Helped someone write their funding application. Even paying themselves £0 to write, record and produce, the costs were close to 6k to create a 5 track EP (w/ a very modest marketing budget of £200). It’s sobering how little music is valued when it costs this much to create.

Last chance to win the pink sequin suit & sunglasses I wore onstage with @manics this summer, along with a signed setlist & AAA pass. Enter by signing up to The Anchoress mailing list at theanchoress.co.uk The winner will be drawn at random on Sept 30th. Good luck! 🤞🏻

An excellent, practical thread on what we can do to establish a #cleanair standard. It’s baffling that some music venues protect their patrons better than any hospital I’ve been in…
