My guest this week is Jeffrey Lewis
Jeffrey is a singer-songwriter from New York who has perfected a scuzzy, urban style of indie-folk... a mighty 21st Century mash-up of folksy spiel and artsy garage, like Pete Seeger meeting Sonic Youth.
I spoke to Jeffrey in September 2026, in the green room of Swansea' Bunkhouse, between the soundcheck and the peformance (hence the slightly dodgy sound quality).
It was a truly great gig. Previous guest Hue Williams was in attendance - even if we didn't know it at the time.
A shout out to the excellent support act as well: Egg Spectrum.
