Episode 56 - Daddy what's a Euro?
This past week, with all of Ireland suffering under the yoke of a yellow snow warning (yuck!), the band gets back together and Andy brings us some extreme weather-themed folk songs. Meanwhile, Ed gives voice to the idea he had for what could be Stephen King's next great supernatural novel (complete with a killer twist at the end), but only if Stephen plays his cards right and cuts The Get Folked Podcast team in on the profits. Come see what all of this actually means in the latest episode of The Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode.

Episode 55 - Let's talk about sextants!
It's January. The Christmas tree is still up. Its lights blink on and off, each merry flash a taunting reminder of the Christmas that is no more. The only chocolates left in the house are Quality Street. The only biscuits are Butter Scottish Shortbread. You think to yourself, "If only someone would take down my decorations for me and distract me from the post-Christmas blues".Well, fear not. Andy and Ed have your back (not with the decorations, take them down yourself ya feckin' lazy-bones). With their voices now recovered from The Wren Hunt they will provide you with some oh-so soothing distraction as you re-emerge drowsy, cranky, possibly smelly from that annual festive gorging state. Welcome, dear listener, to the year 2025, to the future, and to the second year of The Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode.

Episode 54 - Nipple Tassels
This episode truly has it all: merry-making, singing, charitable giving, heartbreak, seduction, rejection, elation, and mind-controlling fungus. And making her second appearance on the show, Irene helps the guys recount their shared Wren Hunting escapades of St Stephen's Day 2024 which took place in Mitchelstown, County Cork. Like a shining beacon she led them as they and fellow musicians Steve (Cojon and Vocals) and Carol (Guitar and Vocals) raised money for the local Mitchelstown voluntary group "Special Friends". So settle in and enjoy the last episode of 2024.https://specialfriendsmitchelstown.ie/ This is a public episode.
