Here at the Sketchy Folk Podcast, I will tell you all about artists, how they work, what they have struggled through, and how they managed to succeed. I have always felt that artists are put up on a pedestal of unattainability, and I feel that telling you about their stories helps them be seen more as regular people just like you and me – which hopefully will help more people to have the confidence to pursue their artistic dreams themselves! And if nothing else, it’s just plain fun. Have a listen, and enjoy!
