Arran Arctic Podcast #5 – Open Mic Nights with Calum Carlyle

I’ve been wanting to talk about open mic nights since I started doing the Arran Arctic Podcast, and there’s no better person I could speak to than Calum Carlyle.

Calum has been active on the Edinburgh open mic scene for a long time, specifically Out Of The Bedroom, as well as writing, recording and performing his own material.

There’s an interesting and informative interview with Calum in this episode as well as more great music recorded live at one of the Out Of The Bedroom events!

Arran Arctic Podcast #4 – Busking with Stephen McLaren

It’s Podcast time once again. I promise one day soon I’ll complete an actual musical related project to post up here, but in the mean time…

…Since I started the podcast, I knew I definitely wanted to do an episode on busking. Edinburgh has a great range of buskers that perform all year round, filling the streets with beautiful music. One such busker is Stephen McLaren of Edinburgh based band Collar Up.

Stephen is full of great advice for first time buskers, but he’s also got some great tales to share from his busking career!

Arran Arctic Podcast #2 – Web Streaming & Pol Arida

The time has come for the second installment of the Arran Arctic Podcast.

If you missed the first, introductory episode, listen again here. Otherwise, dive into episode number 2, concerned with all things web streaming.

After my initial foray into web streaming and online gigs (read the blog post here), I report back on my experience and also interview the very talented, Edinburgh based artist Pol Arida who is definitely tooled up when it comes to streaming live content on the internet.
