EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
As the old song puts it, "How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm, once they've seen Paree [Paris]?"

Today we meet with Mark Wilson, vegetable and mushroom grower from Portugal Cove, who was lured back to the land...

The Delights of Meetings09 Oct, 2019 | 1:00:00 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond

This week on "Routes & Branches & Beyond" I have more summer rambles with cosmic celtic banjos, re-imagined appalachian chestnuts, hoedowns for legendary fiddlers and bright Scottish swing about industrial wastelands. There are songs of indifference (and difference) about dashing fencing masters, small fish in tins, hard-living authors, old farmers not doing well, root vegetables and maggoty fish. New music...
