Music Dad Episode- With Ronnie Joice

Welcome to Finding Nico (Formerly Known as Stupid Hearts Club)The podcast where you follow me, Nico Tatarowicz, trying to figure out who I am and what my purpose is going to be, now that the TV industry has melted like a snowman in a volcano. Taking my career with it.-------------------One of the hats I am wearing as I figure out how to survive in the cruel hinterland of my TV writer comedy heyday is that of 'Music Dad'. A badge and idea that has become very dear to me as I submerge myself into the grass roots music scenes of Brighton and beyond, anbout 30 years later than you are supposed to.Ronnie, as you will hear, actually played a key part in me daring to start fraternising with musicians again as a middle aged old fool.I recorded our chat last week in the Lion and Lobster in Brighton. Have been meaning to get Ronnie on for ages but we could never get the timing right and then BOSH, there he was already not shutting up at any point for over three hours. Taste of my own medicine without a doubt.He's got a story or two has Ronnie. Enjoy.Music DadxBTW if you hear this before the 16th Nov and there are any tickets left, Ronnie is DJ'ing for Babyshambles! Hear all about it in the ep!-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the show, then PLEASE consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!
