Joey C's in the house! Joey's been a dream guest of Matt's for a while now, and he doesn't do a lot of interviews, so it's an honour to have him on Life In The Stocks. Not only is Joey one of the coolest human beings you'll ever meet, he's also an absolute beast of a drummer and has played with everyone from Danzig & Queens Of The Stone Age to The Bronx, Zakk Sabbath and beyond. We covered as much as we could in this interview, but Joey will definitely be back for a Part Two when Matt heads out on tour with Zakk Sabbath in February.Follow Matt Stocks on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram: @mattstocksdjCheck out the Life In The Stocks Patreon page here: www.patreon.com/lifeinthestocks Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lifeinthestocks.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Here it is ladies and gentlemen...the final Life In The Stocks episode of the year - and indeed the decade. And it's the audio from my Evening with Keith Buckley (Every Time I Die) this summer. Part One, which is this instalment, is the live interview between myself and Keith. And Part Two, which will be live tomorrow, is the Audience Q&A section of the show. Wrap your ears around both as you enjoy the final few moments of 2019. On a personal level, I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has listened and supported the show this year. You guys rule!!!Follow Matt Stocks on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram: @mattstocksdjCheck out the Life In The Stocks Patreon page here: www.patreon.com/lifeinthestocks Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lifeinthestocks.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The podcasts are flying in thick and fast between now and the end of 2019 and Episode 144 features solo singer-songwriter Billy Pettinger. Billy is not only one of Matt's favourite artists, she's also one of his favourite people and this episode has been a long time coming. If you're someone who struggles with mental health issues, has been affected by depression or suicide, is a struggling musician, or been on the receiving end of sexual misconduct or abuse, then hopefully you will take lots of positive things away from Billy's inspirational story and spirit.Follow Matt Stocks on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram: @mattstocksdjCheck out the Life In The Stocks Patreon page here: www.patreon.com/lifeinthestocks Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lifeinthestocks.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
