Been in this community music game for a wee while.
It’s a hustler’s life for sure, getting used to not knowing where the work is coming from, but still makes me nervous to the core.
Mum reckons I shud do a PGCE, says she scared of seeing her babies struggle, she didn’t put us through uni with this in mind. Sometimes the 9 – 5 seems real tempting but nah!
Still gonna hang in there, hopefully the universe will provide. Some workshops go amazingly, some leave me sad, but still gonna fight to be the best that I can.

[...] The pic above somes it up, I’ve been in a dark room, staring at and playing synths for the last few days, yup, I asked for it and it’s happened, snowed under with work, I’ve even turned down a few projects!! I know!?! The other day I was bemoaning the hustle! [...]
Keep in there Bobster
At the moment, work wise it’s fine, cash flow is odd….but it’s the not knowing, recession scariness that’s worrying.
Thanks DK!
We should set up an arts mafia, charge the big organisations rates for protection
Ha ha!
GTP it up, ain’t no shame in taking the dark side!
Nah, don’t wanna do formal yet. Love for the kids, but like working with smaller groups, and don’t care if kids shirts are hanging out… Not really.
