From the very first demos, the arc of the Villagers story has pointed inexorably upwards, always reaching for the higher ground, a climb like no other. In this episode Conor O'Brien joins Dónal in The Sugar Club for a discussion on some of those lofty peaks and how he got there. In-between there's a bunch of live songs as well as a run through some key points of influence from Pierro Umiliani to Dorotthy Ashby, Robert Wyatt and Linda Perhacs.   https://wearevillagers.bandcamp.com/music   https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32902440
