The Long Road Podcast

A slightly more in control, but still a little bit bonkers, chat betwixt our three Long Roaders - Steve Bonham, Kev Moore and Chris 'the Bishop' Lydon - this time discussing the rituals and riders we've come across in our careers; either our own little things we do to get grounded before a gig or the demands musicians make backstage! Kev takes on the next stage of his Camino trek, and Steve shares...

Hop on board with The Long Road this week, but brace yourselves! For the first five minutes of the show, we've absolutely lost our minds and barely a coherent thought enters the audiosphere. We rally though, and get on to discussing today's topic: stories and why they matter. And then we lose it again. Quite the journey! Kev Moore brings us another slice of his Camino trek pie and Steve Bonham sha...

I was sorely tempted to name this episode "POST-ORGASMIC BLISS!", for reasons that become quickly apparent as you listen to the episode, but I decided against it ultimately. Join The Long Road's lockdown-fuelled, anarchic podcast chat celebrating the release of our latest 15-song album, American Wilderness Odyssey, and its companion book - a full-colour guide to the stories behind the songs, the c...

Once more, we join The Long Road as they discuss plans for 2021 - and the message they hope everyone around the world can spread as we journey through the wastelands left by 2020, and into the future. Steve Bonham asks "Why America Matters", at this time of great change in the USA. Kev Moore continues his trek along the Camino trail and stops for a night of wild camping. The Bishop brings tell of...

Quite by accident we've reached Episode 50 of the podcast so in celebration of this fact we thought we'd do a perfectly standard episode. Boom. The first threeway chat of the year between Steve Bonham, Kev Moore and The Bishop. Steve takes us time travelling with a trip to his past, exploring in his attic. Kev takes us once again back to his trip in autumn last year, doing the Camino trail in nort...

Season 4 of The Vagabond Way Podcast kicks off with the launch of The Long Road's latest single: Western Requiem. In these continuing turbulent times, Steve Bonham reflects on who we are, rather than who we appear to be. Kev Moore takes us on the next stage of his Camino Trek Journal. And The Bish introduces us to his secret Christmas project of homemade chocolate bonbons! Hosted on Acast. See aca...

"A rare occurrence in 2020: The Long Road in the same building! We took a few minutes out from recording our new EP to talk about the Rise of the Artisan and what artisan music means to us. Steve Bonham brings us 'The Angel, The Kid and The Ghost Town: part one', Kev Moore presents his first journal entry from his recent trek along the Camino and the Bishop reports from the kitchen." Hosted on Aca...

That's right! You'll find no synths in this week's episode. (Or any episode for that matter...) A meeting was called. The Long Road met to discuss one of the fundamentals of our approach: sticking to acoustic instruments only. No synths! No electric instruments, really... but listen on to find out more. Kev Moore tells us of discoveries at a secret record store in Genoa, Italy and Steve Bonham's V...

The Long Road, this week, talk all things vagabond and what it means to us, with some deeper insights from Kev Moore about his recent trek along the Camino trail in northern Spain.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

That's not a deep "tube of love", to be clear. Rather: a deep love of tubas. Some tuba-based silliness from The Long Road this week (aka "the ridiculous") followed by an entry from The Vagabond Diary of Steve Bonham (aka "the sublime"), proving how in one episode we can have silly and serious sharing the same atmosphere. Kev takes us on a jaunt to north Africa for his latest Kafe Korner. Hosted on...

Hosted on Acast....

The Bishop stages an intervention, this week. Dangerous levels of musical instrument addiction (not yet recognised by the WHO, but the struggle is real) feature in The Long Road! We take an slightly different route this week, talking "shop" about all things instruments. Kev Moore takes us to a record store out in the beautiful English countryside, and Steve Bonham declares "something's got to chan...

Back together once again, The Long Road meet up digitally to talk about their new single, On A Bridge Across The River, and tight ropes to be walked as writing and composing musicians who also record their own music - when is too much too much?
