Now, in an effort to secure his legacy, filmmaker Rob Curry, along with actor and filmmaker Tim Plester, are on a crowdfunding mission to save this unique treasure trove of material.

In the first of a special (our first ever) double header, Neil and Dario discuss new Irish comedy road movie Apocalypse Clown. As it debuts on Netflix following a short cinema run, Neil talks to 'friend of the pod', producer James Dean about his collaboration with the team behind the project, comedy music troupe Dead Cat Bounce, the project's gestation and journey to the screen and the place of comedy in film culture and cinephilia.  This is picked up by Dario and Neil who wrestle with the general (if only perceived) seriousness (earnestness?) of cinephile culture and how comedy is often ostracised or embraced tentatively at best, within it. To kick off the episode, Neil discusses the crowdfunding campaign from filmmakers Rob Curry and Tim Plester to preserve the moving image archive of folklorist Doc Rowe who has been documenting the calendar customs of the British Isles (amongst other folk practices) for over 60 years. Details on how to support the campaign and the film, with some excellent rewards, can be found here. ----- You can listen to The Cinematologists for free, wherever you listen to podcasts: click here to follow.

HAPPY XMAS EVERYONE! We bring series one of What Goes Around to an end in fine style with a BUMPER Christmas cracker of a show featuring some familiar voices from our first year in the pod-o-sphere! What a show it is too, like many a Christmas we start off with a quick trip to A&E. Anne and Eamon reminisce about their experiences over the first 20 episodes and the amazing guests they have had on, then theres an exchange of gifts and warm glow of seasonal joy. From there we welcome a cavalcade of Christmas guests including M Z Harrison who pops in to wish us well and share her 'Solitary.Christmas' project with us. The wonderful Jo Wallace of Ramrock Records is back as our resident Agony Aunt, sharing her wisdom and bearing her soul to listeners in desperate need of advice. The irrepressible Wrongtom returns to help us choose our official What Goes Around Christmas theme. We have an alternative Queens speech from our very own Queen, Karen Arthur. And finally Bibi Lynch brings the show to a climax by offering Anne and Eamon the chance to share their own Phonographic Memories with you at last. We would like to say thank you to each and every listener who helped the show grow so fast this year and we would also like to offer our eternal gratitude to our fabulous roll call of guests: Wrongtom, M Z Harrison, Tim Plester, Hannah Cartwright, Pete Rogers, Marcus Brigstocke, Bibi Lynch, Karen Arthur, Tom Ravenscroft, Miles Chapman, Soweto Kinch, Kieron J Walsh, Jo Wallace, Wendy Erskine, Prof. Sophie Scott, Andy Dawson, Labi Siffre, Craig Charles & Malik Al Nasir.

An English woman and an American man drive through the American south in 1959. Their mission is to record folk songs for the Library of Congress, but they also record what peoples' lives are like at that time. How did this bode for the future?Welcome to See Hear podcast episode 78.The man was ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, and the woman was folk singer Shirley Collins. Their travels came on the cusp of the civil rights movement, and Alan had returned to America after an extended time away avoiding HUAC. The journey should have just been a study in peoples' living conditions and preserving a wealth of songs previously passed down from generation to generation. The fact that Lomax had been responsible for recording music from Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger meant that anything he did was considered a political act – not a safe thing in 1950s America.Bernie and Maurice had the pleasure of speaking with English film director Rob Curry about two of his films – 2017's The Ballad of Shirley Collins and 2020's Southern Journey (Revisited). The two films are intertwined with each other, so it made sense to discuss both. The Ballad of Shirley Collins reveals its subject in the 21st century living her life in Sussex. She hadn't been able to sing for over 30 years, something she struggled with as singing was at the core of her being. Southern Journey has Rob and his co-director Tim Plester taking the same journey in 2018 that Lomax and Collins did in 1959. They meet up with many people in the same regions – some are actual descendants of the people recorded in 1959, others are part of the spiritual lineage. In 2018, this may be just as political, but presents a very different picture to those on our news programs.Like Lomax and Collins, Rob and Tim were also travelling in a politically charged time. We speak to Rob about both films, the differences between the roles of folk music and commercially popular song, southern hospitality, the ties of community,.....and Morris dancing. We also discover that a popular rap artist of the early 90s lifted his biggest hit from a traditional drum-and-fife tune. Who was it???? You'll have to tune in and find out.Unfortunately, Tim Merrill was unavailable this month, but Bernie and I are hugely grateful to Rob for taking the time to speak with us. We recommend both of these magnificent films for your viewing pleasure. The Ballad of Shirley Collins is available at https://vimeo.com/ondemand/shirleycollinsmovie. Southern Journey (Revisited) is currently on limited cinema release, but will hopefully be available to stream in 2021.If you've been enjoying the show, please give us a favourable review on iTunes and let your friends know that our show exists.Proudly part of the Pantheon Network of music podcasts.

What goes around? Well this episode will see Anne and Eamon grappling with the concept of taste, worrying about the robots and falling down a K-Hole of K-Pop. Our special guest is actor, writer and director Tim Plester. Tim has made a number of award winning films such as 'Way of the morris' and 'The ballad of Shirley Collins' as well as appearing in everything from 'Game of Thrones' to 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. He is also a man that has been known to strap bells to his body and take a pigs bladder to the face. Tim takes us on a search for tribal identity and it all gets a bit sentimental about the time when Eamon wore the tightest trousers he had ever seen. We would like to dedicate this episode to the memory of Bryan Sheppard the fool of Adderbury village.

In the new episode, Number 53, Neil and Dario screen and discuss Elaine May’s hilarious and acerbic 1971 comedy masterpiece A New Leaf, co-starring Walter Matthau. Neil screened the film at Falmouth University’s School of Film & Television with his colleague Kingsley before a live audience of staff and students. Discussions in the episode cover writer/director/performers in Hollywood, the belatedly secured reputations of women in film, what comedy should be used for and when, and the genius of Walter Matthau. The second of those topics is pertinent to the interview for this episode, which Neil conducted with Rob Curry and Tim Plester, the filmmakers behind the new documentary The Ballad Of Shirley Collins.
