In order that I can do all of the above activities (acoustic folk punk songwriter, singer, guitarist, performer, promoter, festival organiser, teacher and skillsharer) and develop my professional musician activities (developing new work, recording and developing new merch ideas, as well as improving my 'online' presence), I require an income. I am able to earn some money from teaching, tutoring and support activities, but the more time I dedicate to these, the less time I have to develop as an artist, which is frustrating in these times of few gigs and precious few merch sales. I am therefore asking for any people out there who wish to support what I do as an artist to consider subscribing a small weekly or monthly amount of money. Unlike on other subscription platforms, you will get no specific reward of content, merch or 'recognition' (and I think you can even do this anonymously, so no one else apart from me sees who you are or what you have given). However, what you will receive is a warm feeling of having supported my artistic endeavours, my eternal gratitude and the promise that if we can work together on any of these projects, I will gladly consider collaborating with you.
