How do you adjust to parenting life when you're a busy touring musician? What's up with the way the music industry works these days? And why might daytime festivals be the way forward? #DaytimeBonfireFest

Hartwin Dhoore is an award winning composer and diatonic accordionist from Flanders, Belgium. This month, Mel chats with him about his strengths & vulnerabilities in tune writing, composition, and collaborating with classical musicians, learning to go with the flow in work/life as a new father, and questioning the challenges presented by the current state of the music industry and what the alternatives might look like.
