 Podcast #50 – Haverfolk 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00:01

This is the second in a series of podcasts put together from the audio  backup recordings made during the Andy Roberts night at Haverfolk on January 25th 2012. Weeks have passed since then and this is a relatively quick and easy way for me to get the stuff processed and out there. There do exist some better quality recordings but these will have to wait for the DVD, which is supposed to be ready in time for the next gig at Loughton Folk Club coming up soon on April 19th 2012.

 Podcast #49 – Haverfolk 1 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 29:30:00

I’ve decided to do something with the audio file I brought back from Haverfolk, in advance of all the youTube videos being processed and uploaded. So it’s going out as a further series of podcasts, starting with podcast #49 which is the first few songs from January 25th at Havering Folk Club Andy Roberts evening. It’s a lo fi recording, so just imagine it’s 1967 all over again and you are thrilled to bits to be the proud owner of  transistor radio AM band portable set with a fading clutch of cardboard batteries.

 Podcast #48 – Opening Night at Haverfolk | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:23:29

Andy Roberts Podcast episode #48 features six songs performed live at the opening night of the new renamed “Haverfolk” club at the new venue, the White Horse on London Road, Chadwell Heath.  Full address is The White Horse, 118 High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Greater London  RM6 6NU I quite like The Stables Function Suite as a room, the acoustics are bright and loud unlike the previous venue The Moby Dick, which deadened everything. It could be a bit on the friendly and intimate (small) side if everybody turned up at once, but that’s better than shrinking the audience through having an unsympathetic atmosphere, which the White Horse doen’t by any means. So Wednesday August 24st signified the first night for the old Havering Folk Club – Now Haverfolk at the White Horse, at which I can arrive promptly by taking the train to Chadwell Heath station and then walking around the corner for about ten minutes. No need to take an additional bus, which makes it less hassle to get from as well of course. Being August, several of the regulars were away including a contingent visiting the Whitby Folk Week, so there was enough time to do two sets, and I was invited to perform an extended 2nd set to end the evening, which is how I come to have enough material to make into a podcast episode, a collection of six songs in total, four of which are self compositions and two are traditional.

 Google+ Hangout for Podcast #47 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:28:49

For this week’s podcast I wanted to experiment with using Google+ , a new(ish) social networking site which has a feature they call “hangout” for bringing groups of people together by video link. It’s kind of like a group video call with a text chat, so superficially not that disimilar really to the ustream and livestream systems that I’ve been using for the weekly Tuesday night broadcasts up until about April this year. Do you need a Google+ invitation? Click here The Google+ service as a whole is getting a lot of attention even though it only launched to the public this month, and even though the circles metaphor can be a bit cumbersome, there’s a tendency towards fuller conversations and better discovery that makes it interesting for musicians, I think. But all that could change as the new platform develops, we’ll have to see. What intrigues me though, is the way that Google is integrating many of their popular services together, and Google of course is behind youTube. I’ve been waiting for youTube “Live” to open up but for the time being that seems to be open only to a few international TV stations. There is some confusing talk about youTube live being available on Google+ hangouts but thsi always turns out to be about taking the existing youTube live streams and relaying them into a Hangout, rather than using the Hangout to generate a new livestream that can be relayed out into youTube live, and saved as youTube videos in a channel, which the direction I’m probably looking for. Google+ Hangout So we planned to try out the ‘Hangout’ feature within Google+, this Sunday afternoon just gone at 3.00pm, and the result has been incorporated into this Andy Roberts podcast episode #47. Google+ Hanging out If you wanted to take part in future Google+ events with me, or just listen in as it happens, then you would need to activate a Google+ Profile if you don’t already have one, and add me to a circle. Again, if  you need a Google+ invitation you can get one  here Sunday Afternoons, 3.00pm Oh yes, and the other thing that’s changed is that we’ve moved to Sunday afternoons for the regular weekly spot, at 3.00pm UK time, which is currently GMT+1 with daylight saving. That’s 10pm in Beijing. The Sunday afternoon 3.00pm time slot will continue throughout the month of August.   Podcast 47 Here’s the download and play link etc: Subscribe to the podcast RSS or get it from iTunes Download MP3 to save – 39.69 Mb in size, playtime 28 minutes 49 seconds :- 47 Andy Roberts Podcast Episode 47.mp3 Andy Roberts Podcast #47 Shownotes Show Notes for Podcast 47 Mondura Dam Work is Done Shifting Sands Hesitation Blues (trad?)

 From the Theatre Bar – Theatre Royal Stratford, Podcast #46 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:30:00

It was around the first week of May on a Sunday evening when Gemma Salter and Stephen Lloyd held another of their excellent “Royal Knees Up” cabaret evenings at the Theatre Royal bar in Stratford. I had been immobilised for weeks beforehand but reckoned I could make it along by getting a minicab there and then just taking it as it comes. I’d signed up through the Facebook group and arranged with Gemma to do a couple of my acoustic Captain Beefheart covers, but when we arrived I was asked to do a longer set than that, as the theme for the evening was going to be acoustic / folky anyway. By Cabaret, it means there are some standup comedy acts on the bill as well, and sometimes weird and wacky stuff. I’ve seen musicians playing to the theatre bar crowd when I’ve been out to see a show at the Theatre Royal – “Reasons to be Cheerful”, “Takeaway”, “Come Dancing” and others, and I must admit to being intrigued by the prospect of playing on that little stage in the corner of the not insubstantial theatre bar area now, with the exterior terrace and carribean food. Theatre Royal Bar Stage My allocated time slot was to be either side of the break, so that meant two or three songs, then the break, then come back on and do a few more if I like. A cool way to organise proceeding, I thought fetching a bottle of Becks and choosing a seat with a table and a good view of the stage, so Linda could preserve my set on video with a view to putting it on the podcast later.

Of course things always sound different when there are lots of bodies in a room, to when it is empty and you can never be sure how much noise they are going to make themselves, but Gemma was at the back of the room operating a mixing desk so I could be confident that what was going out through the PA into the room would be at the right levels. So the source for this podcast’s songs comes from Linda’s stills/video camera which does record in pretty good quality stereo sound in theory, but seated as we were amongst a large group at the tables, it does pick up a lot of background noise which is a little unfortunate and gives a slightly false impression of how the audience behaved on the night. If we’d sat right next to the speakers though, we might not have obtained a good line of sight for the video on youTube, so you can’t have everything. Well, you can but need an external directional microphone of access to the PA soundboard, or a team of engineers…. I played mostly my own songs again, having recently done a whole evening of self-penned material and iIn the event, I only did one Captain Beefheart song, Grow Fins. That went down well so I added in “The Last Subway Home” which can have a similar feel form a performers point of view. Gemma and Steve are busy starring in 188 , the Jack The Ripper musical in the West End at present so there may not be a Knees Up this month, or last due to rehearsals, but when they do resume it’s a fun evening in Stratford and with free entrance too. As for my own podcasts, well I’ve taken a bit of a break due to several factors but I’m hoping to resume the regular webcasts soon, either on Bambuser or Google+ Hangouts, which would be very experimental. If you need a Google+ invitation just let me know your email address by one means or another and I’ll send one over and if you’re already on Plus then please circle me at +Andy Roberts Don[...]
