Hi, it's Ian. I raced a 10K. It was okay until I got to lap eight when that hill kicked in, and that was... I won't swear. It was evil. For me, it wasn't such the hill. I'd gone a bit too quick in the first 8k to save a little bit of time knowing I had the hill. But as a result, my legs were fatigued. So it was a double whammy, really.

But at least when you got to the top of it, you knew you had an easy last k. I went for a range of emotions out there. But yeah, once I hit the stop button, yeah, it's happy. So all good.

I call it roots folk pop. So it's a mixture, really, of lots of different influences. A bit of country in there, a bit of Americana, a bit of folk and a bit of pop.

No, great. We'll go for that.

Very lucky, yeah. We were driving up this morning, it looked a bit cloudy, but yeah, it's been sun and bright blue skies at the moment and while we were playing, so that's brilliant.

That's essential for us because we write original stuff pretty much. We put a few covers in on longer sets, but it's about keeping music live, keeping it original in that we're trying to write, you know, reflecting what's currently happening in the world. truly in it together in a community fashion.

Well, I went down to the Eden Project about ten years ago, took my two daughters down there, and we learned all about how plants and trees communicate. with each other through a mycorrhizal fungal system, network they call it, and they call it the wood wide web. I started to research that and read lots of books around that area including Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life and

I wrote an album a couple of years ago called The Wood White Web, and we're playing songs from that. And that's kind of an underlying theme of ours is environmental concern and community actions that we can take.

My name's Ian. Her name's Pepper, and she's two and a half... and she's a Siberian Husky. She's a good dog, apart from the fact that she runs off. She goes walkabout almost every week. She gets bored, crosses the field through the flats into the graveyard around there, and then she comes back thinking she's very clever. She is clever, yeah, but she's naughty. But she loves playing with other dogs.

She's gentle with all dogs. She doesn't bite. She's very good with children. When she molts, they pull her fur out of the back. She just stands there and lets them pull handfuls out. She likes to go for a walk three times a day. She likes to be chased by other dogs mostly. She likes them to jump up on her and rough her up. She doesn't care.
