Musicians without day jobs, how do you make it work?
Yeh I don’t think introverts choose to be introverts.
As a bit of a loudmouth myself it’s taken me a long time to appreciate where introverts are coming from, since they can seem haughty or unfriendly at first.
So many great musicians are introverts, though, it’s an essential skill to get on with them!

I know and have worked with both Vas and Nigel. Hardworking dudes, organised, terrific players and vibey.... you need it all, a lot of skillsets.
Haven’t seen Vas for ages..... live on the other side of london now...

I think it’s getting harder though. Wouldn’t like to be in debt from college still.... in the UK higher education used to be free.... in fact my first couple of years they GAVE me money...
Seems very unfair on the young uns
