It's second hand, but this is slightly more affordable than Β£1200-Β£1500 new Still extremely unattainable, but at Β£700 its slightly closer to a realistic price I could one day afford

Im not going to push this as an actual mutual aid request because it's probably the farthest thing from a necessary purchase I could ever think of But if people do want to donate to a broke musician fund so I can upgrade my 60 year old clarinet sometime in the future, I guess you can do so here

Im kinda sick of all the financial bullshit life keeps throwing our way.

We're still struggling to figure out how we're going to keep ourselves fed between now and my next pay day, and im about Β£100 behind on bills, including Miths Insurance, his pet plan, and the rental costs of our white goods It doesn't matter how much our joint income improves, it's never enough

Broke disabled musician fund to get me a new (or new to me) pretty noise maker or two? One can dream. I've been dreaming of owning my own E13 for 20 years. 10 years of dreaming of having my own Bass. Maybe i should by a ticket for tomorrow's lotto - that 2mil jackpot would be rather lovely

When I do finally have the money to splash out for a new one though, its very possible I'll get a Bass Clarinet rather than a Bb standard, since I no longer have access to one to play, and I do miss sitting on the back row, but that will all but double the cost, if not more

This gives me just a little hope that the world might just get better one day. If Lula can win, despite everything that was done to stop his voters being able to actually vote, then maybe the rest of us can get the the other bastards out of power too

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

He may be registered at the vets as a domestic short hair, but that double coat is getting thick; I am not looking forward to the amount of fluff that will invade our house when his coat blows this autumn It has pretty much cemented the idea that his dad is the big white fluffy monster that prowls

I would like to clarify The 3rd clarinet part to Troika is not a technically difficult part to play, but the entire thing is bloody semi-quavers and having to count 100ish bars, plus make the repeats on time, is brain numbing and near impossible to keep track of

I successfully managed to play through the 3rd Clarinet part to Troika without dying, for the first time in 26 years. Im proud of myself!!! Also got Chrostmas Festival out, which is a lot of fun, and finished off the rehearsal with music from How To Train Your Dragon,

Looks like about 3 grand should cover the cost of both a Bb standard and a bass clarinet One day, maybe Defo need to buy that lotto ticket

Not quite the point of the post But if you work in a care or nursing home, whether you're there as part of the care team, activities, HCAs, the lot of you THIS is what that job is about. You are there to assist them in living the best lives they are able, and that includes, as a fucking necessity,

Was lovely getting back to band tonight, even if we have got the Christmas pad out. Snow Chase, and Troika, both of which we have spent the last 20+ years trying to get to a performable standard. One day, we might get there, but if tonight's rehearsal is anything to go by, it won't be this year

among many other obstacles, i think what’s been especially disheartening is the lack of interest despite all the widespread support for giving trans athletes a platform in sports. it’s honestly left me feeling pretty sad and frustrated. oh well onward we march, i suppose.

The joys of being a broke arse musician

I did the maths, and as of next week, its been 26 years since I started playing clarinet. 25 since I was gifted my current one I should probably be an awful lot better than I actually am I should also get round to getting a new one at some point, mine is an amazing starter instrument, but it's
