Jon started this project on June 24, 2010. I wonder how far he'll go into June, 2011.

You can get all the songs for free by subscribing to the podcast. With winamp ( free from winamp.com ) you can download all of the previous songs, however old they are.

Thanks, Calum. The URL (address) for the Podcast feed is:

http://www.afolksongaday.com/podcast/podcast_feed.xml

On Winamp, you should find a selection titled "Podcast Directory" on the left-hand side of your screen under "media library." Copy-paste or type the feed URL into the "Add Feed" box at the bottom of the page, and click the "Add Feed" button. I think most media players can be set to automatically download podcasts. I confess that this is the first time I've tried it - it's very easy to do.

Seems I just wiped the whole of my stuff on iplayer. All my recorded music plus all the JB songs. Have it all in alternate bits here and there but not the podcasts. Thanks for the Winamp headsup.

Hi, Abdul-
The Podcast Feed is http://www.afolksongaday.com/podcast/podcast_feed.xml, and it works only in some browsers (like Internet Explorer, but not Google Chrome). It allows you to download only the last month or so of recordings. You have to buy the earlier recordings if you want them. They're available at Amazon and iTunes and emusic.com - and probably lots of other MP3 outlets.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Joe, have now got Winamp and the ones available and will buy the others. I thought that was the case but Calum had advised the older ones were achievable.

This remarkable one-year project began on June 24, 2010 - that means it will end this week. I hope you'll stop and take a look before it disappears....or is reborn???????

Breakfast with Boden is the name of my Deep Blue Something cover band.

I'm sorry.

OT: I came into it during February, it's been brilliant for someone who's looking at learning some songs. I've got a fair few on my list :)

Congaratulations to John Boden on completing 365 songs. Such dedication to the music industry should be reconised.

The songs will cycle through again over the next year. Gee, I wonder if he'll add a new one for 29 Feb 2012. If you didn't follow this project over the last year, why not try over the coming one?

I've linked the songs to Mudcat sources as best I could. Reinhard Zierke did a lot of work on the "Folk Song a Day" songs at Reinhard's Website, and I'm sure you'll find his work worth reading.

Thanks to Jon and Simon for all their work on this project.

Oh, and don't miss John Thompson's Australian Folk Song a Day project.

Excellent job from Jon B (and lots of blatant Bellamism involved - always a good thing). Thank you, Jon!

Rumour has it that next year he'll be taking a break from folk music and doing An Old School Punk Rock Classic a Day for Concertina"... first up is White Riot by The Clash...

Subject: A Folk Song a Day iTunes numbers wrong
From: Howard Kaplan
Date: 25 Jun 11 - 02:42 PM

I recently downloaded the last of the Folk Song a Day podcasts from iTunes, though I didn't realize that at first -- I thought I was a day too early. On iTunes, the last track is listed as #364, Fortune Turns the Wheel, and dated June 23. Track #1 is dated June 24 last year, so it has indeed been one year, and there are no days missing (though there are some bonus tracks).

The problem occurred on May 5 and 6, when both Bonny Bunch of Roses (May 5) and Broomfield Hill (May 6) were called track #316.

If you've been wondering what went wrong, you can now stop wondering.

Well, Joe, your statement >>The songs will cycle through again over the next year<< is great news.
But I now find that on the AFSAD site blog, it states that the songs will only be streamed ("for the time being") and not made available on the podcast, which is a blow for those of us who missed the early ones and haven't managed to download them at all. Do we know whether the intention is to re-Podcast as the songs cycle through again? It would make sense...

Hi, MoorleyMan-
I think that Simon said there were no plans to do the podcasts again.

MoorleyMan, you still can download the songs as MP3 albums for $8.99 (or £7.49 or €9.31) a month, and they are in a better quality than the podcasts were.

MM - the MP3s for the last few days can be accessed as enclosures in the RSS feed. If this doesn't mean anything to you, ask a geeky friend - it's not rocket science by any means.

Decent review by Robin Denselow in today's Guardian of Jon's concluding concert at Cecil Sharp House.

Jon Boden's A Folk Song a Day, Cecil Sharp House, London

Robin Denselow guardian.co.uk, Monday 27 June 2011 19.30 BST
   
Jon Boden is an intriguing workaholic. He plays with two bands – the massively successful Bellowhead and the Remnant Kings – while also continuing as half of the inspiring folk duo Spiers and Boden. He clearly enjoys collaboration, yet thinks of himself "first and foremost as an unaccompanied singer". Over the last year, he has been trying to encourage social or communal singing by posting a different folk song on a website every day.

He celebrated the end of this extraordinary achievement with a special show in Cecil Sharp House. The hall was packed, but those expecting a mass singalong would have been disappointed – at least until the very end of the performance.

For the most part, Boden stuck to the traditional songs he has been singing on the web, starting with the Copper Family's rousing Hard Times of Old England. He occasionally sang unaccompanied, but for most of the show was backed by his own guitar, squeezebox or fiddle, or by the harmony vocals of the multi-instrumental Remnant Kings, whose inventive arrangements included a brave four-fiddle setting for Rigs of the Time. Then there were guest appearances from other singers, and sturdy performances from Peta Webb, Boden's partner Fay Hield, and the massed ranks of the Cecil Sharp House Community Choir.

He ended with material from his futuristic, self-written, solo album Songs from the Floodplain, and an emotional finale of Bright Phoebus in tribute to the great Mike Waterson who died last week. Now the audience were joining in at last, and Boden encouraged them to follow him to the bar for a furious late-night demonstration of what social singing is all about.

Moorley, don't know what you use to get the podcasts, but if you can find the "insert manual podcast feed" button, then give it the AFSAD main feed.

DM me if you need more info.
