About this listen

Maxine chats with Patrick, who has lived on his 70-foot narrowboat Little Miss Sunshine for over a decade. They discuss the joys & challenges of canal life, the tight-knit boating community, practical realities of living afloat and some memorable moments — from sinking mishaps to a swimming squirrel.

Patrick also explains how he & friend Timothy turned canal-inspired poems into a folk album recorded on the boat, their plans for gigs and community-focused songs that call out canal maintenance issues. Listeners will hear practical advice for new boaters, the highs and lows of life on the water, & where to find Patrick's music. https://www.thegrandestunion.co.uk
