I am lucky enough to be joined by the great Darren Hanlon in this episode. We chatted for ages and he ended up doing the old turn the tables on the host thing, and got me to talk about myself (some more). Unfortunately I couldn't include all of our chat but I might include a bit more of it in an upcoming episode.

Special thanks to Darren for taking the time to do this when he's just had a bub, and as I know well that means that Shelley would have been in charge of the kid while Daz was speaking to me so a big thanks to her as well.

In this week's episode I talk about a state of mind that is more conducive to writing songs than running, and singer-songwriter and DADGAD guitar extraordinaire Neil Adam joins me to talk about guitar playing, songwriting, family bands and being my step dad. 

Hope you enjoy.

After a week off it felt right to talk about other stuff, as well as track 6, Casuarina Tide. I am putting this out there in the hope that I will hear back from people with their thoughts and information, especially anything you think I should know about my area, as mentioned in the podcast.
