  • Brilliant folky podcast

    Ian shares the songs that influence One Leg One Eye and Lankum and continues the work of past collectors. The deep dives into a song are fascinating but the mixtapes of whatever’s caught Ian’s attention are my favourites. Great scholarship, musicianship and chat, and a great listen.

  • Thanks Rory!

    Discovered this show today when listening to an old episode of The Slip on NTS and then listened to the Willie O’Winsbury bonus and immediately shared it with my brother, my dad, my best friend and anyone who made the mistake of letting me work it into the conversation. I’ve listened to three (!) episodes today alone and feel like a better person for it. Fortunately there’s a fair back catalogue for me catch up on.

  • A must listen for folk nerds

    This is a fantastic podcast. I thought I knew something about the ballad tradition, but I've learned so much more from listening to Fire Draw Near, including new versions of well-known ballads and some I’d never heard before. Ian Lynch has an astonishing breadth and depth of knowledge about the ballads and their transmission, both in and beyond Ireland. Do yourself a favour!
