To live comfortably in Edinburgh, Scotland, you need to work full time and earn ~£24/hour.

If you’re earning less than this and struggling, it’s not your fault

What if Creative Scotland: gave artists a UBI; gave artists a say in which organisations get funding; gave artists and organisations a link to commercial funding options?

Share your thoughts!

Everybody Knows (You’re Lying About Me)
By Paul Connolly

Being gaslit sucks. You don’t deserve to be gaslit. And don’t be a gaslighter.

When I have my doubts, my uncertainties, my feelings of questioning if I’ve let opportunities pass me by, I just remember the venues my client The Director has performed at in NYC and vicariously through him feel better. Thank you to all who made those performances happen.

A little one I worked on a while ago. The melody is a little wonky though I enjoy the vulnerability of this rendition.

Runaway by Del Shannon (Late Night Sleepy Edition)

Some nights you go to bed early when you feel tired. Other nights you start playing 1960s songs on the ukulele and upload them for reasons...
