Thanks for listening to the fourth in our collection of special Deepdale Festival Podcasts in 2024. Jason is your host for this series.

In this episode Jason chats with Hawksley Workman from Canada, who performs on Sunday, Christina Alden & Alex Patterson from Norwich, who perform on Friday, and Christian Smith from Cambridgeshire, who performs on Saturday with his band The Heretics.

Hawksley chats about his love of touring, his wingman Mr Lonely on piano, and how Canadians look at the UK for inspiration and adulation.

Christina & Alex chat about how their music writing happens, particularly interesting to know how a couple who are also relatively new parents navigate the process.

Christian chats about how The Heretics came into being, and the way his musical journey has changed direction with addition of the band and three fellow collaborators.

Thank you to all of them for allowing us to play a sample of their music. From Hawksley Workman we play Battlefords, from Christina Alden & Alex Patterson we play Safe Travels (thinking of all of you travelling to Deepdale for the Festival), and from Christian Smith & The Heretics we play Revelry.

Enjoy this episode, and look out for future episodes which we’ll release shortly.
