Customer Reviews
Learning experience
This Pod-cast is an eye opener, that’s an understatement, It’s Brain awakening.
Wide variety of traditions
I learned about this podcast from a performance Neil was in. I’ve listen to at least a dozen episodes so far. What a treasure! I discovered a lot of new people and a lot of new traditions. Plus it’s a good chance to know more about some of my favorite performers.
Insightful, Introspective, Incredible!
I love hearing about the variety of musical traditions Neil covers in his interviews! I’ve been a listener for several years and he really has a wonderful way of communicating with his guests. Many of these conversations have shaped the way I decided to forge my own musical path and are invaluable resources for any traditional musician wanting to enter the professional world.
