3 Radio Sessions featuring Ewan McLennan
Analogue FM>Philips Tuner FT565>SD>PC>Soundforge>Wave Editor (splits)>TLH>Flac (6)>Foobar
All 3 sessions were interspersed with other music so I have attempted to edit as seamlessly as possible. I have also added 5 seconds of silence at the start of tracks 8 and 15 to separate the Radio sessions.There is quite a lot of repetition but I wanted to capture all the Radio sessions.In the final session Ewan is joined on Slide Guitar by Sid Goldsmith.
I have labelled as Folk (Scottish Folk using FooBar)but Ewan is rapidly developing his own songwriting skills so it could just as easily be Singer/Songwriter.
NOTE: In the World on 3 session for track 20 I have substituted the commercial release (Live in Edinburgh 1985) of Dick Gaughan performing "Victor Jara of Chile" with an alternate FM version of Dick performing the song on German Radio (Koln 10th June 1985). To the best of my knowledge this version has never been commercially released.It seemed appropriate after the interview to include a version of the song rather than just fade in/out. Dick's delivery is wonderful.

World on Three with Mary Ann Kennedy
31st October 2014
Mary Ann Kennedy with new tracks from across the globe, plus a live studio session with Scottish singer Ewan McLennan.
Ewan McLennan's last album was chosen by Mojo magazine as one of the top ten albums of 2010 - his new album,''Stories Still Untold', has just been released. He was brought up in Edinburgh, and was classically trained on the piano - however, his family was imbued with Scottish folk culture, and his ideas on introducing folk-style improvisation into Chopin was not well received by his teachers. He then turned to classical guitar, and worked up a formidable technique. All this produced an individual approach to folk music, reviving sometimes well known, sometimes long-forgotten songs and presenting them in a new light. He also writes his own songs, reflecting present-day concerns: he says, "One of the songs from my album, 'The Last Bird to Sing', is about the ex-soldier and conscientious objector that I got to know ; Joe Glenton. Not only is his story inspiring but it occurred to me it's one that has been told, in one form or another, in traditional folk songs through the ages.".
