Episode 77: 48 & The Flying Dogs

A project that started over 48 years ago! – Andy Whiteman and Mark Stone met each other at 5-years old. Best mates since then, they have wandered round the world, settled in different countries, brought up their children, worked their nuts off, & lived a lot.

Time again they came back to their original project – a debut album. Andy, a professional environmentalist and ‘love emigrant’ living in Bulgaria for over 20 years’ set about the task. Together with a collective of musical collaborators from UK, Australia, Bulgaria, Ireland, Cyprus, Nigeria and Brazil, they released their debut album – Best of Better Days - in 2021.

With songs stretching back to the epic ‘go hard or go home’ tour of Australia in 1999, the album explores eclectic meanings, melodies and rhythms. Preparing for the next musical adventure, Andy - a vagabond and wannabe troubadour – is eyeing up a global tour
