Client: “We’d like a singer/pianist to play at our wedding and provide their own sound system. How much will that be?”

Me: “Sure, this is how much it costs”

Client: *tumbleweed*

Do people just not appreciate the skill, level, and investment that pro musicians make to become proficient at their jobs? Not even a response with “Sorry, that’s out of our budget” or “We’ve went a different way”. Just silence. So disheartening. 🤨

In other news, ceremony wedding bookings open. 💍

Scottish folksongs anyone? https://open.spotify.com/artist/6LpOSUOv3KoatefXQISkVd?si=ag5pnW6WTuCYG-GUuKy2zA

I had a lovely time at the Rector Christmas lunch yesterday. Over 70 students and staff joined for scran and festive games. A huge thanks to all staff and students, especially our wonderful Officers at the Student Union for making my first year as Rector of the University of Aberdeen so enjoyable, illuminating and rewarding.❤️

I’m looking forward to singing and reading at the University of Aberdeen Celebration of Carols in London at St Marylebone Parish Church on Tues 17th. 🎄🔔

Last month, 70,000 streams garnered me just £92. 🤨🥶 Streaming is severely detrimental to emerging and independent artists. TODAY is #BandcampFriday. All proceeds actually go to the artist. So if you’re considering supporting, download my 32 track full band compilation here → https://bit.ly/3Mi1JBG

24 hours. One gig. 12 hours of driving and barely any sleep. Never let online trolls tell you that being a musician isn’t “real work”. Those trolls would never manage to pull this off. Now in sunny Florida and loving it ❤️❤️ BTS at www.instagram.com/iona.fyfe
