Local musicians: adapting to change

I’m always looking for freelance opportunities, or contract work. My experience and ability used to be my greatest assets. No more. If I do get an interview, the conversation centres not on what stories I’ve covered, but when I covered them – focusing on my age without actually asking me.

People warned me about tantrums when I had my first child. I prepared myself for the worst, but my daughter never had the epic outbursts my friends described. Then, my son came along.

A winter wardrobe usually contains your basic neutrals like black, grey and brown, which is always a classic choice, but this doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun and inject some colour back into your look.
