Bonfire has a new album out called Fistful of Fire and that seemed like a perfectly good reason to bring Ronnie Parkes back on the We Talk Music podcast.

Honestly, just about any reason to bring Ronnie back on the show it’s good enough for us.  As proven in Ronnie’s previous appearance promoting 2018’s Temple of Lies, he’s an exceptionally easy person to talk to. Any conversation with him just feels like catching up with an old friend, because that’s his personality. It helps of course that he brings such candor to the interview, and that he’s had so many fascinating experiences in his life.

So we get the update from Ronnie parks on how Covid-19 has affected him and the rest of his band including his now delayed move to Ireland. Then we move into the new album Fistful  of Fire, Including an explanation of most of the songs meanings as explained by the Bands bassist / lyricist. 

Ronnie Parkes also gives us the inside scoop on how things didn’t go as planned during the bonfire and Friends tour, and explains exactly how he got given the role of lyricist in the first place from band leader Hans Ziller. We also talk about Han’s search for the ever elusive perfect Bonfire album, and why Fistful of Fire may be it.

You’re going to have fun with this one folks, it’s a light and yet serious, funny and yet introspective chat. You can bet we’re looking forward to the next time we  get Ronnie Parks back on the show.
