There's a Gallic sensibility in The Moon Under Water today. Wafts of cognac and coq au vin drift through the air as the patrons get a glimpse across the Channel into a world rich in brusqueness, culinary delights and many of the world's great elixirs. This is all because Tatty Macleod is in to build her dream pub. Probably best known as 'That French TikTok Lady' her unique multi-national upbringing has leant her an Anglo-French cultural insight few others possess. So she brings fascinating peeks into our societal and drinking idiosyncrasies - which sadly often boil down to us Brits being much less refined.Tatty is currently making her way up and down the country with her tour Fugue, so be sure to check her out!Do you want to contact the Landlord? If so, send an email to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

*This is part two of John Cooper Clarke's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part one first or things might be slightly confusing*Given his status in the poetry world, when thinking up the words to describe this week's guest at The Moon Under Water it would be very easy to put pen-to-paper and attempt to write a verse about him. But we're not going to do that: we wouldn't want to even try and compete with him. Instead, what we ARE going to do is welcome him with open arms into the Correct Realm as he prepares to create his dream pub with us; it's poet John Cooper Clarke!At this point it's fair to say that John Cooper Clarke is a living legend. He's one of the most recognisable figures in the country, and he's been someone that the Correct Realm has been calling out for constantly over the past nine thousand years. He is guaranteed to bring a whole host of stories with him, and we cannot wait to see how his dream pub shapes up.Do you want to contact the Landlord? If so, send an email to robbie@moonunderpod.com.
