In April 2021, in an uncharacteristically quiet DeBarra's folk club, songwriter John Spillane and novelist David Mitchell met. They spoke about music, digressed on folklore and mythology and went down the tangential paths that only conversations between artists do. These musings are interspersed with performances by John Spillane of songs from his new album '100 Snow White Horses'.
