Laura’s back to keep Pictish Trail in check! This month, they tackle listener questions, spin fresh Lost Map tunes, and chat with Seamus Fogarty about the reissue of his debut album.

PICTISH TRAIL is back with LAURA for some gossip about Falkirk and Margate, a listener Q&A, and brand-new music from FELL, FIRESTATIONS, and BLIND YEO.

This episode’s featured interview has SEAMUS FOGARTY talking about the making of God Damn You Mountain, freshly reissued on vinyl. Plus, FAITH ELIOTT takes on First Gig, Worst Gig, sharing musical memories both golden and mouldy.

This episode of the Lost Map Podcast was presented by Pictish Trail and Laura Doherty. Editing and additional production from Joe Cormack.

Join hosts PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA for another hour of Lost Map goodness, including (not due to popular demand, or indeed any sort of demand) a reboot of long-lost regular feature, First Gig Worst Gig.

It’s November, the nights are fair drawing in, and LAURA reckons it's the start of winter already. PICTISH TRAIL is still in a summery mood, and tries to pay Laura a compliment on her hair - but ends up talking about his own greasy locks for possibly too many minutes. Thankfully there’s some new music to keep you entertained - the obligatory track from LOST MAP PRESENTS WEIRD WAVE, an archive track from EAGLEOWL, as well as some new music on PostMap Club from TWO WHITE CRANES, VICTORIA HUME and SUSAN BEAR.

There’s no featured interview this month, but we have resurrected an ol’ fave - FIRST GIG WORST GIG, in which artists tell us about the first gig they attended as a punter, and the very worst gig they’ve ever played themselves. It’s a bumper edition of the segment, with confessions from both SEAMUS FOGARTY and ALEXIA AVINA, who conveniently have new releases out this month on vinyl. PLUG PLUG PLUG.
