This week, I sat down with York-based musician Michael Collinson at the RWB Music store in York to discuss his journey as a full-time musician in northern England. We dive deep into his background, how he juggled various gigs and teaching roles, and the ups and downs of sustaining a musical career. From playing in multiple bands, handling repairs at the shop, and even considering cruise work, Michael gives a raw and inspiring look at what it takes to stay afloat in the music industry. Big thanks to RWB Music for hosting us. Don't forget to check out the links to RWB Music and Michael's projects below.
