SHC EP 89 - The Music Dad Podcast With Russ Pritchard of Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds

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

Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby

About the Podcast

Stupid Hearts Club
Everyone with a stupid heart is welcome here!
I'm Nico. Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club Podcast. Allow me tell you a little about the show....

In Summer 2021 after having such lovely feedback from Matt Morgans gorgeous Patrons I decided to start my very own podcast. It started out exclusively here on Patreon, but now it's out in the wild for everyone to hear! I initially called it GSOH and I (usually) delivered one podcast per week. It has become a really cool thing in my life and my community of patrons are legends who give lots of me ace feedback and love. And it helps me support my creative endeavours during the peaks and troughs of the TV comedy world, (script writing is my main 'job').

Since then I have doing lots of music with the name Stupid Hearts Club, and as I am going to be out and about trying to pull people into enjoying all of 'my stuff' I thought I would re-brand (puke) my podcast as Stupid Hearts Club too in the hope of pulling in the odd new listener. Is that YOU? If so Hello, come in, sit down.

You might be wondering what having a 'Stupid Heart' is. Well it can mean many things. It might mean you have a silly sense of humour, and like titting about and being naughty. (which is what this show is) It might mean that you are a hopeless romantic fool despite all the terrible evidence that love is a cruel joke that pokes you in your stupid heart (which is what all my songs are). Either way everyone with a stupid heart is welcome here.

The podcast itself will still be me having a laugh with another person I have met along the way, whether they are funny, interesting, daft, or just plain adorable. But I won't just chat to comedy people anymore. And I will *usually* put a little Stupid Hearts Club tune or cover at the end of the episode.

I'll shut up now. But whatever you are here for, thanks for coming along!

Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby!
