Thanks Rob! I get a lot out of doing these and I’m so glad you’re enjoying them

Hi everyone.

Part 2 is now live, featuring interviews with some great mandolin players who were inspired by Into the Cauldron, including:

- Daniel Patrick (Mandolins and Beer podcast)
- Jarrod...

Thanks everyone! I love getting to do these, they're a lot of fun

2023 is the 20th anniversary of the release of Mike Marshall and Chris Thile's 'Into the Cauldron'.

To mark the anniversary and celebrate the album, and the influence it's had on a whole...

What I do know is that Collings currently has one person working on mandolins, so that’s why output isn’t high at the moment.

I interviewed Steve Nall last year. Here’s the episode if you want a...

Hi,

I've been putting together a bluegrass podcast for the last couple of years and have just hit the 250 episodes mark. To celebrate I sat down with Sierra Hull before her show here in London...

Hi,

I don't generally talk about the podcast here, but there's a new episode I thought might be of interest to some of you (I generally only post them here if there's mandolin related content in...

The new Dan Tyminski EP is amazing.

Really cool hearing Dan play mandolin on a Skaggs/Rice duet with Billy Strings too!

Thanks for sharing the interview. That’s my podcast - Nully was incredibly generous with his time and it was a cool conversation to get to be part of!

It’s Old Joe Clark on the podcast this week - you can listen and jam along here

There's a great book on how to practice called The Laws of Brainjo. It's based on the science of how our brains learn, but it's also super readable (and doesn't just apply to banjo).

If you want...

I heard recently that shipping from the US to the UK has got a lot more expensive, in part due to the fact that there are fewer flights happening, therefore fewer planes to put freight on. I tried to...

Hi everyone. This week I've added four brand new episodes for Liberty at 75 bpm. Enjoy!

First tune of the year on the podcast is Beaumont Rag at 75 bpm - all 4 episodes are live now.

Happy new year!

Hi. I've got one final set of backing tracks this year - Salt Creek at 85 bpm

Next week I've got a special interview with Josh Turknett, author of a fantastic book on how your brain works and what...

Hi. I run a podcast called Bluegrass Jam Along. I normally keep updates about it to the 'Jams, workshops...' section of the forum to avoid spamming too much, but I thought this one might be of wider...

Ha! Definitely still in both last time I checked…

Might be worth adding something to the BBMA Facebook group too (if you haven't already). Might be some other UK players near Manchester. I'm no use to you sadly, all the way down in London :)

Hi everyone. The 100th episode of Bluegrass Jam Along, featuring a special interview with Bryan Sutton is now live on the podcast!

Hope you enjoy it! I’m lining up more interviews so if there’s...

I'm also starting to add interview episodes to the podcast. I'm recording the...

Hi everyone. We're stepping things up a little on the podcast this week and playing Cherokee Shuffle at 85bpm. I'm going to keep adding tunes at 75bpm too but will re-visit some of the ones we've...

Hi everyone.

I'm trying something different on the podcast this week.

It's based on something Bryan Sutton mentioned on the ArtistWorks course I'm on about stamina being the key thing for all...

Great, hope he’s got some left!

Having some form of feedback is important to me. As a guitarist I tried Peghead Nation for a while and Scott Nygaard is great - I particularly love his arrangements of the fiddle tunes. But, in my...
