From one bad ass bass player (Duff McKagan) to another, my guest on Life In The Stocks this week is Sami Yaffa from Hanoi Rocks and the New York Dolls. Sami has led an incredibly rich and interesting life, and it's all documented in his amazing autobiography, The Road Bends. He's also got a couple of great solo albums out, and we talk all about the book, the solo records and his ti

My guest this week is one of my favourite people on the planet, Australian singer, songwriter & musician, Dallas Frasca. And we have an honest and vulnerable discussion about creative and personal development. It's a conversation all about evolution and growth and finding your purpose and fulfilling your potential. Dallas is a brilliant woman and a truly amazing musical artist.

Another Aussie podcast for you this week, as I'm joined by none other than Alan Fletcher, aka Dr. Karl Kennedy from Neighbours, the longest running and most beloved TV show in the history of Australian television. Once again, it's a bloody great chat with a bloody great bloke. You can also catch Alan on tour throughout the UK this July. Follow me on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram:

It will tell you everything you need to know about this iconic Australian band. Ross is a bloody great bloke as well. I think you'll really get a kick out of this conversation. I know I did.

Welcome to Episode 313 of Life In The Stocks. My guest this week is Joe Escalante from The Vandals. I had the pleasure of Joe's company and friendship on the Flogging Molly Cruise last year and it was wonderful to welcome him onto the podcast.

Karina Deniké from NOFX and Dance Hall Crashers joins me this week. We talk about growing up in England, moving to America, the East Bay Gilman Street and Third Wave ska scenes, her 18 years with the Dance Hall Crashers, being a female on the punk rock scene, coming up at the same time and playing shows with No Doubt and Sublime, her relationship with her former Dance Hall Crasher

Exene is someone else I met on the Flogging Molly Cruise - we actually met on the 2022 Salty Dog Cruise, it's just taken me until now to invite her onto the show. But everything happens for a reason. All in due time and all that. I genuinely believe that to be true. This was such a soul-stirring and inspiring conversation.We discuss sobriety, recovery, relationships, heartache, cre

I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with Vic from The Slackers on the Flogging Molly Cruise. And I knew right away I had to get him on the podcast. The Slackers are not only one of the best (and most criminally overlooked) contemporary ska bands, Vic is also an incredible songwriter and musician, not to mention a real old school New York character. I'm sure he has stories
