And the painful lessons I learned from it!

🚨 Ever shown up super prepared for a gig, only for everything to go sideways? Yeah… this was that gig. Picture this:
🎻 A last-minute booking at a “casual” folk festival
⏳ Hours of waiting around with zero communication
🎭 A very unexpected performance structure (or lack thereof)

Oh, and did I mention the artist I was meant to be playing with didn’t even show up until hours after we were supposed to start? 🙃

This gig taught me so much about boundaries, professionalism, and knowing when to walk away—lessons that honestly shaped my entire music career.

So grab a cuppa (or something stronger), and let’s dive into the chaos together. You are not gonna believe how this one played out.

👉 Hit play to hear the full story! 🎧🔥
