Ed and Andy mark this moment in history, as two middle aged Dads in the prime of their careers choose to do, by complaining. The world is moving too fast, discos are too loud and I’m pretty sure the neighbour nicked me garden hose.Apologies for delayed release - that’s so Get Folked! This is a public episode.

Episode 99 - Oh Baby
From deep inside the velvet curtain, comes a tale exterior. Deceptive confusion?One seeks to hide...Nay!! Highlight!.. man’s deepest understanding of which all have but, few set free.

Episode 98 - Over Egging
This week sees both Andy and Ed out and about like the social butterflies that they are. They found music, they found cocktails, they found interesting social questions: When should one offer one’s advice? Why has Brexit had such an effect on the supply of Guinness 0.0% to Berlin? What is a “Bay Window”? Are the answers to these questions contained within this episode? Not really, but don’t let that put you off. Join us for another episode of The Get Folked Podcast.

Episode 97 - A Musical Odyssey
This week Andy (it is Andy, right?) guides us through his musical wanderings of the past few days in Berlin. He saw and heard a talented person perform dressed as an Orca. He saw regular folk music singers play regular folk music songs. He saw drummers who had never drummed before and who somehow managed to be awesome at it. He saw dogs wanting to be in bands and people barking like dogs. He even found time to perform on stage himself and got complemented by a member of The Murder Capital. Wow!And Ed . . . . , well Ed had a quiet week. Welcome to The Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode.

Episode 96 - The Blasphemous Oxter
There’s no getting around it. The second take of this week’s episode evokes imagery of a straight-up lustful nature. I don’t think Andy and Ed have quite achieved “smut” status, but between the silk tights and water-filled sex dolls (that’s warm water, just in case you’re wondering), the guys have definitely wandered into “taboo” territory. But, as usual, these delicate subject matters are handled with the greatest of respect and in the sombre tones which can only be borne by the well-informed. Trust me dear listener, you will depart this week’s episode entertained, enlightened, and if you have the predilections of a middle-aged man living in the highlands during the 1950s, possibly aroused. I give you The Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit getfolked.substack.com
Get Folked is a long-format, comfort-noise podcast anchored to casual discussions around folk music with enough slack on the chain to allow the conversation to drift into the uncertain waters of parenting, mid-life career choices, living in a foreign country, returning home, whiskey sampling, and entertainment.
Join us as we explore the subjects of Irish and international culture, artists, live music sessions, song lyrics, and song-writing. getfolked.substack.com
