Somewhere in the music industry, between 'sex drugs and rock and roll' and The Wiggles, is the rest of us. 'Music Mothers and Others' is an audio parents group -a chance to discuss how parenting fits (or doesn't) into music industry life. During the series we'll talk to people from across the industry - artists, promotors, techs, broadcasters, writers, academics, teachers - anyone who has a gig in 'industry', whatever that means.
Hosts Liz Giuffre and Shelley Brunt are industry veterans, academics and parents - as well as members of the broader village. For more see us at https://musicmothersandothers.com/ and of course at 2SER FM, https://2ser.com/
Our guest today is Patience Hodgson (https://www.instagram.com/paehoddy/?hl=en). Patience stole the nation’s hearts as the lead of iconic Brissie band The Grates for nearly two decades. These days Patience still plays but in more select venues and occasions - with one of those excellent occasions being a special appearance at Small Fry Rock (https://www.instagram.com/smallfryrock/?hl=en), the all ages gigs run by KJ Tainton that really do tick all the boxes for families enjoying music together. We’re thrilled to have you here, and still hopelessly devoted to you - Patience!

Bella Jessen
This episode we speak to Bella Jessen. A musician, student and genuine young person, Bella got in touch with us for a project she was doing on mothers and listening - we couldn't resist! In this chat she asks us questions as well as the other way around, and it's a lovely way to explore how music can help us build our identities, as well as learn who our parents and carers are as people, rather than just people we roll our eyes at when we're teenagers. You can catch Bella's music at Crushed Lavender (https://www.instagram.com/_crushedlavender/) and The Robbies (https://www.instagram.com/_therobbies_/) - a future star for sure!
