*This is part two of SOFY'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* Breezing into The Moon Under Water it's exciting pop prospect SOFY.

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.

The Landlord is away this week as Robbie has decamped to the Alps! And that calls for an update from one of France's high altitude bars to chat all things apres ski with some pals. Plus, a lonely Dan leaves Robbie a voicemail to check in. Do you want to send a message to the Landlord? You can get in touch with us on robbie@moonunderpod.com Hosted on Acast.

*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?

This week, the Landlord has been to an incredible amount of pubs (many of them rather spooky). Given that he's racing so far ahead the question has to be asked: has he already put the '52 Pub Challenge' to bed? Plus, a listener questions Dan's memory, and Robbie discusses getting the train from Slough to Norwich. Do you want to send a message to the Landlord?

*This is part two of Jessica Fostekew'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* An air of excitement has descended over The Moon Under Water. Is it because the days are getting longer, and we're creeping towards the time of year where beer gardens make a return? Partly... but it's mostly because a fantastic guest is about to arrive in the Correct Realm after a rather long journey, and no doubt she's ready to settle in and share her dream pub with us. Joining us this week is comedian Jessica Fostekew! Jessica is an absolute behemoth of the UK comedy scene, and in fact she has JUST started another mammoth tour, where she'll be performing her new show 'Mettle'. If you're in the mood for some world-beating comedy then make sure you go and catch her live. But now isn't the time for comedy: now is the time for PUBBING! 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.

In this edition of The Pub Notice Board, Landlord Robbie and his regular Dan received a very special message from a realm that has NEVER been contacted before.

*This is part two of Vittorio Angelone'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* Landlord Robbie and his most dedicated regular Dan are constantly tending to the fixtures and fittings at The Moon Under Water, purely because they know that a guest could walk into the Correct Realm at any given time. They have no forewarning, no heads up... simply a knock on the door when the time is right. Coincidentally, it looks like such an event is about to occur, as sauntering their way towards everyone's favourite Pub of the Mind is the stand-up comedian Vittorio Angelone! Vittorio is one of the hottest prospects in UK comedy, and has already made a name for himself as one of the go-to people you HAVE to see live. And thankfully for YOU he's currently on a massive UK tour, so get yourself out there and grab a ticket. But first, he has the very small matter of creating his own fantasy alehouse.

*This is part two of Shaun Keaveny'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* Some people like pubs. Some people would go as far as saying they love pubs. And some people - like our guest this week - have a connection to pubs that's bordering on being spiritual. He has beams and fixtures flowing through his very being, and you'd be hard pushed to find someone as passionate about alehouses as he is. We are so excited to be welcoming one of the UK's most beloved broadcasters into The Moon Under Water: it's only Shaun Keaveny! Shaun has a very special claim to fame: he's one of the only other people to have run their very own mystical pub, The Open Arms. Put it's time for him to head into the Correct Realm where Robbie and Dan await him with open arms, and we can't wait to listen with glee as his own dream pub comes to live. You can listen to 'Shaun Keaveny's Daily Grind' wherever you get your podcast. Want to contact the Landlord? If so, send a message to robbie@moonunderpod.com. Hosted on Acast.
