One Sunday morning, I woke up to a message in the My Northern Sky inbox…

“Last night I was driving home from rehearsals. I’m a dancer, and at the moment I’m due to fly out to India for a show - one which is very commercial, and very different to the dance that I really love. Therefore, on my journey home I was battling with myself, trying to talk my head around to the fact that it’s only a job, and that maybe one day the work I create in my own time will be the work I am able to perform and earn my income from. But altogether, I was feeling pretty frustrated, and pretty exhausted.

Then, out of nowhere, I fall across new sounds on the radio. As I casually flicked through radio channels, I came across your music being played on Radio Berkshire. And my whole heart and soul relaxed, and uplifted - a physical feeling of relief. Because here was music that connected to me. Here was music that matched how I truly dance, and how I feel. And here it was, being played out to listeners of the radio.

Thank you for making this music, changing my perspective yesterday evening, and reminding me to push through for what I know to be right. I’m now full of ideas, and have spent most of last night writing and sketching them down.

I just thought you should know, really.”

Umm...


(And there's more. I'll share Part 2 soon...)
