Hello John, thank you for reading, I’m glad you enjoyed my posts. I’ve had a short break to work on my VACMA project... I’ll be back writing this week. Excellent that you’ve setup a Substack - it’s a great platform to share on!
A thoughtful post, and my reaction is that it’s disappointing that although we’ve travelled some distance towards a fairer and less judgemental world we still have so very far to go, and that post's like yours are still needed.
We had an example of a woman who’s shunned the system to build her career her own way this weekend when we went to see Eleanor McEvoy. Eleanor has done that in a less flamboyant way than Madonna, turning down the opportunity to be a manufactured star on the back of her early success, and as you know through supporting her at the Caves, touring as often as she can, playing to small audiences and spreading her music by word of mouth.
But I thought of your post when we were sat in the audience at the concert in York, listening to the music of a woman who has, and continues to make her own choices.
Yes, I remember that show at The Caves! It was lovely, and in such a great venue. Eleanor is definitely an inspiration - great that she continues to work and play live and has never 'conformed' (so to speak). I remember thinking she was a really nice and genuine person, too. I imagine it was a lovey gig, I'm sure you enjoyed it :)
i enjoy your writing and the layout too. I might even have a go myself...
