This is the free-for-all, sixty-minute version in which I dig out a rare Richard Thompson recording that will blow your socks off, and ask whether anyone ever played Springsteen better than Bruce (I have a candidate for your consideration). Lots more to entice and delight, but just wait until you hear…

This is the free-for-all, sixty-minute version. Among other jewels, you’ll hear part of my 1990 session recording with The Jolly Boys from Port Antonio, Jamaica – and I’m hoping you’ll want more. Founded in 1945, this mento combo may be the longest-lasting little band in the world - only the line-up has changed! Go to www.andykershaw.co.uk, chip in a few quid and become a patron to hear the full two hour version of this podcast.

One of the most exciting projects of the past year has been a song-celebration of notable North-east women. I’m thrilled to give you a kitchen session featuring Annie Ball with Katie Tertell, Bronwen Davies-Jones and Bronwen’s dad Gareth. With admirable economy ‘Howay The Lasses’ is the name of the group, the album and one of their songs.

Featuring a session I recorded in New Orleans in April 1988 with the truck-driving North Carolina country bluesman Moses Roscoe. There are tributes to Jeff Beck and Dave Crosby. And thanks to you I’ve got new shelves for all my vinyl, so I’m digging into it again.

We’re thrilled to bring you an exclusive kitchen session with Loudon Wainwright III. Currently touring the UK and Ireland, Loudon made a detour to Todmorden to give us half a dozen songs, including a couple that you won’t find on record. There are lots more treats, including a bluegrass version of a U2 anthem and a rare live recording of a classic banger by King Curtis.
