Winny Pooh Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Is your wife intending (as native speaker) to be the primary breadwinner? And having said that does she want kids? Would you mind quitting your current band for a much smaller scene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Chhers man for the reply Wealready have a 2 year old son and regarding the work she will def be the one earning the most in between us however this will require both of us working as the living cost is expensive based on the salary. Regarding music ....we are finishing writing album 2 then gonna see what happens , might be that the 2 years break wont help us , so then I dont mind moving wjere thereis a smaller music scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I don't know but suspect that Poland will have a lot to offer in a different way. All the best with it. Do you know Roman Koc?, the man behind GMR basses. He relocated to the UK and I see he's back in Poland now. You could try to make contact. I hope you get some help. What is your band called btw?

Thanks for your advice [/quote] Sorry, I have nothing helpful to add... but my girlfriend is from Wroclaw and I love the place too. I never miss a visit (or five) to Spiz everytime I'm there Make sure you post here when you're settled in Wroclaw and gigging there, and I'll come and say hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) It's a big move for you both. You both need to be sure it's what you want. But it sounds to me like you need a change. One of you being a natural speaker must be a big advantage. I'm sure you'll learn more quickly when you're in the "deep end" Whatever you decide - best of luck with it. And I think your age is definitely on your side. Don't leave it too late .... Just realised, that sounds like I want you to leave - but really I don't, honest EDIT: For me, I'd have to check out the local music scene first - I'd just jam along whenever & wherever I could.....
