In this show we will introduce the listener to a whole bunch of TV show themes from the 60s, 70s and 80s from Great Britain, the U.S.A., Canada and New Zealand. Each one was chosen based on it's song writing merits and overall memorableness. During the guest segment, we will be joined by a band calling themselves KROTLA (Knight Raiders of the Lost Alf)who will introduce us to their own cover versions of familiar TV and movie themes.

This show will explore folk music in other languages focusing particularly on Europe. Our live guests will be the amazing "Die Wandervögel" whose harmonic arrangements of old Yiddish and Germanic folk songs are breathtakingly beautiful and I can highly recommend tuning in to hear them.

The Vintage Underground 8 (The Old Hickory Broom: Echoes of Americana) by The Vintage Underground on Mixcloud
 

In this episode (number 8 already), we'll take a little dip into the waters of various forms of country and blues and dig up some totally obscure artists alongside those who are perhaps a little better known. The guest spot will be filled by an enormous talent called Critical Jim who will lull you all into sweet delirium with a smokey voice and some great picking (accompanied in part by myself and previous guest, Markus Brandstetter).

Seeing as we haven't much been covering the traditional aspect of folk since the first show, we thought it might be high time to do so now. Expect lots of obscure records by some incredible artists complete with some background info and history. In the second part of the show, we will be joined by Irish and Austrian duo Peter, Paul and Barry (really, they are a duo) for some fantastic Irish and American music and they will join me for a song to see the show out.
