I make my living out of music and don't have a car. I think I'm a bit of an exception as I play Highland Pipes and PA is rarely required. Most of my income comes from funerals weddings and busking. I work all over the NW of the UK travelling by train bus and taxi. Sometimes it means a very early start 6:00 am, and I add the cost to my basic fee. The problem comes when getting more than one booking on the same day, where a car would be essential(that or a private helicopter). The cost of learning to drive, passing the test, buying a car, taxing and insuring it, feeding it with petrol, paying for parking, is far more than I presently spend on Travel. All the best PP.
