In our first episode for series 2, Lucy and Pinky talk to Rachel and Becky Unthank, of (you guessed it!) The Unthanks!
They share with us the inspiration behind their long awaited new album Sorrows Away; their experiences of working with family; and we laugh together as they regale us with stories and celebrate the songs that feel like warm hugs!

In this, the first episode of 2022, Lucy and Pinky invite Scottish musicians Rachel Newton and Lauren MacColl to share news of their latest collaboration, "Heal and Harrow" - a multi-disciplinary show exploring Scottish witch trials.
 
Jennie Higgins also joins the show for a brand new segment exploring common misconceptions of folk traditions, through a feminist lens.  

On this episode of Thank Folk For Feminism, we chat to the one and only Maddy Prior and her super talented daughter and business partner, Rose Kemp.
We talk about their roots, their shared teaching hub Stones Barn, stepping into your own creative voice and Maddy and Rose reflect on growing up in the industry.

On this episode of Thank Folk For Feminism, we chat to the brilliant Sarah Claudine from the Safe Figs For Women initiative.
She talks with us about working with venues, promoters, artists and gig goers to fight against sexual assault and harassment at live music events. 
We also have our new segment brought to you by the wonderful Lucy Shields from The Folk Forecast, where she provides us with some incredible gigs to keep an eye out for, this month. 

As we return after our month off, we are delighted to be joined by accordionist, singer, clog dancer and all round wonderful human, Hannah James.
 
She talks to us about the English clog tradition, her experiences of working with different genders in bands and about a mysterious lake in Slovenia that has inspired her to create a whole show!
