Episode 12: Pete McAllen
Talking Musicianship, Balance, Grief
Joining Laurence for this episode of the Dad Dialogue podcast is Pete from Pyramid Park! Pete is a songwriter, recording artist and studying graphic designer, alongside being a dad to two girls aged seven and three. Wonder how he finds time to fit all of that in? Listen to the episode!
Alongside the discussion around Pete’s work in the music world, he shares many other stories including some relating to grief of losing a loved one. Having lost his dad at the age of 11, Pete recently also went through the process of losing his mother-in-law. We talk about how he has been able to take those situations and turn them into something tangible through the medium of music, which in turn has allowed him to connect with people how have experienced similar losses.
