    GREETINGS FROM MARGATE!Welcome to episode 19 of Buddy’s Buddies! This is part 2 of the ‘Margate Voices’ series, which is a collabo between myself and the Margate Mercury - and also, a new episode of Buddy’s Buddies which in itself, in current times, is a monumental occasion for all kinds of reasons, so there are many reasons to rejoice!Lucy, the editor of Margate Mercury had an idea of a way to combine forces, whereby the format of the podcast would be the same as always but the guests would be in a somewhat different vein to usual. In this case, as a follow up to the previous edition with Cyril, she connected me with Carla. Through Carla it was also possible to meet and chat to her mum Gloria, which was also a true treat.What follows is a really sweet chat between me, Carla and Gloria, which took place at Olby’s (massive thanks to Eli & the gang there who, as always, managed to make a perfectly safe and secure scenario in which to get things done) late in August. Gloria is from Trinidad and came to the UK in the 60s, and I feel like there’s a podcast series in itself waiting to happen with that whole story - we barely even scratched the surface there but I hope we get to meet up again and go further into it all. Carla was also excellent, and it was really fascinating to hear how she’s been getting on over the past half a year through the chaos as someone in the education system. We also touched on the Black Lives Matter movement and events through 2020 to hear their unique perspectives on it all, and covered a good amount of ground between us all! No spoilers as I just want you to hear the whole thing and just take an hour or two away from where you are now to get lost in a lovely chat with two engaging, sweet and truly fascinating guests. I really do wanna get the back for round 2 - we’ve only just begun! Please enjoy Carla and Gloria, Thanet’s finest!EPISODE REFERENCES:MARGATE SEA BATHING HOSPITAL • ROCK CHOIR • GEORGE CLINTON • DREAMLAND • TRINIDAD • MARGATE PRINTWORKS • RAMSGATE OPERATIC SOCIETY • STEPPING OUTBUDDY'S LINKS:BUDDY PEACE PATREON!BUDDY PEACE on INSTAGRAM!BUDDY PEACE on THE INTERNET!BUDDY PEACE on BANDCAMP!MARGATE MERCURY!Recording • Production • Mix • Edit • Music • Artwork • Writings – Buddy...

    GREETINGS FROM MARGATE!

    Greetings to you wherever you are right now, at this current moment in time and, well, history.

    I trust you’re doing as good as can be expected - salutes to you, and huge love in abundance. I know this sounds like a vague catch-all thing to say but I mean it. I hope you’re doing alright.

    This episode is a bit different. It’s a solo episode, but in many ways, I’m merely setting the stage for YOU to be the guest. Here’s the plan… So in Margate (and Thanet on the whole), there has been a real sense of amazing community spirit in this unprecedented time. I feel like we haven’t been through something like this and we don’t know the parameters, but within that chaos, there are some incredible examples of kindness and community assistance, fuelled by thoughtful and considerate acts which have really made me smile.

    What I want to do with THIS episode then, is hear from YOU. If you are a business in Thanet, record a voice memo and email it to me at:


    buddysbuddies@protonmail.com


    Let me know who you are, what you might be doing and how it all works, and if you’re feeling up for it, how YOU’RE doing / coping / any recommendations, whatever you like.

    BUT - this is also open to anyone who wants to chime in. Please do. I really want you to. Let’s treat this like an audio diary. Maybe even therapy? I don’t know. But I do know that in a time of isolation and distancing, we gotta connect and let each other know where we’re at.

    If possible, if you can keep it to like 3-5 minutes or so that’d be mad helpful. I’ll be editing so don’t worry if you don’t get it spot on - just get it done and sent! Leave the rest to me.

    We’ll see what happens. But please do it. I’m so excited to see and hear the results. I’ll assemble them soon as I can and soon as I have a good amount, as I know that in terms of businesses and shops, the situation might change so I’ll do my best.


    Alright. Stay safe as you can. Drink water. Take time to think about other stuff. Thank you so much folks, I really hope we can get this voice memo thing to work out! Bigups and salutes X

    GREETINGS FROM MARGATE!

    Welcome to episode 15 of Buddy’s Buddies! A VERY special edition at that - this is part 1 of the ‘Margate Voices’ series, which is a collabo between myself and the Margate Mercury!

    Lucy, the editor of Margate Mercury had an idea of a way to combine forces, whereby the format of the podcast would be the same as always but the guests would be in a somewhat different vein to usual. In this case, she had an idea of connecting me with this guy called Cyril - she gave me a few key details which sounded so fascinating, and we had a brief meet to see about fixing a time to record, and BOOM - the rest was mine, and now YOURS to find out!


    So what follows is a lovely chat which I was lucky to be a part of, detailing Cyril’s crazy journey from his life in Zambia (living in a town called ‘Broken Hill’ aka Kabwe), to his mechanic leanings and then to his journey to Margate, on a flight with a few quid in his pocket… The rest is yours to uncover, and I don’t want to give you all the details because it’s so much more rewarding to find out for yourself now isn’t it?! I really hope you like it - Cyril’s a lovely fellow and his cups of tea are immaculate, take it from me. I’ll get a few links up here too to give you some more points of reference. In the meantime though, please take some time to hear from Mister Cyril Wilfred Wilson!


    SEMI SPOILER THOUGH - this episode is released, somewhat co-incidentally, on the 4th anniversary of his liver transplant to the day. It felt significant. X

    GREETINGS FROM MARGATE!Welcome to episode 14 of Buddy’s Buddies!Enough about that - how are YOU? No, really? And how much? You are KIDDING. Well I must say I’m lost for words. I didn’t expect that. I mean I’d better get on with this episode but we’ll get back to this okay?Bless your heart for checking in folks, it’s a true pleasure to find you here. Much obliged. You are for SURE going to adore this one and I’m so excited to be able to present it to you, as it’s someone who I’ve been a legit card-carrying fan of since way back in the 00’s. If you haven’t caught him on record or in person at a show, you’ve surely heard his works on the big and marginally smaller screens - ladies and gentlemen, please be loud in welcoming ADEM ILHAN to the episode!You may know him as Adem of course, and I’m sure more than a few of you will be fortunate enough to have some of his music in your collections (digital or physical), and ALSO you might be familiar with his earlier work in a band called Fridge (alongside Kieran aka Four Tet and Sam). If more bells need to be rang, perhaps you’ve seen the films ‘Yesterday’ or ‘In The Loop’, or partaken in the very awesome HBO series ‘Avenue 5’. If not, my friends, may I insist you avail yourself of some of the above at your nearest convenience! At any rate - familiar or not - it was a true honour to join Adem for a chunk of time in the homestead to get in deep on the subject of songwriting and lyrics, band days, production perspective, scoring for screen, Margate life (sorry, MARG8 LYF), breakthroughs, shaking everything up and the broader subject of “hopeful melancholy”. So much to be enjoyed here and certainly a perfect intro to a beautiful musician and truly lovely human. Please, share and love!ADEM SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE!(originals of his covers album and the Social Singing Choir EP, and more!)ANOTHER COMPREHENSIVE ADEM SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!EPISODE LINKS:ADEM on TWITTER!ADEM on THE INTERNET!YESTERDAY!AVENUE 5!IN THE LOOP!REFERENCES:LANGLEY SCHOOLS MUSIC PROJECT • TENORI-ON • THE ANGEL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON • VASHTI BUNYAN - From Here To Before excerpt • ITCHY TEETHBUDDY'S LINKS:MARGATE MERCURY!

    GREETINGS FROM MARGATE!

    Welcome to episode 13 of Buddy’s Buddies!

    I know you well enough by now to trust that ALL IS WELL. Let us BEGIN…

    Thank you ever so kindly for checking in with ya boy for episode 13! What a pleasure to have you here for a true smash of an episode! My guest this time round is someone who, even if you don’t know him by face, for sure you will know him by the trail of amazing signs painted in Margate! Of course - this is assuming you’ve visited these fair streets and inhabited the town’s various establishments, but there’s no reason why you wouldn’t have seen his Instagram profile, so it is possible that even non-Margate folks will know what time it is…


    ALL THIS BEING SAID! It’s always a great treat to have a conversation with someone who really know the ins and outs of their craft, from history to present, and I really got a buzz out of finding out more about the techniques and processes which often go unseen and unfortunately unnoticed. Well it’s time to redress the balance and give the artist some shine! Expect to hear all manner of goodness from how to manage peak and off-peak times, his debut up a ladder, fitches and pounces, history local and not so much so, wabi sabi, just everything yo! Listen and enjoy - it’s proper fascinating stuff. Follow him post-haste!
