Here are a couple of wee bits on The Won Over that appeared on the Manic Pop Thrills blog last year. They haven’t been totally ignored :-)

Comment on “Selling Out is down to Opportunity…” by Gary Marshall

Oh, I’m getting major deja vu here :)

If you want to be precious about it, any time a band plays a gig in a traditional venue – pub, club, whatever – they’re helping The Man sell beer.

Did you see this?

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/sashafrerejones/2013/08/how-will-musicians-survive-in-the-spotify-era.html

“The working question is not about the life of a band like Wilco but of smaller outfits, where making a living is sometimes not even a question, when a day job is the only option. How do we think of music when the chances of it providing a living salary are incredibly small? What is the positive viable future for marginal (not a bad word) and independent artists?”

It’s a good piece, well worth your time.

Comment on Council Homes Destruction Provides Inspiration by Andy McGarry

Hi Nyla,

you’re welcome. I’ve set comments to 30 days from published date after which they turn themselves off. I admired your courage as it’s not easy standing up to perform all by yourself. Something Alex here can very much relate to!

Keep having fun with it and if you get a chance to check out Zoë Bestel maybe you two can have a gig together somewhere. Might be an idea to get to know more artists (the non-musician type) to see about playing at exhibition openings, cafes, anything arts-related that helps you avoid the traditional gig circuit.

Hey Andy, for some reason I’m not able to leave a message on the article you wrote concerning my music but I wanted to leave a little message to say thank you very, very much for the kind words. I’m sorry it took me so long to send this.

I hope you’re well,
Nyla
