I've tried to leave it. Studied something other than music on leaving school, even though I got into a good music course.

Worked in non-music areas for years.

Through my life it has re-emerged, refusing to 'go away'.

I've given in now. The music comes first. And since making that decision, all sorts of opportunities have presented themselves.

It's not all rosy - sometimes it's just sheer hard work! But nothing else comes close.

Leave music? No.
