Workers day reawakens Andy's love of Techno as Zombie Nation inspires the next generation. Ed gets intimate at a David Gray concert, leaving patrons confused and concerned. The lads almost get their timing right and have a quick dive (the intention is deep dive) into one of the Dubliners more controversial yet successful songs. An episode high on ding doorum, but still need a little falromum. This is Get Folked! This is a public episode.

Episode 70 - The Conclave of Chaps
Andy's return to Berlin brings him face to ass with an entrepreneurial journeyman, whose choice of garb and means of income may or may not require explanation and/or payment and/or acceptance and/or respect and/or . . . . . . . ah screw it, we do our best, but we don't really know what the hell was going on in this situation. And as for Ed, "Sorry" seems to be the hardest word this week as he tries (and fails) to expand on last week's obsessive compulsion to dislike people based entirely on their headwear.Welcome back to The Get Folked Podcast.P.S.Check out the amazing music on our friend Ronan’s Bandcamp via the URL below. Ronan featured on last week’s show with one of the most memorable versions of “Whiskey in the Jar” in existance.

Episode 69 - Whisky dans la Jarre (it's French)
As Substack's new video publishing rules limit the guys to just one hour of weekly musings, they are left to immediately muse on whether less can ever in fact be more.It's all French songs and forced marches for Andy this week as he beams to us all directly from the comfort of the cosiest looking utility room this side of the Alpine mountain range. Regaling us with his tales of travels while perched atop a washing machine and pouring himself a glass of stout. Isn't he glorious!Meanwhile, Ed lets his bitchy side all hang out as he takes issue with the headwear of a bonified Irish folk music legend (meooow), and his annual attempts to not turn into a man-boob adorned slovenly slob results in an unexpected side effect; humble bragging (gasp).

Episode 68 - Shimmering Fright
A fresh approach to the podcast this week as Ed and Andy explore the nuance of language, perspective and love. From seductive spiders to nettles who just like to watch, a carefully curated walk through your back garden can reveal some of the most intimate and imaginative imagery to both delight and disgust. Each to their own! 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

Episode 67 - Watch Me Surge!
This week's episode is JAM-PACKED! (yes, the capital letters were necessary). Andy and Ed have collected music clips from Uygur Vural's latest "Solo Sessions" in Bavul where he was joined by Ceyhun Kaya and Deniz Mahir Kartal. They also have music from "LACRUSH", last week's Westward-Ho session, and even a new song from Hawkin' Twang.And, if that amount of musical talent is still not enough for you, perhaps Ed's contemplation (and overexcitement) about the latest scientific advances in the field of getting alcohol from a can into his mouth will pique your interest. Is there nothing humans cannot do?Artist URLs:- Uygur Vural Insta: https://www.instagram.com/uygurvural_cello_official/- Ceyhun Kaya Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ceyhunkaya_de/- Deniz Mahir Kartal Insta: https://www.instagram.com/denizmahirkartal/- LACRUSH Bandcamp: https://lacrushmusic.bandcamp.com/- LACRUSH Insta: https://www.instagram.com/lacrush___music/- Hawkin' Twang Insta: https://www.instagram.com/hawkintwang/- Westward Ho Insta: https://www.instagram.com/westwardho_barandgrill/ This is a public episode.
