CTP Session - Johnny Flynn

We bring you the first ever stand alone Crossthepond Session…why drown our artists in all our chat when sometimes you just want to hear from them. So here’s Johnny Flynn talking to CTP about providing context for an album and dying his hair while playing a couple of songs including penning The Wayne Rooney Song on the back of an envelope.

CTP24 - James Yuill

This podcast sees James Yuill in a fantastic acoustic session. Watch the videos on the right. We also confirm that Little Death actually have more than two members. Obviously we've stuck in some great music and there's some random stuff about a phone box.

CTP23 - Field Music and The Gorgeous Colours

Hear what happened when Padraic got into the back of a van with Field Music, and we've been told that a particularly light fingered fan out there is in need of answering for the whereabouts of a hat that once belonged to the Gorgeous Colours. All that chat is submerged and reclining in a deep and frothy bath of carefully chosen music.

CTP21 - Sunny Day Sets Fire

crossthepond — Sun, 24 Dec 2006 12:57:42 -0500

CTP21 - Sunny Day Sets Fire

Our Twenty-first show sees Ayden manning the ship alone. But, unsurprisingly, he does a damn good job of things, bringing one of his faves, Sunny Day Sets Fire, into the studio for a chat, and digging out a world exclusive acoustic version of Guillemots’ Sao Paolo from when Fyfe Dangerfield came in. Alongside all that there’s the usual collection of astoundingly listenable British music…Enjoy your Christmas turkey listening to something other than Cliff and Bing.

crossthepond — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 06:06:20 -0500

CTP20 - The Blood Arm, Foals, Rumblestrips, Dead Disco

In this our twentieth show, we have done something slightly different. Thomas and Padraic headed down to The Insomniacs Ball, a musical extravaganza with 3 stages, 17 bands and lots of dancing. As well as listening a lot, we chatted to Dead Disco about a search for vodka, Foals about Andy Roddick’s speed of serve, Rumble Strips about blue skittles and The Blood Arm about the death and resurrection of their guitarist...and a few of the revellers.

CTP19 - Guillemots' Fyfe Dangerfield

crossthepond — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 20:02:37 -0500

CTP19 - Fyfe Dangerfield

A while back we received an email from a listener who'd passed a few sick hours sleeping to the sound of our voices and was eager to be on the show. That keen listener was Fyfe Dangerfield of Guillemot fame, who is in the studio this week, to inform you about the best Indian restaurant in Stoke Newington, and more. He also plays an acoustic session, including an impressive rendition of If The World Ends.
