This could go in the Wanted section but I thought it may be more of a discussion.


I'm one of those whose musical work has dried up and I'm finding it hard to see where things will go in the future.


I am early 50s have been doing this since teenage years. Several big label albums under my belt as an artist but very interested in sound art/ambient/electronic/experimental too.

Guitar is my main instrument and I'm looking for a person who is fun and sympatico and professional to go forward as a team doing something that will earn money at some point. Since this is unlikely to be performance, I'm thinking library and other things.


Anyone compatible accepted. Are you interested - do you know someone?


Cheers!

Hi, mlteenie.


Yes, I am very interested. In fact I've only just joined this forum in the hope that I might find like-minded musicians and/or producers looking to try something new.


I'm happy to PM you but I'm also curious as to whether there are any any others who might like to join in...but I'm easy either way.


I too am primarily a guitarist in my 50's, though for the past 30 years I've focused more on the studio and less on performance, and I too had been ticking along very nicely up until 6 months ago when...oh well, we all know don't we?


It seems to me that now might be the perfect time to take a random left turn and see where it takes me. I still have some remnants of an active imagination and it might be fun to see what fresh trouble it can get me into.


Now, I have to be honest and say that the "professional/earn money" side of your post wouldn't be the first thing I'd be looking for, initially. Not that I'd turn my nose up, but I suppose I've always been more about making music than making money from music.


That said, I'd be happy to discuss this further with you.

    • Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue. 
    • I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Amott Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.  
    • I’m happy to report that I got a much earlier prescription review than the 22 September.  Not sure what that was down to but I was sent a text to say to expect a telephone call on a certain day and time for earlier this week.  It was with a pharmacist and not a doctor.  I was later told to expect a telephone call on call on both the 19 and 23 September.  They are really pushing the boat out. Not complaining. Also, Dr. Shivji is back working.
    • "Firing"? "Demanding"? A "habit on here of 'demanding' answers"?  Crikey. I didn't say you "should" do anything! This is a forum.  For discussion. I will say whatever I like and ask whatever I like,  within the forum rules, as can anybody else  Please move your issues with me to the thread I have started in the lounge on feeling safe in London, because this is a thread about a burglary in Lacon Road. If you continue to post your complaints about me on this thread, I shall not respond, so do feel free. Or if you think I have broken any forum rules, do feel free to report me to admin.
