Tune in to our Fine Folk show on Tuesday 18th February at 7.00pm to listen to an interview featuring Alan Ritson speaking to local Lincoln band ‘Fred The Fool’

“Every band has a story, and theirs begins with a shared love of folk music and the timeless art of storytelling,” explains Alan. “Though Adam Daubney, Simon Hawking and Mole Middleton had known each other for years, moving in the same musical and social circles, they had never made music together—until now. A passion for local history and a desire to tell those stories through song brought them together, and the rest, as they say, is history.”

Mole first joined after hearing some of the early productions Adam and Simon had worked on. With a keen ear for production, he felt he could elevate the sound, and his instincts were spot on. Together, they discovered a natural synergy, creating music that felt true to their roots while exploring new creative horizons.

If you missed Fine Folk this evening - featuring Alan Ritson speaking to Jack Rutter - you can listen on catch-up and see Jack perform at Southside, Lincoln on Friday 7th February.

This Yorkshire folk singer has established himself as one of the standout voices of the folk, roots and acoustic music scene in recent years. A hugely engaging stage presence, his soaring vocal, powerhouse guitar and bouzouki playing and masterful arrangements of traditional songs and contemporary covers have enthralled audiences from the largest festival main stages to the most intimate folk clubs.

2023 saw the release of his critically acclaimed third album This Is Something Constant, a compelling and spellbinding showcase of gripping story ballads and upbeat festival-stage firecrackers, perfectly pitched and delivered with soaring, crystal clear vocals that breathe new life into ancient tales.

Don’t miss tomorrow’s Through Noon special (Tuesday 4th February) from 10am when Chris and Julie will be hosting an exclusive ‘In Conversation’ with Photographer Dr Mike Maloney OBE.

Born and bred in Lincoln, Mike started his career at the Lincolnshire Chronicle before becoming one of the youngest national newspaper staff photographers when he joined the Daily Mirror at the age of 23.

Mike is Britain’s most decorated press photographer, with over 100 major awards to his name and in 2005 was awarded the OBE by Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

When Robert Maxwell bought the Mirror Group he took Mike on as his personal photographer.

Constantly at his master’s beck and call, he attained a unique personal relationship and was part of Maxwell’s tried and trusted inner circle.

At the elbow of Maxwell, Mike recalls when he travelled the world with him, meeting and photographing Kings, Queens, Royalty, Presidents, Politicians, Pop Stars, Heads of State, even Mother Theresa.

Don’t miss this fascinating insight into the ‘proud yellowbelly from Lincoln’! Tuesday 4th February 10am to 1pm
