Music Podcasts

Invisible Folk Club core podcasts create an ambience somewhere between a folk club and a workshop. We want to entertain and educate through music and conversation. Egos are parked outside, everybody is treated the same. We do not record in a 'proper' studio, we simply set up the Zoom recorder in a terraced cottage in the heart of England and off we go. It is literally a cottage industry! We create a convivial atmosphere in which the musicians soon forget about the microphones. Then the spirit, talent, skill and enjoyment can shine through.

Louis de Bernières @ the Invisible Folk Club

11/24/2023
Everybody knows Louis de Bernières is a world famous novelist and poet, but we were intrigued to discover he had a lesser known talent as a singer and songwriter. His second solo album 'Delicate Lies' was due for release in October 2023 so we invited him to the Invisible Folk Club for a musical discussion. An interesting conversation ensued. Many thanks to musician David Edward Booth producer of 'Delicate Lies' for enabling this podcast to happen. We have featured 3 songs from 'Delicate Lies': 1 Mancunian Rain 2 The Snow 3 There Must Be More Than This? Purchase 'Delicate Lies' via https://www.louisdebernieresofficial.com/music.html Louis also has a dedicated Facebook page for his music. Go to https://www.facebook.com/LouisdeBernieresMusic
