Music as therapy (or… therapy stand-in) is a tale as old as time. I’m convinced the first cave-teenager to suffer a break-up took to banging rocks together in a rhythmically satisfying way, rather than talking about it. I could absolutely…
So here’s something you’d never be expected to guess from reading pretty much anything I might choose to put up here. In the ‘real world’, I have a job where I am required to both: a) Plan — over a…
