Ragamuffin's Brian and Mike have been championing music below the radar before the pod was cast . . .

WEATHER REPORT

A sunny winter's day in the shires, a beautiful walk down through the wet woods where the still is bubbling away.

Ragamuffin Brian and Sue have a new dog, a beautiful labrador called Honey. She's a beauty and can eat for a litter . . .

It's a new year in the shires with more music and tales than you can wag a stick at with Ragamuffin's Brian and Mike.
