#2: Creating a Global Folk Session with Maurice Condie
Jonny interviews Maurice Condie, the founding director of Phoenix Folk, a Newcastle-based folk collective who've launched one of the largest online folk sessions in the UK. Maurice tells the incredible story of how a small local folk session turned into a tri-weekly international session including musicians from across the globe. In fact, it's been so successful that Phoenix Folk have made as much money from their music-making this year as they did pre-pandemic! Maurice has also cracked the conundrum of how to perform simultaneously with someone over Zoom (with minimal latency) - important listening for any musicians doing virtual gigs! ---- Phoenix Folk: https://phoenixfolk.co.uk/ Their sessions can be joined every Monday, Thursday and Saturday from their Facebook page: http://facebook.com/phoenixfolk ---- The Resilient Musician is produced by the Encore Musicians team, and is presented by Jonny Venvell (Head of Artist Relations) and James McAulay (Co-Founder & CEO).
