Episode 98 - Nicki Cockburn - I'm A Real Boat Rocker

  • Summary

  • My guest in this episode is Nicki Cockburn.

    Nicki now lives in Cardiff but was born in 1978 in Zimbabwe. At 5 months old, after her Mum insisted on a second opinion, she was diagnosed as being blind. For sighted people like me that would feel like a massive burden and challenge but in talking about it Nicki says “I’m really happy with it, you have to adapt’ and “it’s been a problem for a lot of people, but never for me”.

    Nicki doesn’t shy away from discussing some of the challenges and prejudice she has faced but her indomitable spirit shines through our whole conversation and I found it deeply inspirational, and I trust you will too.

    The other thing that shines through is Nicki’s deep love of music which has been a positive force in her life for so long. She references over 70 artists in our chat and it’s not everyone that can go from ‘The Chicken Song’ through Jaco Pastorius to Rage Against the Machine!

    Nicki isn’t just a listener she is also a musician. Her musical journey has gone through Piano, Flute and Guitar before she arrived in early 40’s at the Bass Guitar, which describes as ‘her instrument’ and one of her song choices specifically reflect that.

    Her song choices are :

    70’s Your My Best Friend Don Williams

    80’s Rio Duran Duran

    90’s The Car Song Elastica

    00’s Bass Tribute Victor Wooten

    10’s Trust In You Lauren Dagle

    20’s Too Good For Giving Up Liam Gallagher

    Enjoy :-)
