Thanks for posting. It makes dreadful reading.  My only earnings come from music so it's been one hell of a bad 19 months and it's nowhere near getting back to normal.

Thanks.

The gigs are coming in, but slowly, and no weddings or functions yet and that's where the good money comes from.  I'm absolutely sure that there are many in the music industry who are worse off than me.
