Things Musicians Don't Talk About is now generously supported by the Royal Society of Musicians!

The Royal Society of Musicians is Britain’s oldest music charity and our aims remain as relevant today as they were in the earliest years – to provide vital financial assistance, advice and guidance to those professionally active in the world of music but who are unable to work due to accident, illness, stress or anxiety. Being a charity run by musicians for musicians, we are uniquely placed to fully understand the challenges faced within the profession.

Episode notes:

(Episode recorded for our June Voices Radio show)

Before we get to Stu's post-nap's epiphanies, Becca monologues on a recent Instagram Q&A and delves into 'soul-care', doing laptop stuff, missing my eating disorder and practising for a recital. Then we head to the garden to chat with Stu about all things musician. We discuss:

• getting back up after auditions
• spinning the different freelancer plates
• the hardest & easiest things about being a musician
• being in a 'musician couple'
• what music & podcasts been listening to
