Show Notes
Welcome to Justin Hawkins Rides Again…the podcast where each week I’ll be discussing the pitfalls of the music industry. This week it’s time to get down to business. My producer Jenny May Finn is intrigued about how a band actually becomes a business, and how does this affect you as an artist? What goes into running a band in order for it to succeed?
It’s quite business-oriented, however as always we go on some philosophical tangental meanderings related to this. Can you make music your living also without it chipping away at your sense of authenticity? What affect does the business side of things have on how you show up as an artist? We try and answer these.

Thank you for listening! See you next Monday!
More from Justin Hawkins Rides Again
We're back again this week with the ultimate questions "Originality VS Success". Can you have both as an artist? Do you sacrifice originality in pursuit of success? What is it that makes songs successful? Is it even originality? Let's discuss. I'm joined by my producer Jenny May Finn.
Today I am joined by the legendary Rick Astley! It was such a joy to speak to him about music, the music industry and life in general. What a fantastic musician and music lover. I hope you enjoy it.
Today is all about fans and fandom or rather I like to call them "music enthusiasts". How do you navigate this world when you start garner attention and people start becoming actual "fans" of you and your work. What are the ups and downsides to it and why is there such a negative connotation with being called a "fan" in the first place? Let's discuss.
I'm sorry, I have to take a break. The podcast will return in January EVEN BETTER, as we will record some new episodes with some exciting new guests lined up when I'm not gigging with The Darkness. Thank you for being such committed listeners and tuning every week, I really appreciate it and I hope you will join me again in the New Year.
I’ve been looking forward to announcing this… LIVE Justin Hawkins Rides Again...for the first time! This is so far outside of my comfort zone that I’ve already got the butterflies. I can’t wait to get cracking, I have no idea what will happen. All I know is, it’ll be beautiful. Come witness the chaos. So apologies for there not being a longform podcast this week as I'm been on tour with The Darkness, but I've included a Q&A instead. See you next week!
