banbury is full of great walks, and I sometimes record a piece, if I've remembered to bring along my MP3 recorder. While I think we can say we've had some interesting weather in 2010, if you're wearing the right clothes and footwear it can still be great to get out in the elements. Featuring music : Carmina with Still Falls The Rain Wilber with Red Haired Boy Al Maslen with Warwick Road annA rydeR with A Child Like Me Click here to listen to : Brolly Show 209 |

Show 208 - Sun April 4th 2010 Presented by Jules Procter. The sad news has been that of the death of Vicki Williams, following a determined battle against cancer. Vicki and husband Trefor, have long been working hard to bring folk music to a wider audience across the UK, and have been great supporters of both the folk club and the festival. The bubbly enthusiasm of Vicki and the charm of Trefor came across when I first interviewed them at the 2003 Banbury Canalside Folk Festival. Vicki will be greatly missed, and my sympathy is with Trefor and his family. The next Song and Ale weekend will be taking place at the Drayton Leisure Golf Centre on the weekend of 9th to 11th April. A copy of the flyer is available here. Featuring music : The Odd Sods with Paddy Works on the Railway and The Mountain Road Trefor and Vicki Williams with Changing Light Jim McAdams with Roses and Almonds The Duncan McFarlane Band with Lord Franklin Click here to listen to : Brolly Show 208 |

Show 207 - Fri February 26th 2010 Presented by Jules Procter. This show consists of "Under a Green Sky", a Banburyshire Tale, abridged into five parts. Our largest challenge is to emphasise the important of timely action to prevent catastrophic changes to our environment. Copenhagen was a signal that politicians still haven't got the message. "after becoming a grandparent, these issues took up more of my considerations. But as a lifelong ecologist and technologist, I have always been hopeful for the future, while being mindful of the issues." Listen to the story, and spend some time reflecting on how you would like to see the world. Featuring music : Jon Fletcher with A Sailors Life, recorded live at the Port Mahon in Oxford. Tom Leary with The White Moon The Machine Breakers with There Was A Time Gren Bartley with Carry Her Safe American band, The Puddle Jumpers with Thoughts Little Johnny England with The Way Things Ought To Be Cave with After The Rain Vikki Clayton with Locks and Bolts and Neil J Gow and Wee Alex with Does Anyone Mind?
