well this is it - the practical truth and the bullshit news.
yes I was a jobbing musician (allegedly) most of my life.
I won't weary you with the facts, but being a musician is very much like anything else. Supply and demand. Nobs and workers. Europe and unacknowledged protectionism.
For your information , I had records out in Germany, Italy, Holland. Toured Spain. Offered tours in the gulf, Germany, Spain. And the Musician's Union wouldn't have pissed on me if I was on fire.
Sorry if I insulted you. I have always respected you, but on this subject of Brexit, I find myself in disagreement with you. And this descant pipe that Brexit is at the seat of every problem from blocked toilets to Boris Johnson is wearisome, not to mention screwing up every thread below the line.
