With Tim Dowling

Mary Anne is joined by journalist and part-time banjo player Tim Dowling, who talks about balancing his day job as a columnist with his role in the folk group Police Dog Hogan.

Mary Anne is joined by Guardian journalist and banjo player, Tim Dowling, who talks about how he balances his day job as a columnist with his role in a folk, country and bluegrass group.

Tim joined Police Dog Hogan in 2009, after successfully convincing the rest of the band that nobody could play banjo better than him. Six years on, and they now have three albums under their belts, and have played numerous festivals, including Bestival and Larmer Tree.
