from The Inline G Flute Podcast · host Gareth Houston
This week’s episode comes from that lovely time vortex between Christmas and New Years, when we’re all full of chocolate and pints and time is but a construct.Therefore, this week’s guest is perhaps the most special on of the podcast’s history, as I sit down with my mum whilst I’m home for an Irish Christmas. She’ll tell you all about the challenges of raising a professional musician as someone who had zero connection with that world, including financial difficulties, class gaps and some very steep learning curves for all of us. If you’re a parent to a musician, this episode is the one for you.
