So here’s the new bookmark for the Andy Roberts Podcast Live Show every Tuesday at 7.00pm :

http://www.livestream.com/andyroberts

The multiple interfaces for broadcasting are a little more complicated than I had been used to ( but anyway, Ustream made it more difficult recently) so I’m not up to speed yet and was definitely a little thrown out last night, but it won’t take too long to get the hang of it.

If you only ever listen to the downloaded podcasts in your own time then you shouldn’t notice any difference at all really, but you may like to try turning up to the live event once in a while, to see what it’s like. Apparently you don’t even need to register an account in order to join in the text chat there.

On the performance itself, you will find a medley of Beatles songs and one Lennon solo sandwiched between a couple of original songs.
Here’s the links and shownotes for podcast episode 16 then:

Andy Roberts Podcast Episode 16 Show Notes

1. Standing By – Andy Roberts original song
2. I feel Fine – Beatles
3. Every Little Thing – Beatles
4. Eleanor Rigby – Beatles
5. Working Class Hero – Lennon
6. Winter in Andalucia – Andy Roberts original

Starting off with the oldest Andy Roberts song in my repertoire, Hold On Below dates back to early songwriting attempts while I was still a young teenager coming straight home from school and learning to play guitar for several hours non stop every night – I was in hurry. There are two tunes on the Chinese lute, then a song which is intended to introduce you to another songwriter, Ruairidh Anderson who is in the midst of a 52 week project called Songs From The Howling Sea, and finally a song about a field.

Andy Roberts Podcast Episode 14 Show Notes

Show notes and information for Podcast Episode 14 broadcast on October 5th 2010, published on October 6th 2010.

1) Hold On Below

I found the original handwritten document for Hold On Below and it is in fact dated October 1973, which is a little bit later than thought but still the earliest one that has survived the years really, apart from one called “Living in Time Warp” which is dated 1937. According to my Andy Roberts Music blog, where there’s a record of songs performed, I played Hold On Below at Havering Folk Club on January 15, 2009 and for my first Ustream broadcast on August 4th 2009, but it’s not the best performance, so I’ll wait until this current one surfaces to embed the video.

Words and Music by Andy Roberts, from the album The Andy Roberts Tapes

2) Yangtse Gorges

Instrumental by Andy Roberts, from the album “Album 1”

3) The Truro Agricultural Show

A traditional song which was originally written to help advertise the Royal Cornwall Show on the date when it merged with the Bath and West to form a super show, and was held for the only time, near the city of Truro. Accompanied here by the Chinese Lute.

Attribution: Traditional, arrangement by Andy Roberts

4) Geneva’s Call

I’d like to do more of this kind of thing, playing songs by ordinary musicians, friends and podcasters. It then gives me the opportunity to use this website to link out to the wider online music community, and point out other podcasts that may be of interest to anybody who has taken the time to listen to some of my own stuff.

Geneva’s Call is a song by Ruairidh Anderson and is part of the Songs From The Howling Sea project, to record 52 songs in 52 weeks about the Old East End of London.

Hear the original here: 18b. Free Song – Geneva’s Call with further explanations at 18a. Infanticide And Slappy Bonita – A History Of Gin

Lyrics and Music by Ruairidh Anderson, interpretation by Andy Roberts

5) Back In The Field

Back in The Field was the first song I recorded on Garageband, with muti tracked vocals and two guitars. I should do some more of that from time to time, as well as keeping the podcast going.  You can download the Garageband version from Reverbnation or Last.fm or get the Sampler CD on which it features. This is also a repeat performance as far as the official podcast episodes are concerned, since Back In The Field opened the show for the first podcast Episode #1

Words and Music by Andy Roberts, from the albums Album 1 and Sampler CD

Of course without much tangible feedback, there’s no way of telling how many people actually listen, whether multiple listens to one download or some who collect files and never get around to listening at all, it’s all a bit of a mystery so all we have to go on for now are the numbers.

I’ve noticed that youTube are now allowing uploads more than 10 minutes long, which means that the version of The Same Old Rock which is on podcast 12 can be put up there, whereas before it would have been just a little to long to scrape in. So tonight for Episode 13 I think I may do two more longer songs, both my own.

See you on Ustream at 7.00pm  Tuesdays

If you have any suggestions for alternatives to Ustream, or ways to improve it then please come forth in the comments here.

Podcast Episode 7 Show Notes

Show notes and information for Podcast Episode 7 broadcast on August 17th, published on August 18th 2010.

All songs performed with the 12 string vintage Guild acoustic guitar except 06 on the Ibanez 6 string

Postcards from Scarborough – Michael Chapman

Postcards is probably Mike Chapman’s most frequently covered songs, and I enjoy playing it on the 12 string guitar, flat picking style.

The video below is from Havering Folk Club, January 2009 or possibly August 2008.

Shifting Sands – Andy Roberts

Here’s an old demo video of Shifting Sands which was the first song in a sequence which I now refer to as “the Spanish songs” or the album Gernika

Wild World – Cat Stevens Yusuf Islam

This is an old busking song which has some nice runs on the 12 string guitar.

The placeholder video is a six string version, which I’ll replace later.

The Last Nail – Andy Roberts

The Last Nail – info

I am The Way – Loudon Wainwright

From Attempted Moustache

The Loudon Wainwright Special was episode 4

Winter in Andalucia – Andy Roberts

Winter in Andalucia ( or Andalusia ) is one of the songs on my Sampler CD

I wonder if it might be good to have a simple index of which songs on each podcast somewhere, without the notes and videos etc. just for reference.
