    140: Celtic Pink Floyd

    14/03/2026 | 1h 24 mins.
    Celtic Pink Floyd is a project that's been around for going on two decades now and a lot of very talented musicians have been involved from the beginning. Throughout all iterations, performances, and albums: brothers Damon & Brian Stout have been at the core and Patrick D'Arcy has been sprinkling traditional flavors over every arrangement.
    The brothers & Pat join me on the show to talk about the CPF project in general, about the next, "stripped-down," iteration of the group, and to share with us a brand new track from the group, putting their own spin on the Duran Duran classic: Winter Marches On.
    Tune into this episode to count all the Floyd puns we caught, and to see how many missed potential puns you can spot!

    Rerun: Jeff Mann

    29/01/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    Just wanted to do a little re-upload in case anyone missing Jeff would enjoy hearing his interview from back in episode 077 (March, 2023).

    *Skipping ahead to the 1-minute mark will get you past the old opening "ad" from when this interview was first published.

    Jeff also played on a couple tracks for the charity album we did a bit ago, it's lovely to listen to him making music: https://droningon.bandcamp.com/album/pipes-for-peace

    139: A Whistle Wonderland with Cedar Dobson

    20/12/2025 | 1h 12 mins.
    Cedar Dobson returns to the Droning On podcast to talk through, and hear samples from, her excellent holiday album, "A Whistle Wonderland". Cedar's done some very cool, "tradifying," of familiar holiday melodies with plenty of her own signature Cedarisms.
    Tune into this episode to hear lots of wintertide standards done in a not-so-standard way!
    And congrats to Carol (of the Bells?) for winning the D.O.P.E. giveaway! A copy of the album will be headed your way shortly.
