Heading back to Sheffield next Friday with my good friend Nightwave. Plot 22 is a proper rave den - only 120 capacity, a 'no phones' policy on the dacenfloor, bang in the city centre. Tickets are only a tenner, come join us: ra.co/events/2125891

This is all too familiar.
Someone once said to me 'Scarfolk has 100s of 1000s of followers, and then there were the books & merch, TV/film options, etc. You must be rolling in it by now'.
I didn't even make minumum wage. Many years, I didn't even reach personal tax allowance.
There’s no money, no opportunities, massive audiences mean nothing, talent and hard work mean nothing, experience means nothing. It’s just impossible to earn a living. I’m the most optimistic to ever optimism about career stuff and even I’m losing hope.

I don’t often go to clubs anymore, so I’m not discovering new music in the way that I used to.

I’ll continue buying music on Bandcamp, but is there a streaming service that doesn’t fleece artists? I really don’t want to give #Spotify my money.
