S16E08 - Organically Minded

Organically Minded Isn’t it refreshing to sometimes to step back from the hectic pace of the world, and appreciate the gentler, simpler and more honest skills and pleasures of life and art? Well this week Drew and Sam have a guest who epitomises just that! Alastair J Braidwood is the latest fantastic visitor dropping in to Drewling Samantics, and he is a gentleman of wide and varied skills and experience. He primarily plies his trade as a performer and musician, but those are just two of his eclectic range of attributes. With a love of historic pastoral music, and skills developed to reflect this, he writes and produces music and productions that embrace all the worlds he is most passionate about - keeping traditional music alive, and taking it to new audiences whilst playing an amazing array of instruments to boot! Alistair has played a range of characters from Captain Hook to Santa Claus, and relishes the joy these recognisable and much-loved roles bring to those who experience him performing as them. And his understated talent and appreciation of the past allows him to formulate, actualise and embody new characters, as well as reimagining already established figures. All this together makes him an undoubtedly unique and entertaining guest, who brings some fascinating facts and a ready wit to everybody’s favourite podcast - it’s not to be missed!
