Edit thing and slowness is driving me nuts, I started by playing guitar and bass, did some crewing and through this got to know some people at the time, worked with a couple of up and coming bands both on the road and in studio, I also went and got some business management qualifications as I wanted to try and get through into artist management, without saying too much you come up against the big boys who learnt their trade in the 60's and early 70's, they make the mafia look tame. I got out and can't say I am sorry, I still play guitar but due to an accident 11 years ago suffered severe tendon, nerve damage and the loss of a finger joint to my left hand, I only play for my own pleasure now. I love music still, along with sports and the best days are either at St James Park or late in the evening at a gig, doesn't matter if its a pub or arena as long as the music rocks and the beer is flowing. Like most industries it's who you know but I would also have an alternative path as with all artistic disciplines there are so few opportunities being chased by so many.
