Slovak singer Peter Nagy (64) has already recorded 17 albums with his band Indigo, first place in the Golden Nightingale poll, and this year it will be 40 years since he founded the group. Although he is one of the most successful Slovak singers, not everyone always supported him in his musical career. In Honza Dědka’s talk show, he now recalled his father’s upbringing and revealed which scene from Pelíšké seems to have been cut out of his life.
Peter Nagy, a native of Prešov, Slovakia, was already clear at a relatively young age that he wanted to devote himself to music in the future. Although his mother supported him in this, his father had a completely different opinion about his son’s profession.

His father wanted him to be a soldier
“Dad was an Air Force colonel. He put me in judo when I was young. They beat me there twice, I came back and said that this is not the case,” Peter Nagy revealed how he did not fulfill his father’s idea of spending his free time.
In addition to Peter Nagy, Tomáš Klus and his daughter Josefína also appeared in Honza Dědek’s 7 falls.
The fact that the singer’s parents did not support him in music made him sad at one point. “I think it’s wise for parents to support a child’s talent from an early age. So I was like Janek Ledecky. My parents said that it was a nice thing, but that music would never support me,” he said some time ago in an interview with the Deník.cz website.

However, Peter Nagy was more drawn to music than to the military profession. “I had two posters above the wall – Pavol Hammel and David Bowie. And once I sent a grade 4 to the gymnasium and my father started shouting that now everything will be different, that he will throw away the guitar and the posters. He shouted: ‘This will go out, Hammel out, the woman too.’ Then he was horrified that David Bowie was not a woman,” he laughed in the 7 falls of Honza Dędek, which you can watch on Tuesdays at 21:40 on Prime, Peter Nagy remembering his adolescence. At the same time, it closely resembles the scene from the legendary film Pelíšky, when Miroslav Donutil tears down the poster with the “nasty maniac” Mick Jagger from the wall.
