Join Brian Jones as he sits down with Roy Davies for a special extended edition of Keep Folk Talking, uncovering the remarkable stories behind one of the local folk scene’s quieter characters. From writing poetry as a young boy in Liverpool and chance encounters with Paul McCartney and Ken Dodd, to his lifelong love of folk music and years performing alongside Jacqui McDonald, Roy shares a wealth of memories, music and humour.

Their conversation is a wonderful reminder that even the most familiar faces have extraordinary stories to tell, ending with Roy’s moving song dedicated to his late friend Gordon Morris.

A chance meeting at a park run, a shared love of music and an album club involving a few pints… sounds like the beginning of a good story, doesn’t it?

This time on Keep Folk Talking, Brian meets John and Ultan — better known as The Folk Doctors — to find out how an unlikely friendship turned into a successful songwriting partnership, two albums, an EP and plenty of stories along the way.

From songs inspired by pebbles and shipwrecks to the art of writing together, this is a brilliant conversation about music, friendship and finding inspiration in unexpected places.
