this is a great read, thanks for going deep into all the details of preparing and keeping the show on the road - looking forward to the next instalments ;-)

Thanks so much for the encouragement. It’s quite cathartic for us and hopefully informative for musicians and live music lovers alike. The next episode contains some pretty grim reading: from the very, very high to the very, very low.

What lovely a comment. Thank you!

Everybody bashes social media but it does have some positives. Without Facebook we would never have met!

Yes, the model is broken - the question is was it ever fixed? If you go back to my article about streaming - https://vibes.starlite-campbell.com/p/to-stream-or-not-to-stream - I look at the old and new models.

We have a raft of multimedia stuff to offer, some subscription based like this very blog/podcast and Bandcamp with some based on the sales of physical things - artworks, vinyl, CDs and other merch. YouTube will also work for us in time.

The rest of the series will give you real insight into what’s happening in the UK right now. It’s ugly.
