Welcome to Songs in the Key Of… - a podcast about songs.
For this episode, I set up the microphone in our living room to have a chat with Rachel about the music she's been listening to and loving lately. It's a busy time for Rachel as The Ashen Keys, the band she's in, are days away from releasing their debut - and rather beautiful - album, The Name on Your Compass.
Obviously we talk about that - and feature a play of the single 'Capricious' which is taken from the album.
If you like what you hear, head over to Spotify where you can hear the songs Rachel has chosen in full on a special playlist created to accompany this episode.
You can find out more about The Ashen Keys on their Facebook page.

If you like what you hear on this podcast - and you surely will - make sure you go to Bandcamp to get your mits on the album when it comes out on 29 June 2024.

Steven Keevil is one half of the dynamic duo behind Local Authority, a news website for residents of Medway, and Medway-ish – which sells Medway related gift, designs and – among other things – my book, Do It Yourself: a History of Music in Medway. There’ll be more on that during the interview.
This episode would have been called “Songs in the Key of Steven Keevil, were it not for the fact that it quickly emerged that all of his song choices were taken from soundtracks to films. And so, having already done two episodes of this podcast based on tunes from the movies, it seemed only sensible to name this episode Songs in the Key of Cinema – Part III.

Welcome to Songs in the Key of... - a podcast about songs.
On this episode I have another guest in the form of the splendidly affable Ian Petrie who will be familiar to anyone who’s wandered into a folk club in the South East of England – or a folk festival further afield. He’s one of those people with whom it’s an absolute pleasure to spend time as he has a story for every occasion. He’s a gentle soul with a wonderful wry sense of humour and an excellent way with words.
Don't forget. Once you've listened to this episode, you can head over to Spotify to hear all of Ian's song choices in full on the playlist that accompanies this episode. Just look for "Songs in the Key of...Ian Petrie".

This is a big one.
Back in 2015, my book, Do It Yourself: a History of Music in Medway was published.
It covered the story of bands and artists who emerged in the area from 1976 through to what was then the present day.
This episode of "Songs in the Key of..." features extensive readings from the book with tales from Billy Childish (with reference to The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats), Graham Day (The Prisoners), Lupen Crook, Bob Collins (The Dentists), David Read (The Claim) and many others.
Time is running out if you want to buy your own copy of the book. You have until 30 June 2023 when the presses will stop running on it!

When merry lads are playing..

On 2 January 2022, Chris Broderick, who had entertained, amused and provoked with his writing of all disciplines, passed away. Over the course of his life he’d amassed a large collection of songs, stories and plays, all filled with his on unique linguistic flair and his sheer love of humanity in al its warts and all glory.
Towards the end of his life, he entered a flurry of creative activity, not realising he would not be able to see the completion of these final projects. This interview with his collaborator, Stuart Turner, explores the final musical adventures of Chris Broderick.
This podcast is also available as a video on the Reviewage Youtube channel.

Once you've finished listening to this, make sure you head over to Spotify to hear all the songs in their glorious and most complete fullness.
