3 months ago I was in a coma, struggling with 49 percent burns. Today I managed my longest walk only aided by a walking stick. I walked down the foyer of Southmead Hospital. I'm very proud of this. I might need a skin graft in my neck.

I'm going to say something stupidly obvious, I love live music. I love how it can make me understand and connect with my emotions. How it can make me feel OK to be in rooms with strangers & how I've ended up having so many conversations with people from any age, gender or race.

Ok so tomorrow night will be exactly 1 year after i had the fire accident, of which i am extremely lucky to have survived. Its a minor miracle that i am still here on this planet,thanks to the amazing Drs and Nurses and the Fire crew who heloed me fight for my life.

One of the things that really pisses me off is when people move into a city center and complain about the noise of a cultural establishment that has been there for decades. If you can't take the noise don't move into a city center.

Gigs have been pretty good for my mental health because they help me to be in rooms with other people and learning how to socialise. Most of the venues I frequent have become safe spaces for me, hopefully their safe spaces for pretty much everyone.

most artists are people who are multi-skilled and you know do work other jobs, and most of their work generates work for other people around them and a circa of over £5billion. Which is something that you don't seem to grasp. Just proves how out of touch you are.
