Stick in the Wheel’s music has been described as “precision folk with anger, lust and blood.” The band’s founders Nicola Kearey and Ian Carter take Matthew Bannister for a walk through their East London stomping grounds, starting in a Victorian weaver’s house in Spitalfields, taking in Walthamstow Market and ending up in Epping Forest where they’re joined by fiddle player Ellie Wilson. Along the way they sing songs that reflect the chequered history of the East End of London.

I must be too parochial in the folk I listen to. I've certainly not paid any attention to the London folk scene, which is why I hadn't got round to listening to Stick In The Wheel. Having played this fascinating episode, I'm going to put this right. Thanks, Matthew, for this great series of podcasts.

This is a great listen. I'm a big Stick in the Wheel fan so was especially interested in this episode, but the style is so relaxed and just lovely. I'll be listening to more of these.
