We’re very pleased to welcome Jamie Wollam to the podcast – Jamie has been
playing drums for Tears For Fears for the last 15 years, which is a time that has seen
a lot of change for him, both personally and as a parent.
Jamie gives us a very frank and honest insight into dealing with alcohol addiction
and the result that this has had on the relationships with his two children. He tells us how that has been for him as a busy touring drummer and how it was to tour away from family before technology made the world so well connected. Even more importantly, he tells us how his relationships to his children have evolved and what he hopes this means for the future.
