About BALLEY TV:

In 2020 when the world was shut down and in need of connection, IDLES’ Joe Talbot launched BALLEY TV. The series was filmed in isolation with guests including Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES, Mike Skinner, Sharon Van Etten, Arlo Parks, Billy Bragg, Kae Tempest, Kenny Beats and more. The conversations ranged from current events and creating art in a pandemic to the occasional quiz segment and marshmallow eating contest.
