Client: “We’d like a singer/pianist to play at our wedding and provide their own sound system. How much will that be?”

Me: “Sure, this is how much it costs”

Client: tumbleweed

Do people just not appreciate the skill, level, and investment that pro musicians make to become proficient at their jobs? Not even a response with “Sorry, that’s out of our budget” or “We’ve went a different way”. Just silence. So disheartening. 🤨

In other news, ceremony wedding bookings open. 💍

Last month, 70,000 streams garnered me just £92. 🤨🥶 Streaming is severely detrimental to emerging and independent artists. TODAY is . All proceeds actually go to the artist. So if you’re considering supporting, download my 32 track full band compilation here → https://bit.ly/3Mi1JBG

If you don’t scrap an inhumane policy in the first week or so of governance, I believe that your party are happy to take responsibility of said policy. The two-child cap is cruel. And it is now the Labour two-child cap.

🧵In December 2023, when I used my acceptance speech of Scots Singer of the Year to call for a ceasefire, I was later taken aside and chasitised by a representative of MG ALBA. He told me that someone in the audience was Jewish and that she took offence to my speech. That person was Muriel Gray.

What we have witnessed in the last six months is nothing short of a genocide. Innocent civilians being bombed, a blockade of water, energy and aid. Israel missiles being shot at hospitals. This is a genocide and we need a ceasefire.
