The Home Spun Show
Summary: Don’t touch that dial! We are an East London based weekly Podcast dedicated to finding and giving air time to the best music, be it old or new underground or overground, cool or unknown. We cross across styles with a hop, skip, and jump, but always focus on the unusual and on the unmissable. We believe that the music industry is letting people down by presenting pop music for kids as the best it has to offer. We are here to prove that there is an alternative. Forget the Ordinary, check out the extraordinary...

We are joined for an exclusive session this week by up-and-coming Soul band, The Remedy as they launched their new EP ahead of a hectic festival schedule. The Remedy provide a delicate balance of lyric, harmony and melody which form a great counterpoint to Chrissie's soaring voice. By turns intimate and poignant, her songs of love, family and personal experience transfixed us.
Prince Monolulu and the Royal Ponces join us this week for some hot Rhythm & Blues, Exotic Rumbas and Desperate Rock & Roll. It's all Killer Diller - no Filler here. We get the low down on the old days of Soho's roaring Night Life and get quite intoxicated in the process!
From Russia with Love, Mazaika construct a mosaic of outstanding Gypsy Jazz, Balkan and Russian Folk songs for your delectation. Igor Outkine and Sarah Harrison, internationally prodigies of the accordion and violin grace Home Spun Mansions this week and it's a feast for the ears.
From the heady rites of Santeria to the glitzy posturing of Catholicism, we love ritual, especially if it has a sexual edge. Whether it be blood sacrifice, ecstatic visions, frenzied dancing, or just cross-dressing Xango in Christian vestments, we check out weird and wonderful musical ritual and rite.
Like psychedelic adventurers from another dimension King Lagoon's Flying Swordfish Dance Band sail their way into our consciousness by catamaran. A golden bird with five wings whispers in their ear and they make sweet music according to its edicts. We listen and voyage with them to Xanadu.
Electro-Cumbia psychonaut, Capitol K explores the edges of Latin American pop music to create a new zeitgeist in transatlantic psychedelia. We trip out to his far-out sounds and dig the crates with him to find all manner of weird, trashy hybrids gone 'wrong', but Oh! SO Right.
Talented Northern Irish Singer Songwriter Seraphim Kelly tells stories of homelessness and life on the streets. We were really glad to catch him playing live and giving us the low-down on working for a homeless charity.
Sitar Diva, Shama Rahman joins us for the Home Spun Sessions this week. Shama explores jazz idioms and combines them with hints of Eastern mysticism and storytelling forms to great effect on her brand new album Fable:Time.
The boys don loin cloths for the evening as they dream of distant shores populated with nubile Amazonian vixens dolled up in leopard print.
Up and coming singer songwriter Amir Haider warms our winter cockles with his strongly original blend of whimsical Folk, Blues & Indian influences. The first Home Spun Sessions of 2014 is like a fine brandy slipping down your throat on … Continue reading →
We check out the awesome record collection of veteran Blues guitarist Jim Carlisle. He tells us how he got into collecting the Excello record label back in the early 60's in Belfast and plays us some of the best Rock & Roll, Blues and Rockabilly we've heard in some considerable time!
She Rocola brings her band, Lady & the Tramps along to the Home Spun Sessions for a knees up. Believe you me, these cats throw a rum party - I got to bed as the sun was rising and it was a Monday. MeaOw! My poor head...
Hot African night, the Afro Palace join us to promote their gig at the New Empowering Church this Friday featuring Yaaba Funk & Ebo Taylor (visiting from Ghana) and play us some super funky Afro beats for your delectation.
Fusing Cumbia and Secousse rhythms with hints of Arabia, the fantastic L'Orchestre du Montplaisant visit the Home Spun Show this week for our live sessions. These inspirational players create a melting pot of sultry and exotic sounds which inspire reveries of distant shores and faraway adventures.
What does it mean for an artist to be ahead of their time? We explore a few artists considered to have been ahead of their time from Robert Johnson to Blondie from the Modern Lovers to Digital Underground, Roland Kirk and beyond.
