August Rambles, # 1
23 Jul, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
I read somewhere that if you don't go rambling in August, then your ramble gene isn't working. I'm not sure of the origin of that saying. It could have been something I scribbled when I was preparing this show, so don't take it as received wisdom. That said, this week on Routes & Branches & Beyond we start a series...

Extended Families, # 420 Jul, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
OK, folks, this is your last chance for a family reunion for this season - at least on Routes & Branches & Beyond. On this, the fourth show of this theme, I have songs of cousins, uncles, aunts and families in all of their glory and complexity. I have heavy fiddle fusion, Greenwich Village 60s refugees, the Stradivarius of the...
Extended Families, # 320 Jul, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
What do Aunts and Cousins and Uncles have in common? Depending on your family, you may say "lots" or maybe "nothing." But they are all part of our show today on Routes & Branches & Beyond. Kin... the close friends we don't get to choose. I have nostalgic tunes for long-departed Aunts, itinerant mining Cousins, the bagpiping side of the...
Extended Families, # 213 Jul, 2022 | 0:59:59 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
It is summer, so we are deep into reunion season - and the sweet joys and awkward silences that such occasions can provide. So on this week's Routes & Branches & Beyond we have the second in a series on extended families. I have homemade plaster recipes, three different Auntie Marys (are they maybe related?), shepherd retirement schemes, Scottish street...
Extended Families, # 108 Jul, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Summer is a time for many things, and one of those is meeting up with extended family - at reunions, for example. Most family members come out of hiding, at some point, while the sun is shining and the days are long. So what better to do these days than to have a short series on families - with songs...
Heading to the Big Land to talk Food04 Jul, 2022 | 0:30:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Labrador. The Big Land. The 3rd word in the official title of this province, even though its territory constitutes over 70% of the land mass of said province. The name “Labrador” was bestowed by a Portuguese explorer, João Fernandes Lavrador. Lavrador in Portuguese means “farmer” or “labourer.” So it makes sense that on today’s show, we head to central Labrador,...
Relatively new to this world, # 701 Jul, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
As summer starts to ramp up, and just before we head out of the darkly-lit studio to embrace the sunlight, I take another look at some music that is relatively new to this world. We have hearts dancing to crisp guitars, sprightly accordion grannies, Scots trad stride piano, Western grit for old souls, good-time songs for folksong jamborees, classical guitars...
Relatively new to this world, # 626 Jun, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Every now and again, it is helpful to lift your head and see what has been going on around you. That is what we do today on Routes & Branches & Beyond - I play some music that is relatively new to this world. I have remote Scottish electronocelt, romantic (but unrealistic) odes to ploughboy laddies, unforgetful travel tunes, Canadian...
The Spring Rambles, # 516 Jun, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
As I record this episode of "Routes & Branches & Beyond," it is still spring. So I might as well try to slip one more set of rambles in before summer overtakes us. I have adrenalin-racing jazzgrass, guitar routes less travelled, fanciful cliffs, grievous angel laments, songwriters on mandolins, ethereal viola d'amores, waltzes that are almost certain French (or maybe...
Music from the happiest country in the world11 Jun, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
For today's show, we feature "Music from the Happiest Country on Earth." Yes, indeed, Finland has recently been announced as the happiest place to live once again, so let's find out if it is the music that makes them so joyous. Besides, I just got back from there, so I'm in the mood to explore more about Finnish culture. Polskas,...
Early folk-rock from the Netherlands01 Jun, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
This episode of "Routes & Branches & Beyond" we focus on some classic material from the 1970s and 1980s in the folk and folk-rock genre... from the Netherlands. I play bands with household names like Fungus, Dommelvolk, Perelaar, Folkcorn, Interweave and King's Galliard. And I top it off with a trio of more recent world-roots releases from the Netherlands, featuring...
Denmark26 May, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
This time on Routes & Branches and Beyond, we head to the land of cheese and bicycles - Denmark. I play a mix of Danish folk and roots based music, with lots of sonderhonings and hopsas, a bit of jazz and world music and ska and big band, and some Nordic noir heavy folk to raise the hairs on the...
The Spring Rambles, # 420 May, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
This week on "Routes & Branches & Beyond," our spring rambles continue apace, though not exactly in a straight line (much like the weather lately). I have Northern Peninsula doubles, Acadian voyageur chanteys, ditzy & zesty newgrass, Tuscan folk jazz, cursed wives of Connaught and the farmers who sing about them, traditional resurrection ballads, chamber roots quartets, silver-tongued quickgrass, Neil...
The Spring Rambles, # 315 May, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Today on "Routes & Branches & Beyond" we head out for another set of Spring Rambles! I have the blazing fiddles of youth, slip jigs for a Sunday morning, whistles of many notes, twangy alt-rock, fizzing mandolin virtuosity, funky blue reels you can throat sing along with, silky freight trains, unsquare dances in 7/4 time, folk happiness, rumba redemption, Hungarian...
The Spring Rambles, # 208 May, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
One of the delights of spring is to watch the various perennials around the garden spring back - from seemingly-lifeless bare stems, to small bits of green at the base, to gradually emerging once again. The trick is knowing whether this is a perennial that I will find a use for or not... In a somewhat similar way, looking over...
Look What I Found!01 May, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
I call this episode of Routes & Branches & Beyond "Look what I found!" In the occasional process of cleaning off shelves, and distributing papers on a table, here are some of the items I've uncovered. Kind of like modern archaeology. Come-from-away fiddles, bluegrass harmonicas, French versions of Dylan, resurrections of old classics, impossible guitar licks, even a bit of...
The Spring Rambles, # 120 Apr, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Depending on where you are, it may or may not look - or feel - quite like spring at the moment. But a quick check of the calendar, or a request of Siri, will tell you otherwise. So it's time to start a set of spring rambles. I'll have a blast from the first family of Cape Breton music, baroque...
At the Nourish and Develop Foundation, part 219 Apr, 2022 | 0:30:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Folktales are full of stories that include details about magical objects – wands, amulets, combs, stones, boots, dust, mirrors, special fabrics. So when I quote one of my guests today, you may think it sounds rather fanciful. But like the most enduring of folktales, there is lots of wisdom behind it. You’ll hear it in a moment, but she said...
Not Quite New to This World14 Apr, 2022 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Today on "Routes & Branches & Beyond" I have some new material and some not quite new music that I've got got around to purchasing - so it's new to me, and maybe it will be new to you as well. I have slides to honour the neuroses of of felines, Ukrainian-Canadian speed folk from NL, liminal threshold-straddling British stylings,...

EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
You know that look that people sometimes give you ... when you say something they find inscrutable? No? Well, you're lucky. I get it regularly, like when I say that today, on "Routes & Branches & Beyond," I'm featuring some new traditional music! Somehow, the combination of "new" and "traditional" gets stuck in their comprehension process. But trad that doesn't...
