Weekend greetings, team.
I’m certainly no economist (what musician is?!), but that was…a week. I think we all need to take things steady, enjoy time with our loved ones, get outside into the open air, and be grateful for all we have.
It’s a pleasure to welcome a significant number of new subscribers here to The Cut Through over the last few weeks. It’s great to have you, and you’re just in time for next weeks’ 2 year anniversary of its beginnings.
In the meantime, and especially with so many new people around, I thought we should have a good old Ask Me Anything week.
So…if you’re new here and you want to find something out, go right ahead:
And of course, to all of the wonderful and most loyal of readers and subscribers - not least the ones who have been here from the very start - if you have something on your mind: possibly relating to touring, planned/new releases on the way etc.
As we arrive at a significant milestone next week, look out for some additional posts alongside my regular Saturday morning post.
Hi SimEon, do you ever play with other musicians? If so what is your favourite instrument to play together with?
Hi Simeon, it’s Thomas here … I recently found one of your records in Vinyl Revival in Manchester. I was so happy to buy it and take it home … I even mentioned it to you on Threads. Then I felt terrible because it meant someone had given that LP up … it surely must be a rare occurrence but how does it feel to see your music in secondhand shops?
