    FIRST he plays the bass notes.. then adds hammer-ons... adds the drum beat... adds harmonics... tells a joke... plays the melody.. does a backflip... plays with no hands.. juggles a couple of flaming bowling pins, fires himself out of a cannon... and still manages to keep the rhythm.

    My dad’s a musician and song writer. When I was seventeen my folks asked me what I wanted to do with myself and I said “music obviously”. They warmed me that music was quite hard and you had to have a certain personality type to get it done. So you might want to find yourself a back up they said. I’m now 32 with two degrees behind me and close to £100,000 student debt and I work as a therapist on the stroke wards - and I love it!
    But this feels like what might have happened if I said “na I don’t care if it’s hard, let’s have it!”
    Never too late though.
