Jerry Stevenson Success Secrets for Musicians.

Jerry returns to the podcast, and we look in depth at what makes a successful creative musician.

The points raised work for any artist gleaned from many years of experience of working as a top guitarist.

This gets very deep and very interesting, and I my opinion are the things not taught in college and go to the very essence of what makes an artist.  

Jerrys credits include Chris Rea, Barbara Dickson and Procul Harum and well as playing for the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Great chat with Julian, I thoroughly enjoyed this. A very, very interesting guy. Julian Vayne is a British independent scholar and author with over four decades of experience within esoteric culture: from Druidry to Chaos Magic, from indigenous Shamanism through to Freemasonry and Witchcraft. Julian is the author of books, essays, journals and articles in both the academic and esoteric press. He sees his work as part of the process to help re-imagine an earth-centered, non-dogmatic, open-source spirituality. He shares his practice through mentoring, workshops, online teaching and retreats. Julian’s style is highly collaborative. With an academic background in teaching and learning, and as co-author of numerous texts, Julian’s style emphasizes curiosity, collaboration and creativity. His approach is informed by chaos magic, deep ecology and lineages within Wicca and Tantra. Julian is a co-organizer of the psychedelic conference Breaking Convention, and a Trustee of The Psychedelic Museum Project. A founding member of the post-prohibition think-tank Transform, Julian sits on the academic board of The Journal of Psychedelic Studies, and has been a visiting lecturer at several British universities. He is an advocate of post-prohibition culture and supporter of psychedelic prisoners through the Scales project.

Charlie Kish Guitarist for Another Day Rescuing Phones and Being Very Cool on Social Media

It's great to talk to Charlie Kish who is the guitarist for the rock band Another Day.

Charlie is oozing with enthusiasm for playing and gigging which comes across in this interview and a cracking guitarist to boot.

This was great fun chanting to Charlie as he talks about playing the guitar from the age of four and how a visit to a music shop can transform your life.

Another day or a superb young band who are worth checking out if you're in the London area, and they have some fantastic ideas about social media promotion.

This is such an amazing story that it needs another listen. One of the inspiring tales that is very weird. 

I am really pleased to be talking to an old friend of mine, Kevin Lee. 

Kevin was a school friend, who from humble beginnings, has lived an interesting life. His amazing story  involves music, martial arts, famous musical families and vintage cars. 

Great insights into how things happen, seemingly by chance but how luck can be stacked in your favour. 

Mini Kingman, Prog Rock, Coming to Art Late, Occultist and Success in Male dominated Business.

I am delighted to be speaking to Mini Kingman on today’s podcast. Mini has a varied and interesting life working as a rep for her father’s highly successful business for over 20 years but her other interests include lifelong interest and connection to the occult and the Prog Rock scene working with some high-profile artists. 

Mini is a poet and artist working in a variety of mediums and she talks about the challenges of coming to terms with identifying herself as an artist and how coming to art later in life has a positive effect.

Paul Cheneour Flute, music improvisation, strands of income, addiction to thinking.

Paul is one of the greatest musicians that I know. He is awesomely creative with over 60 albums to his name with fabulous collaborations with musicians world wide.

The addicted to thinking – we go down the Sufi, Taoism and Zen path to liberate ourselves.

How to unlick your thinking – this is brilliantly expressed by Paul.

Paul has a way of expressing the process of thinking and not thinking in the creative process

Teaching - allowing you to be in touch, if you want to learn.. teach

Technique - how to make your skills

Paul is creating original music with flutes for CDs, films, videos, theatre, television and games as well as working with other composers. Collaborating with great musicians and artists on projects is his delight
