About the show
The podcast of James ( Boo ) Gilbraith - Author of the books Terminal Chancer, Hooked on Hope, Anarchy Pie and Playhappy.
Field Notes are his lo-fi musings on recent fishing forays, writing, painting and anything else in-between. Expect a dash of humour, fabulous mistakes, daft behaviour and bad ideas, as he fishes his way through life.
Warning occasionally there may be some bad language but i do try to keep a lid on it........however sometimes when you embrace both triumph & disaster - the air can turn a blueish hue.
