Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club Podcast! A place for everyone who believes in love, openness, creativity and giving life a good bloody go.

-------------------

This weeks chat is very special and is a Music Dad Podcast episode.

Last week I took myself to off to a fancy-pants Rock Star hotel in Kensington, London to chew the fat with Scouse bass legend Russ Pritchard of Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds. Also formerly of the Zutons, and The Big Kids (who you MUST check out).

in this brilliant, insightful and beautifully honest chat we hear what it's like and what it takes, alongside luck, to claw your way up in the music scene. We discuss the dedication and guts it takes to hone your craft so hard that you one day may find yourself casually sparking a co-write of a song that will then become a part of popular culture as ubiquitous as salt in the briny sea (none other than 'Valerie'). I think you will love Russ, he is very much a person who clearly doesn't take a single moment of his job for granted, and he made me a proper Brew with not too much milk in it.

This FREE version of the chat is dead ace but FYI, there is a different edit with a longer cut of our chat on my patreon at patreon.com/stupidheartsclub in which Russ tells the very amusing story of how he got the job with Noel Gallagher- There are a good few extras sitting waiting for you in the patreon feed going back months, including episodes of 'Tea and Empathy' where I meet strangers in cafes for a brew and find lots of humanity, and several episodes of The Busking Chronicles, which is what I called my music based eps before I realised I was in fact The Music Dad.

Wherever or however you enjoy the joy thank you so much for being here

Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.

What a wonderful, rich, musical treat I have in store for you this week as I drop my second ever official Music Dad podcast. This week my guest is a very very talented lad indeed who goes by the name of Christian Le Surf. I saw Christian NAILING his first ever headline gig the the other week and was blown away by how well arranged his songs were. This episode goes some way to showing where that ability comes from as we get a peek into the mind of a serious musical talent. Christian then plays us acoustic versions of two of his originals, does an ace cover of 'Senses Working Overtime' by XTC, and then pluckily joins me in a rendition of one of my own songs 'The Place Beyond The Tears'.

To enjoy the full effect of how good this dude is absolutely make sure you go and check him out @christianlesurfmusic on Instagram and search for Christian Le Surf on Spotify, Facebook and Bandcamp (which is probably the best place to help him make a few pennies).

Hope you enjoy

Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

-------------------

Greetings my Stupid Hearted angels.

This episode of The Stupid Hearts Club Podcast features myself and anti-comedy king Mark Silcox enjoying a sumptuous Punjabi meal in central London on a sunny Friday afternoon and really getting under the bonnet of his comedy philosophy.

I knew I was going to love catching up properly with Mark (which it turns out is a stage name, um...what?) but I had no idea just how deep my admiration would be for his journey from India, to unassuming science teacher to stalwart of the avant-garde UK comedy scene and Uncle Shady in Man Like Mobeen.

This mans mind has to be heard to be believed (yes I'm reclaiming that tire old phrase for the pod world) and frankly I would happily have him on as a regular for his insight and disarming leftfield wit.

Enjoooyyyyyyy

Silly Uncle Nicolas
