A career as a musician is glamourous right? Wrong! Making a living as a musician is an age old conundrum, how do you earn a living following your passion which pays you next to nothing? Charlie Hinchcliff has had some success as Dear Pariah, the name she records under. Successful support slots for big names and her own sold out shows. But things are so slow to get going and often seem to grind to a halt completely. How can she keep going when she's mentally and physically exhausted from working as a nanny to pay the bills? When will she get her break? Ruth and Sue are joined by Tom Bridgewater from indie label Loose Music to give Charlie some guidance on surviving the music game.
