The Afterword Podcast


This is GLK London calling the world...an audio companion to theafterword.co.uk

Twang welcomes Blue Boy and Dai to the pod to discuss Van Morrison. There’s little to argue with about the quality and usually the quality of the various Vans we have seen, and “Astral Weeks” is given suitably reverential treatment other than one member who moans about the noodly flute player. They agree that through the transcendent Celtic soul and deep mysticism there is a rich vein of Van humour to be discovered, and not a mention of harmonicas.
