Folk punk griot Black Guy Fawkes (and his trusty 2520 sidekick Ed) talk to a variety of musicians and other creative types about their creative process, their work, the social justice issues that affect them and their communities, and often hit them a few silly quickfire questions at the end.

Fawkes and Friends: Billy Liar

Massive announcement: Black Guy Fawkes is joining Pigeon Pit and Laura Jane Grace and the Mississippi Medicals for two dates leading up to Pouzzafest: tonight, May 14th at the Broom Factory in Kingston, ON, and Wednesday, May 15th at the Axis Club in Toronto, Ontario. And that’s why the intro sounds weird–Ian and Ed are currently in a hotel in Rochester, NY, and Ed couldn’t figure out a way for them to both sound good for an intro, so they farmed it out, because they are becoming big time podcasters, or something.

BUT! POUZZA! Today’s guest, Billy Liar, will also be at Pouzza, playing solo on Saturday and doing a full-band show Sunday. Billy Liar has toured all over the world, but this will be his first time in Canada. Billy and Black Guy Fawkes share the things they’re excited about with Pouzza and Canada in general, the difference between liking coffee and being a coffee snob, and some great stories about the punk and DIY scenes in Scotland. Ed, of course, asks a question about the film Highlander, because he is a massive dork.

Billy Liar grew up in the underground punk rock scene, finding his feet and forging his sound through a self-imposed relentless touring schedule, a love of playing live and an understanding that good things do not come to those who wait. Great things come to those who get out on the road and make a hell of a lot of their own mistakes. His latest album, Crisis Actor, came out last year.
