TalkingAlbums: Exploring connections between                               people and their music.

Phil & Alistair

Talking Albums features Alasdair Dempster and Phil Parnham talking with guests, for whom music is an important part of their lives, about an album that is special to them.

 

Each podcast mixes conversation with listening to music from the chosen album - learning a little about the music and the artists, but also importantly exploring the personal relationship that the guest has with the music.

​

We want them to be podcasts to celebrate, appreciate music and the people who listen to it.

 

We hope you enjoy them ... and would love to hear any comments or suggestions for future guests.  Please write to worldcelt@gmail.com

​

Special thanks to Thomas Lebioda at Labelship Studios for the recordings and technical expertise.  And our thanks to TalkingGigs for hosting this page on the website

 

Best wishes from Alasdair and Phil
