Music lover currently living in Preston. LFC fan.
Genuinely, my nighttime routine! 🤣
When going around the house turning off lights before bed, I imagine a sniper outside determining my position from the switched off lights, and firing a shot through the curtains as I turn the last one off. I therefore crouch a little as I flick the switch. One step ahead.

18 years later and it can still get me on my feet. Magical.

My new strategy with music is to just give it a go & enjoy it. Everything I used to overthink, stress about and make myself ill over is irrelevant in the grand scheme.

New agenda is to have fun whilst I’m young singing the songs I wrote.

That’s all I have control over, everything else is a bonus

Hey #MusicianSky!
I need something from you.
If you have releases planned (singles, EP, LP, listening parties etc), let me know and I'll put together a weekly overview of what's new and shiny from you folks!
It won't be fancy, but it'll be a way to let people know about your work, every week.

I put 4-0 on my Super6, though I'm still nervous.
So come on -

Honest answers only.

Score predictions...

I daren't.

But that said - I'm going 5-0.

The fear of palindromes is called aibohphobia, which spelled backwards is aibohphobia.

Every Sunday let’s share an album you have a special musical relationship with.

An album that takes you back…

An album you think everyone should listen to.

Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York
The only album I’ve got on three physical formats. Record/CD/Cassette

I'm a little surprised about the artists, as I thought quite a few bands would place higher than Oasis.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, In fact, asking for help takes strength, courage and humility to open up to others. There is also power in numbers and you are more likely to be successful in your recovery from addiction when you have support from others ❤️
